I started this in the Magenta banding thread- but decided to start a new one. The VP has a feed scale (think linear scale but four inches diameter) on the end of the grit roller shaft. I talked to my tech yesterday and he was surprised to hear that and said most Rolands don't have it. I am...

Just got an email- $400 is cheap. Gene http://digitalprintmarket.com/index.php?menuid=9&categorieid=1&subcategorieid=21&advertentieid=6806

Are lighter blues more likely to band than other colors or is it my machine only? Head prints look great. I guess my question is... do you have some colors that band more consistently than others? Sometimes every other color on a print will look great- except for a light blue. Thanks Gene

I have a customer looking for a round overhead banner 18 foot diameter- and need to educate myself... as this will be expensive and I don't want to screw it up. It is part of a very expensive trade show display that we are doing. Any advice? Creative Banner has a econo fiberglas frame that...

I have been using a 15-16 ft cable for 4 or 5 months but it is getting cranky about connecting with Vworks- when I use a short cable it works. Not sure if the cable is failing or that is is just at the max (according to the USB wiki) length. I cannot get closer than 10 ft- and that will...

I friend loaned me a new Dell 64bit computer with Win 7 pro on it to try to get my old version of Flexipro 7.6 to work- and it seems to work fine. I am still struggling with getting XP mode to play nice with my LAN but I am guessing that will be doable if I get someone in that actually knows...

Is there a way to download these? Iam on a mini cation with limited wifi but time to watch. Thx

I am back to fighting a banding problem. The last time I changed profiles and got a temp reprieve- the VP540 is 4 years old and does a lot of printing so I am going thru and checking everything that might make an old machine unhappy. Seems line the feed encoder (on the left end of the grit...

This has been a work in progress- but I think is is done and I am satisfied. Not only am I cheeep- but I like to customize things to my tastes. The winder is a rotisserie motor (50 or 100$) with a homebrew brass adapter to turn a closet rod with various plastic plumbing fittings to get to...

Here is my answer to A. being forgetful and 1. having 2 or 3 different people running our printer. The white board is useful for multiple runs- which is common here. When starting a run I mark down the number of prints needed and the media start point. When that run is done the endpoint is...

Been meaning to post this all summer but... you know how it goes. A lot has been posted in a thread recently but I will start a new thread- perhaps easier to find. I bought a GX-540 to complement my Vp-540 and speed up production. The VP is 4years old and running perfectly. No heads / only...

I use AI mostly to open other peeps files and then save to a version that works well with Flexi- this has alway puzzled me, I cannot figure a way to check the rez on an included raster (it is always to low- but I need to tell how low:smile:) Thanks Gene

My Roland tech had one of these the last time he was in and I was so impressed I ordered one on the spot. Get the lighting option- the angle is perfect- the first time (in 10years of printing) that I have been able to actually see the yellow head test prints. Also great for checking plotter...

I love this magazine (and it is published in MN)- $10 a year- give it a try. Have subscribed for a year and learn something every month. http://www.familyhandyman.com/

Watched the first 9 hours... then Speed switched to a NASCAR 'practice' session.......((((((((((()))))))))))) oh god- I am channeling OldPaint Celebrating my 44th year of owning (at least one) Corvette.

For $8,000- used of course- no other info.Thought someone might be interested? Just got an email flyer now. Gene

I have seen a couple trucks running around with this lettering for 15 years- always thought... ug-ly. Now we have to do one, Thanks Gene

Very annoying. I have looked on Google (and Googled) to try to just decline the offer.

I am having a strange problem where I get what looks like fisheyes in some colors- always reds and some greens but not in yellow or black or most other colors. I have tried 4 different rolls and types of media. Changed filters (bulk ink system on VP540), captops, wipers and I have dampers...

My sweetie was hearing crows screeching Sat morning and investigated- found an eagle in the tree closest to our house with crows harassing him. He was there all day- the crows would come and go. Finally after 6-8 hours he flew off. His head is not quite white yet- an adolescent maybe?
