Have you tried cleaning the encoder strip
Use rubbing alcohol and your cleaning swabs to clean the encoder strip, If this is dirty, it will feed information wrong to the print.
Insignia Cloth
I was also going to suggest insignia cloth..I used that on an awning 7 years ago and it still looks great. Any form of sticker adhesive will not work; don't do it! I freelance with an awning company and paint there awnings. The only other way to work with graphics on material is...
Already did this..
Thanks for your response, it all makes since with what you said, I was going to have a Second print head installed but found this issue of ink on the cable, fixed it and it worked great. 4 months later Whiich is current.... It is doing the same thing without tampering with...
I have a brand new black print head ~VP540i Roland~installed 8 months ago- but after 2 months; it was acting out with a lot of misfires. I called a tech out and he ordered a new connection cable...(I don't know what its called but the picture is attached!) It had black ink on one end (see...
Install question: I normally don't touch perforated vinyl jobs but I'm printing one up right now for install. This is a storefront window- Not laminating but using frog juice. What is the best technique to install? Do I use a paper carrier or do not use a carrier at all? Will it stretch to...
There is a printer who wants me to laminate his large format digital prints with me. I told him to bring in the prints and buy the roll of laminate and I'll finish it off with my laminator. How much per sq ft is normal to propose for pricing? What is industry standard for this- he is a...
It happened to me
Same thing happend to me: I had a deposit and with that I went forward and did design and purchased 12ft polycarbonate. They told me that they have someone to do it cheaper after I bought this! I stood there untill they wrote me a check for everything! Jerks- I did not apply...
I have a customer who has cancer and really wants to see his old 40's car with wood trim along the panels, To get this to him before he passes- he wants me to wrap the bottom panels. He wants Blonde Oak; I can't find a good "panel" of the design to print. I am just finding pieces that have to be...
I need a little help for install please;
How do I attach the trim cap/acrylic face to an existing sign face (polycarbonate or acrylic) without compromising the illuminated look? Does acrylic glue weld to the back part of the trim cap?
Thank you for your help!

I have a Roland vp540i and ran a calibration test and noticed a zipper like appearance threw the dot pattern. Running a cleaning test print, noticed misses/ angled firing on the black. Did a maintenance cleaning and also a power clean.... Test in black misses in random places every time...
Response to print
I kept getting really weird problems with my printer and no one could figure it out!!
I cleaned the clear strip the whole length of the printer with my cleaning swab and rubbing alcohol. (not cleaning solution)
I had a Roland tech come out and he put into...
I have a question about perhaps a different install method for my sign install tomorrow morning.
I have 1/2 MDO 3'h x 6'w and plan to install on wood post flush to each side of the sign. Due to the design of the sign, "scroll style" The edge allows only 1 ft of sign to install to the post...
Invisible hardware
I use this on all my signs that are mounted with screws, they have caps that cover screw heads at ace hardware. They are black, white or gray and are usually kept in the hardware drawers. If you can't find them there, grainger should have something that would work
All of a sudden- The second round of the same signs printing; I noticed a banding. Ran a test print and there was a perfect gap between the colors (calberation issue)
All the Bi directional test came back different everytime! WTF!
I cleaned encoder strip, Now the Bi-directional seems ok...
