We are having the same black banding issue with our 540i and it is also light black printing. I have tried different profiles, new black cartridge, replaced dampers, tried different media, cleaned it over and over, etc. So now I am thinking that it is either the feed motor or the room tempture...

Save your money and don't purchase any software. Only buy the computers. Instead of Adobe Illustrator use Inkscape.org this is an open source vector drawing program. And download gimp.org this is an open source raster program like Photoshop. Yea they are not Adobe but they work the same and cost...

Its funny you bring this up. I too am considering a name change. Its tough because we have been using the same name for years but we have moved in a way different direction, so the old name just sounds old. I think having graphics in your name is good. It helps people know what you do. One of my...

Tried printing on some chrome mirror material today. It prints the ink perfect but after a few feet the material starts to come off the backer sheet and tunnel. If I turn the heat off will the ink cure and if so how long will I have to wait to in order to use my print? Or does anyone have a...

If you are concerned about speed get a takeup reel and also the Benz heater. This way you can print after hours. We have a 540i and print a lot of B&W. The Lk ink is great! We also have the extra heater and that is a must for faster drying of white or metallic inks. I like it because it also...

Does anyone know where to get the self healing mat these mounters use. I have seen them in person, it's a clear mat. I was looking for a small one 24x36 or 48x48

Ours was installed last Thurs. This is our first solvent (eco) so I cannot give any feedback on how it compares, But it's great! We had the additional Benes heater installed and are running Lt Black ink. Glad we went with this configuration because we print lots of gray scale and it now prints...

Besides printing we also sell hundreds of items on ebay and Amazon. Many products we sell had price increases in Aug/Sept. One manufacture we buy from did a price increase 2 weeks ago. So perhaps the Amazon sellers had a price increase? I was increasing prices today, yes right before the holiday...

I like your title! I have been in this business for 18 years and am about to expand into a few new products that I have little experience in how to sell or produce. Sometimes trial by fire is a good way to experience life. Although if money was no object then a bit of help and training would be...

I think you need to consider who your target market is going to be. This will help you decide what printer to purchase. If you are going to be selling to a market that wants cheep fast products vs. customers that prefer quality products. If it was me I would go with the OCE with a roll option...

Run the disk utility! I would first run the disk utility. More than likely you need to repair the disk permissions. If you have the install disk, put it in, restart the computer while holding the the C down. When it comes up, go to the top menu and choose utilities, Disk utility. Once it's...

Going to purchase a new PC to run Versaworks. After asking around people have said purchase the fastest processor you can afford. Is a computer with a Inter Core 17 3.9Ghz turbo chip going to be overkill or will I still be waiting and glad I purchase a machine this fast? Also do you need better...

Bought the same printer We just purchased the same printer and I was also questioning the inks setup too. If you go with the Metallic ink you really need to laminate because it will tarnish. I decided to go with the CMYKLmLcLbWt because we print a lot of gray scale stuff.

Thanks for the info. Been trying to decide on the Light Black vs the Metallic ink setup in our new printer. We do a fair amount of B&W style prints so I was wondering if it was really helpful.

Can anyone running the light black ink tell me there experience with this color. Will this help with B&W photos. Thanks Shawn

Today I went to my local dealer and checked out the Roland SOLJET Pro 4 XR-640 and the Epson SureColor S70670. We are able to print metallic silver ink onto Red Chrome Vinyl material. That looked really hot! The Metallic inks from both machines look really nice and bright but it is not mirror...

particleman; This really concerns me because that is exactly about the same amount of work I was going to be doing. Does anyone have any more info about the Roland VS-640 and it's W M inks?

Thanks for your all of your insight. I have also check out the Flaar in the past. Expensive but good info. At this point I plan on taking actual files to the dealers to get examples made. This would give me a better idea. I am also going to look at the Roland Soljet pro 4 xr-640 and the Epson...

Hi Everyone: I am in the market for a new printer. I have narrowed it down to the Mimaki CJV30-160 or the Roland VS-640. I know I would use the Metallic and White color inks so I was looking for any advice and knowledge about how these colors print. Does one printer do a better job than the...
