1. I think I paid about $5k for mine about 3 years ago. It came from a refurbisher and has been pretty flawless since I got it. Not sure where the market is these days on them. 2. Unless you are doing a LOT of printing, normally OEM ink is the way to go. I stick with OEM inks because I only...

I feel your pain but a tech is a tech sometimes. I have a couple of Rolands. One I have had for over 12 years and I bought it used (SP-300V). A year or two after I got it I had some problem (can't even remember the issue now). Had a tech come out and their response was "lets replace part...

I second Eric at Vector Doctor. Been using him for years. But if I have a decent image and have some time on my hand for clean up, I have been using Graphic Tracer for several years. It seems to do a better job than Flexi and some of the other converters I have used. It too has a built in...

If you make your artboard a color besides white, does it show you the white parts you need being white or are they clear? I make it a habit of making my artboard green temporarily just so I can see what is white in the file and what is clear.

How long has the machine sat since it last did a print? I would see if you can pull ink through the lines with a syringe to help prime the system. Are you able to see ink in the lines above the head if you take the cover off?

Looks great! For the hair issue, I use a "Swiffer duster" to minimize particles that get under the laminate. My first print machine was a SP-300v that I bought over 12 years ago (used) and it is still going strong today. I supplemented it with a VS-300i a few years ago. These old Rolands are...

Yes, a password manager it's where it's at. I've been using one for many years. I recommend LastPass but there are many out there. Want it to suggest a password?...it can do that with whatever the password requirements are. Need it to remember your credit card or address so you don't have to...

Curious, what version are you running? I never had this problem until 19/Cloud and just wondering if it has been fixed in the new version or still an issue. I refuse to update due to my colors being perfect now. If a gradient is giving me a hard time in a file, I normally create a rectangle...

Ahhh....It appears when I was looking, I was checking all the sizes/options that were not in stock. I see they do have a few sizes in stock if you play around with the options. Maybe I'll get some samples to see how they compare. Thanks for responding and clarifying.

Ummm...that is who I purchase it through and when you try to select the options, it states that it has been discontinued. They have been out of stock for months but their site would let you order it. Then they would always cancel the order. They finally changed their site to say it is...

Both look like possible alternatives but hard to find many pictures. To top it off, hard to find suppliers in the U.S. for them and/or they are out of stock. Thanks for the information though.

So I have been offering the silver metallic laminate from Mactac for years but it appears they no longer make it. Anyone know of a close alternative?

Now before everyone starts telling me how RGB and CMYK blacks are different and how I should just start using CMYK black since it prints correct in my case; that is not what I'm after. Let me explain. I have a custom profile for my VS-300i that has been printing colors perfectly (including RGB...

Not sure if this is your problem, but I remember many years ago my toolbars were missing, looked weird or did odd things. The issue was some how File/Workspace got changed from Default to some other software option. Changing it back made me feel at home again. If you have any backups saved...

We used USPS exclusively for 20 years since most of our packages are small and light, which made the most economic sense. But a few years ago (especially once Covid hit) their delivery times and excuses were out of control. Priority Mail packages would regularly take 2+ weeks to get delived...

Etsy, eBay and Amazon all seem like "work a lot more for a lot less money" in my opinion. I still have a few listings on there but most sellers sell similar (or the same) thing for pennies on the dollar for what I sell things for. Too many kids with Cricuts on there that think selling a $1...

That is about as close as you can get. Thanks. And yes, I tell customers all the time that registration numbers should be a block style font but they insist they want it to be something more fancy.

Not looking for the actual logo but have customers request that they want a similar font used for their registration numbers. Anyone have a close match for something like this?

Yeah, the black part of the head always seems to go first due to head strikes and the black contaminates more easily due to how the ink is made. It also looks like you could use a feed calibration (some others possibly too) since your two passes are very close together. You should see equal...

It's Flexisign.
