  1. Any Roland VPi Owners Have Trouble Getting At Heads To Manually Clean Them?

    I did it for 5 years- kinda tight but it can be done. I lit it with leds under glass (solvent drips melt plastic).
  2. Making any money working for someone?

    A good technician will usually make more than the owner in this kind of industry. This is not to say that the owner is not accumulating wealth (given that they are thoughtful ) but that will be down the road... if they do it correctly.
  3. which is better????

    Brown Sugar = Claudia Lennear
  4. Adhesive material that magnets will stick to?

    I stepped into the powder room after posting this and opened a Signs of the Times mag to the UltraFlex page advertising this stuff. Nothing stranger than life. Thank you both. Gene
  5. Adhesive material that magnets will stick to?

    I am sure I have seen this somewhere (seems like one of the mag sheeting mfg?) for a dry erase board application. I can't come up with the proper search term. Thanks Gene
  6. What are they called?

    I tell my peeps that it is easy money (outsourcing) vs. hard money (actually producing the product). I have made a lot of hard money in my life... easy money is fun every now and again.
  7. Anyone with a VS configured with double cmyk ink?

    I am having trouble with VW changing random ST,DP, and DK spot colors- if you look at this screenshot you will see what I am talking about. If you open the VW spot chart you cannot go into the file format>spot color>detail so I am going to try to attach the same chart that Roland sent me that...
  8. Anyone with a VS configured with double cmyk ink?

    I have a RF which I believe to be a VS without the cut function and is always configured as 2xcmyk. I have a couple questions about the Versaworks printing of spot colors- has been driving me out what little mind I have left. Thanks Gene
  9. I need a 4.x version of VersaWorks please

    As I said I have been going back and forth with Roland for 5-6 weeks- we have eliminated a *lot* of stuff. The printer prints beautifully and if I correct the values in the spot color detail... it prints as expected. This is a rare printer apparently- altho I believe it is the same as a 2xcmyk...
  10. I need a 4.x version of VersaWorks please

    I have been going back and forth with Roland Tech for 6 weeks now on a problem where 5.2 (upgraded to 5.3) that came with my new RF printer is changing the cmyk values on some DP and DK and sometimes ST spot colors. They are now satisfied that it is not the printer but they cannot understand...
  11. The Profit Sign Shop Episode / Precise Graphix

    WHAT??? Reality TV is all bullpucky?
  12. Paper backing recycle

    I give a few logs of it (from the laminator) to friends who use it for painting / gluing and other messy jobs. I also have it on a dispenser so I can tear off pieces for the same reason.
  13. Problems with DP and DK spot colors with latest VersaWorks?

    Is anyone else experiencing problems with some of the deep and dark spot colors- not all of them- the pr and st colors are good. I have been going around with Roland tech for 5 weeks and they seem to have given up. Thanks Gene
  14. Arlon vs Oracal

    I have used 3551 GRA for many years and never had a failure. Arlon is probably good too... but I won't be finding out.
  15. Managing a business thats overloaded with work

    Someone disliked my response... 'You poked my heart!' Funniest video of little kids ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sKdDyyanGk
  16. Managing a business thats overloaded with work

    Techman and Cat have good ideas. I have been telling customers for years- don't put every service you can do on your signs/trailers... put on there what you like doing, what you make money at, and what you want to do. You must turn away little jobs that are not worth your time- people...
  17. profit margins?

    Not enough to interest me in this area. I have made enough hard money in my life... I am now going for the easy money.
  18. Drawing a track map for vinyl sign

    Nice to meet you Pete. I grew up in the CanAm and 935 era- in fact I have a 935K3 as my screensaver. I and a friend autocrossed a new '73 Corvette 454 at Donnybrook for a couple years. Not a great car but still fun, fun, fun. Gene
  19. print sticking on take up - Any thoughts??

    Adjust the total ink limit? I can't see this after lamination and we laminate everything.
