  1. Anybody have a SOLJET EJ-640 and have a review?

    We are looking at new Rolands and it appears that this EJ-640 has the same head [two of them] as our RF-640, which we have had great luck with and love, and it is full solvent ink. Any other comments please. Thanks Gene
  2. SummaAmerica - SummaUSA - Airmark

    I bought my first Summa T750 23 years ago from a local dealer and another one about 5 years later from SummaUSA [I think?] which is now Airmark. These people have always been more than helpful with the very few problems I have had with these machines and we used the hell out of them, and still...
  3. What is the sequence to get into service mode on RF[VS] printer?

    I don't remember the finger dance required. Thanks Gene
  4. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    I have used Flexi for the last 22 years- from F5, suffered thru F6, finally landed on F7 and F8 which have worked great for me. We purchased several seats of F11 from a nice lady on S101 and like it... but we have years worth of files from old customers that we use regularly. When we open a...
  5. Orajet 3551gra

    I have used this material for years for various things, just lately I have noticed that the vinyl is not sticking to the adhesive [or visa-versa]. When pulling off a piece that has be on for a couple days, the adhesive stays on the substrate. Not a good thing. Anyone else notice this? Thanks Gene
  6. Laser engraving ACM anyone?

    I have a sample book of different colors and finishes for the MAX-metal brand (sold by Grimco) so I figured it would be good to know how the different finishes engrave for future use. In a word- it engraves fine, mostly. As you can hopefully see from the pict the mirror finish was almost...
  7. Minnesota peeps- have 10 sheets of .177 polycarb cheap

    52x102 white- $50 a sheet. No shipping. Gene
  8. Non adhesive trans print media

    Do you know of a translucent media without adhesive, like PVC10 for instance? We do a lot of ATM people and they are complaining about the thickness when sticking to .020 PETG. Thanks Gene
  9. Font Id please

    Thank You, Gene
  10. Suggestions for Alum extrusions for sign frames

    I am thinking we could sell these if we had them to show to people. I am Looking at the stuff at SignComp we have a good miter saw for aluminum, so probably buying bulk lengths would be best? Thanks Gene
  11. Glueing up acrylic?

    I have been having a fine time cutting acrylic with my laser, but how do you do a nice job of gueing? I have bought every syringe and bottle that I can find and the Weld-on 3 always drips all over and makes thing nasty. Any suggestions? Thanks Gene
  12. Cleaning the VS, RF etc

    I am mystified that no one talks about cleaning the machines with this new (now not so new) head setup. I take the wiper carriage out once a month and do a good cleaning and re-install- takes about 15-20 minutes and it gets nasty in a month. The recommended maintenance is pretty minimal I think...
  13. RD works V8- question about how the origin works on the machine & other stuff

    How many people use RDworks (Ruida DSP)? I have been learning the intricacies and many settings of this program for a few months and can do (generally) what I need to do with it... but I have a self-destructive side and feel a need to learn more about it. Would anyone care to share the different...
  14. Font ID please

    I am kinda under the gun here- cannot contact the designer or anyone else- can you ID at least the main copy- I can fake the rest without anyone noticing (I think). Thanks Gene
  15. Is Roland the only Japanese company who...

    Has engineers who can build incredible machinery, but don't understand that when you try to load vinyl from a roll... the edge will tend to catch in any groove that is put in the platten, unless you could, maybe, undercut the downwind side a smidge? Every Roland printer I have had has the...
  16. Gerber Edge and enVision 375- with Omega 2.0

    OK- the old barnacle of a computer I had to drive this setup finally died and the young folks who actually do the work around here have no interest in continuing the Edge saga that we started in 1999. Whooooh am I getting old. The head on the Edge (the front opening style) has a pixel out almost...
  17. Anyone using this type of cartidge with a bulk ink system (adjustable float)

    I still have a dozen 440 cartridges before I switch but that will not take long. This is the cartridge I have run into most in my searches for a bulk system for my RF roland- lots of them on ebay- I bought from the Chicoms direct and it looks just like what they are selling for 2-3 times the...
  18. Bulk ink systems for the new style roland with single large head (RF, VS, XF)?

    Anyone using one or know where to find one? I have RF640 which comes 2 x cmyk. Thanks Gene
  19. Looking for a 3/4 x 6 inch nameplate holder?

    A (good) customer sent me this pict- looks like someone stacked 3/4 x 6 holders but I can't find those either. Anyone have a source they can share? Thanks Gene
  20. Knight 16 clamshell heat press

    This machine is 15 years old and has about 5 hours of heat time on it. It seems to correspond roughly to the current DK16 model (http://www.heatpress.com/product.php?pn=9). I am looking for $300. It is heavy and would be a pain to ship so prefer local pickup. I will throw in the thermal...
