What exactly did you use, please.

3M is a hometown company and a good company. When I first saw Oracal at a tradeshow I thought- more crap. Now all my print media is Orajet- we still use some 3m colored vinyl (and have a hundred (partial) rolls on the wall but now we buy 10 yards instead of a roll and the supply companies often...

These printers are fairly new in the states... you prob know more about them than we do. Good luck Mate. Gene :toasting:

How old is the printer? I have a RF640 [same printer w/out the cutter] and I remove the wiper assm once a month for a total cleaning as that is about the only way to get to the wiper scraper on the bottom and it gets nasty. Two cap screws and two wire connectors and it comes right out. I have...

Nozzle test OK? How old is the printer? Any maintenance performed? Captop clean? I'm on tablet... so being brief.

CO2 needs eye protection also if it is not class 1. Very good info here: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/laserfaq.htm

I believe I read that Thunder turned into Full Spectrum? Also a laser in an enclosed case is a Class 1- a flatbed laser is a Class 3 or 4, the difference, among others, is everyone in the room requires laser eye protection. I have a Chicom laser arriving on the 30th... and the journey begins.

Don't you have that reversed? Last I looked they were still producing the SP.

SP is 2 heads, VP is 4 heads and faster. Both solid printers.

It is little different in a print only machine. I have one Que setup for cut files and one for print only files- you bring your cut only file into the print only que (so you get no crop marks), rip it and pull it down into the plotter window at the bottom.

Lisa- it doesn't have anything to do with the plotter- it has to do with the way Flexi is connected. One station has a usb connection to the plotter and that station has Production Manager on it. All the other copies of Flexi send cut files to that PM. Flexi searches your LAN for the one copy...

I just ordered 4- 6 liter cases of ink... $2400. But that makes us a lot of money.

I have a 150w 3 x 4' laser coming now- I would love to know more about what these people are using for lasers (power wise). Also if they have a website. Thanks Gene

LAN is Local Area Networking- with the cabling (CAT5) you use to get the internet to the computers. Are your computers on a network? You can delete the PM on any computer you don't want it on. Or not loading it is an option when loading Flexi.

You should have production manager on the (one) computer hooked to the plotter- the other copy of Flexi sends the job to the PM that is hooked to the plotter. Flexi will search your LAN for the other PM.

They are not vertical- definitely horizontal. I have always used bulk systems right out of the box on new Roland printers. I could not find one for this printer and had to start out using 440 carts. Hugely more expensive and hassle. Triangle has just made this ink available in liters in the...

Anyone using one or know where to find one? I have RF640 which comes 2 x cmyk. Thanks Gene

Good info Vander- I have a 2 x cmyk Roland (RF).

I stopped buying combo printers- I cut 25 ft decals on my GX500 all the time with no problems. The combos are not good trackers. They are way cheaper also- VS640 list is $24k and RF640 is $17k- main difference I can see is the cutter (also configured slightly different).

Location: Big Brother Knows. Time to go underground I think... good luck with the Zombie Apocalypse.
