  2. Mpls area - anyone profile for $$$

    I have a VP Roland and i1 and use Triangle inx- I have profiled but it is a long procedure and I do not have the time to spend on it. I use Versa works as a rip and also have Wasatch that I do not at this time. I am looking to step up to an XC540 and may go back to Wasatch at that time- so...
  3. Estimate & other pricing software

    Ditto- we use the QBs module- works with a glitch once in a while.
  4. MBX vinyl Zapper- new rubber wheels

    I just bought 5 wheels from Grimco which are a different color and we went thru 3 on one cargo van where we normally get a van to each wheel. This is the twelfth identical van we have done- same guy on the same Vinyl Zapper. I called the mfgr and the old ones were made in Taiwan and the new...
  5. Anyone know how fast a VP540 prints?

    OK- good info here. The situation here is I have a 2.5 year old VP540 that we work to death and need more production. I have looked for a VP300 to suppliment it (thinking the color management would be easier) but there are not many of them and I can't find a nice one. So now the one brain...
  6. Anyone know how fast a VP540 prints?

    I am looking at at an XC540 which prints at 150sf per hour at 720x720 and I can't find what the Roland claimed for the VP540 at that (or any other) rez. Wondering if anyone has that info. Thanks Gene
  7. RAPTURE update

    You should've seen the look of disappointment on my face when he wasn't shipped off on Saturday
  8. Buying a take-up roll secondhand at a 30% discount

    Not sure how well that will work for you on print and cut jobs- they work great on long print jobs of course
  9. V.I.R race track pictures saturday may 14th

    I actually used to run into Paul Newman in the pits now and then- he would always smile and nod- striking blue eyes. When the herd of 7,8 or 9 liter CanAm cars hit the first turn after a one mile straight a way the ground would shake- still gives me shivers.
  10. V.I.R race track pictures saturday may 14th

    Me three- I grew up less than an hour from Brainard International Raceway (then Donneybrook) during the Can-Am and pony car and sport prototype wars. I have thousands of slides of the unlimited Can-am and Trans-am cars- in the rain we would station at the end of the one mile straight- quite...

    I know that Flexi 7.6 has problems with gradients- has that been fixed in later versions? Thanks Gene

  14. Laminating by hand

    Thank you, Bob. I will give that a try.
  15. Core Plugs!!!!!!

    I have never used these for my SP or VP rolands and never in 15 years for my two Summa friction cutters. No tracking problems- less hassle.
  16. Laminating by hand

    There are a *lot* of BS vids- can anyone post a link to what Bob is talking about- tried numerous search terms and watched as many likely vids as I could stand. We use and like the BS BTW- just always looking for better ways to do anything. Thanks Gene
  17. Carrier sheet

    You can clean the adhesive on the film for a Speedpress with Rapid-tac to make it sticky again- might try that.
  18. Font ID please

    Thank you sir- I had long since recreated it. Gene
  19. any Summa d-140 with opus users in here?

    OK- I couldn't find a current Summa catalog so I went to their website. They now offer OPOS-X and OPOS-CAM (which they call 4th generation)- One of mine is 15 years old and the newer one is probably 9- both with what I imagine is the original OPOS which is not 'strong' enough see thru the...
  20. any Summa d-140 with opus users in here?

    I have a T750 pro with the older style OPOS- are you people talking about the newer OPOS? Pretty sure the S-class machines have this. I have to mask my registration marks and slice off the laminate before the OPOS will detect the mark. Thanks Gene
