Thanks! It did help. You can still notice it but it definitely masked it a bit like you said.

Thanks Scott, you have been very helpful, I will try a manual cleaning and gently swabbing. I contacted another supplier of mine (Wensco) and they have a tech that I contacted yesterday and he has been helpful as well. He gave me some additional parts to replace and things to try. I will PM you...

The Blues have always been this bad, my production crew has dealt with it up to this point. We also have a Roland Pro-4 but the scan motor is failing and I'm in the middle of replacing. So long story short, this "blue" issue is now my main focus as I have a partial wrap to print today and 80% of...

Ok here are several test prints as well as the CMYK test I did through versaworks. M-Y-K look nice and solid but you can see C has the lines through it. I hope this helps in your diagnosis. I you need anything else just let me know. Thanks again!

Hi Scott, Thanks for the response. We are printing in Flexi Sign but I did test a print in versaworks and the same issue occurs. We've tried various profiles and print modes as well. I will try your recommendations and let you know what I come up with. Yes the image is rotated in the...

What do you think could be causing these lines and how can we fix them? Roland Versa Express RF 640 3 years old happens on all media mostly in blue and green colors Has happened since I received the printer, haven't been able to pinpoint it and have dealt with it Company that sold us the...

Lately we're doing a lot more digital print than cut vinyl and just to keep things simple and avoid taking rolls off and on of both laminate and vinyl, we stick to mostly Avery 2105 and 1360 for the laminate. We'll use cast 1105 for complex wraps and 3M and avery cast color change for color...

It looks like it was the firmware. Thanks for the suggestions and solutions!!!

Our Roland RF Versa-express 640 is running through a cleaning cycle before every print. This recently started happening and we're going through a lot of ink. Is there something we can do to fix this? Has anyone else had this happen?

Thanks everyone I managed to find someone close by that can do them but I really appreciate the offers.

Is there a merchant member or any other source for clear labels, contour cut to a custom shape, white ink and smaller quantities 20 to 50 ea 2 sizes? I've been cutting decals out of white vinyl. Sizes are approx 4" x 4" and 8" x 8". They are taking approx. 15 min per decal to weed and tape, so...

That time of the year. They're on almost every billboard we do right now. We keep a can or 2 of spray in the truck all the time. Sucks when they get under the masking tape or worse, under the laminate.

I'm currently trying to work out a deal with the supplier to see if we can get a little better pricing for this particular customer for future orders. They do order a lot and hopefully it will leave more room for me to make a better profit because I do agree, there are a lot of risks involved...

The grandson is taking care of most orders and overseeing most of the work. The grandfather just adds his 2 cents when he needs to.

All very good points thanks! They are 50% of our business. The owner is over 90 yrs old and very old school mentality. His Grandson is in charge of orders most of the time. He actually called me while I was pricing this order out for his grandfather and bit my head off for not placing the order...

I usually markup 30% and never hear a thing but every so often on larger orders over 10,000, particularly on this last order, the owner steps in and wants to know what they are going to cost. I mark up 30% and he says I'm way out of line with my pricing and they're going to start using someone...

My biggest customer, by far, orders pan formed translucent faces from us. We don't make them, we measure, layout the design and a local supplier/fabricator makes them and my customer picks them up from the supplier directly. So there's not a lot of work on our part. Is a 10% markup on something...

Does anyone know what font the "farmhouse" is?

I'd like to see more products geared more toward the 1 person production department. Rolls are heavy, so it would be nice to have a multi roll "feeder" behind each printer so you don't have to constantly change out media.

I just turned 40. 18 yrs in the sign industry (10 yrs on my own this year) Since I started out on my own, I quickly realized that I would get passed up if I didn't just focus on me and what I could do to make things more efficient and take advantage of all of the various new tools, gadgets and...
