Versaworks can really limit a lot of the settings on your printer and Roland really tries to lock people into their more expensive medias & ink with it. Things that are simple in ColorRip (Like print/laminate/cut) become more difficult in versaworks.
If you have no other Rip to compare with...
A lot of the dealers are pushing Flexi with the printers as the supplied Rip that comes with the Versacamm (Versaworks) is a poor Rip at best. Im sure they are making a few more dollars as well.
What size versacamm are you looking for? If its the smaller 30", I have one up for sale.. :)...
Its Ok to leave the speed at Max, 11ips is already pretty slow as it is. Generally my blade pressure is around 120-130 depending on how new the blade is. Personally I would not be to concerned about blade costs as blades can be picked up from "Clean cut blades" for 11 or 12 dollars and they...
Your bi-directional adjustment is most likely out of alignment. Adjust bi-directional and then re-print the media feed calibration and it will most likely look correct.
If that is not the problem make sure all of your nozzles are firing by using the test print button on the front panel.
I only use reverse wound banner material. Reverse wound vinyl doesnt work well on a print and cut machine as it can cause your prints to get stuck together when pushing the material back through for cutting.
Honestly that looks like a media problem to me. I would pick up a roll of Oracal 3651 and I bet that will solve your problem. Some or Rolands media is known to give inconsistant results.
PS, normally banding caused by the printer or profile is very consistant, media problems are usually all...
Can you post some photos of what your prints look like? I may be able to tell the problem by looking at the prints. Also post the type of media its printed on as well as the profile used and ink type.
Tim,
Its generally not a good idea to do a powerful cleaning unless you have to. There is a plastic baggy type of blatter inside the head that can burst under to many powerful cleanings. Chances are it will not burst, but its just not a good idea to do a powerful cleaning unless you have...
Generally banding is going to be related to our profile/media combination or your media feed calibration.
If your using a known profile media combination that works I would adjust the media feed calibration.
The LC-100K just looks like a small label printer. I can't even find any where that sells the supplies for the thing. Im betting that ribons and vinyl for that thing are quite expensive and probably are not that durable. I personally wouldnt waste $500 on that machine.
Honestly your best bet...
Its a great machine, you can see the maintenance you need to do by clicking the below link:

OEM inks run about 30 cents a sq foot.
First off I would ditch the Avery reflective and go for some 3M 680 series vinyl. It prints much better and easier.
As for the Avery, give me a call at 832-515-6458 and Ill see if I can hook you up with a profile that will work.
