Holy fantastic proof Artbot!

The Fletcher will not cut dibond- it is a good unit but not worth more than $400-500.

Check my setup in the second post on the thread that 2B posted. I had it without a motor for months- set a timer every 10 min or so and manually wind it up. The time will depend on the speed of your printer and how far it is off the floor. It is made from a closet rod and pvc plumbing fittings-...

And... there is a difference between stencils and paint masks, BTW.

You, Sir, are a very optimistic person. I like that. Good luck. Gene

Not sure- but my bar does :loveya:

And Thursday is looking a lot like Happy Crash day. :thumb:

Do our resident Roland DGA peeps have any comment? Gene

I have a VP540- 5 years old and going strong and a GX500- which I also love- and cut a lot of 14-18 foot long logos after printing. It drives me crazy to see it tracking back and forth and back and forth instead of cutting a section and then moving to the next. Not only is it not efficient...

I use a program named 'Magical Thinking' (download for free at magicalthinking.com)- seems to be popular with certain politicians as well. Gene

I go somewhere green for Xmas- my neighbor covers her lawn with huge blow-ups and crap. I throw up in my mouth every time I go home.

Have you tried the Roland spot colors? We get pretty good oranges that way.

You do realize that it is the 'good' laminators that have the crowned rollers, right?

Or they are cheap here if you need a few- stretcherbarwarehouse.com

Vinylman has it right. I believe that the roller(s) are crowned- so it it is tighter in the middle than the outsides that may be it. I have had 2 RS- and had to adj both of them. Once adjusted they are as good as anything... I believe. Gene

Yes there is a setting in VW you need to change- I forget which one but check the preferences > multiple printer support> number of concurrent processes- mine sez 4. I can't find the email I got on the issue right now- call support if that is not it.

I run it at 80% power (higher warps the vinyl sheets and make for hard laminating) and the vinyl goes directly onto a spindle over a table leading into the laminator and then to a GX500 cutter. I am into production- the core with the printed vinyl slips off the spindle by lifting it a couple...

I have been using this homebrew for 3 years I think with nothing but a slip action to maintain the slack. I had plans to build either a elect eye or mechanical means to turn it off and on but it was not necessary and I moved on. It and the IR heater are triggered by a motion detector which...

User since 1997- it has provided a nice IRA, paid off my 2 buildings in 10 years and I love it. It is up to you to make it work for you. I have btw worked with Gerber, Adobe and the others on the way. Flexi rocks.

Thanks Jack- that is an amazing resource. Gene
