  6. Discussion Quoting per running metre or square metre

    If a roll of vinyl (45m x 1370mm) costs me $100 it makes my cost (excluding overheads and other expenses) $2.2 per running metre. Now what if a client orders a single vinyl print of 2m x 700mm? I would usually just multiply 2 * 0.7 * $2.2 to find the cost. Would that not be a correct way of...
  7. Discussion Quoting per running metre or square metre

    To help me simplify the quotation process I have worked out the cost per square metre of chromadek and just marked that up but I have been wondering is this method of calculation correct or should I work with a running metre instead? Sorry to those using the imperial system

  9. Question Random magenta on all my prints

    It has started showing up in the test prints too. The technician tried 2 new ribbon cables to the magenta and I also swapped the heads around but the issue persists. I've also recently been getting 0007 errors but when I turn the printer off and on it goes away. The technician tried a new...
  10. Question Random magenta on all my prints

    Roland VP540
  11. Question Random magenta on all my prints

    It started off with a few minor pink spots and then it got a bit more and now it basically cover 90% of a print which basically means I cannot print anymore until it is resolved. The technician replaced the head cables and it still continued so he suggests that it is probably the head that...
  12. Need Help Ink smudging

    Any ideas what causes the ink on a vinyl print to smudge when using the squeegee? I doubt that its too much force with the squeegee as it did not happen before? Could it be the material, ink or printer heater settings or something else?
  13. VP-540 Magenta "text print" blocks all over the place

    The issue returned two days later so i bought a new encoder strip (i think that was overdue, had this one for 5 years) and a new encoder sensor and the problem is still there :(
  14. VP-540 Magenta "text print" blocks all over the place

    So i cleaned the encoder and also took out the ribbon cables to the magenta heads, blew the slots for dust and re-inserted them and now its printing 100%. Lets hope it stays that way will keep everyone posted should anything change.
  15. VP-540 Magenta "text print" blocks all over the place

    I'll try the encoder and then the ribbon cable to the head. We have had encoder issues previously
  16. VP-540 Magenta "text print" blocks all over the place

    I get these random magenta marks on most of my prints and they seem to be getting worst. They look like a long line of a test print (i.e. fine magenta lines). Its happening from two different computers so i'm sure its not software related. Anyone else experience this or know what could be...
  17. Cookie stencil material

    Thanks thats helpful
  18. Cookie stencil material

    Using a Roland vp540, how can I cut a cookie stencil? The machine can cut vinyl but I'm not sure how much thicker it can cut. I cant use vinyl because it will stretch and distort the cutout so I was thinking something thicker but something that the 45 or 60-degree blade can cut?
  19. How high can I install an aluminium sign?

    I need to install a 3m x 3m aluminum frame with stretched PVC about 6m high. I intend using coach screws to bolt them to the wall. Would there be any negatives to this approach as someone mentioned that aluminium should not be installed that high?
