I'm not sure what it is, but lately I almost dread coming to work now. I own the shop, my wife also works with me and does 90% of the invoices and pays the bills plus helps with weeding and sticking small sign jobs. We hired her nephew to help out some but I really don't have the time to train...
I have a VS640 and use 54" vinyl because of it being the most common size. The 64 will allow you to do up to 5' banners where as something like a vs300 would limit you to about a 28".
Don't think it's the media, it does it on 3M IJ35, Avery 1105 and banner material. I just cleaned the encoder strip a few months ago when I was having trouble with it stopping during the middle of a job. Maybe it's the sensor but that sounds expensive and if it don't fix it...money down the drain.
I have a Roland VS 640 and every time I print large areas of blue (any shade) I get light streaks in it. (See attached photo) It's not like banding and it's not consistent throughout the print. Sometimes it starts out ok but then starts getting worse half way thru and sometimes gets better by...

Well if a hammer doesn't fix it...get a BIGGER hammer!
So far so good. Haven't printed any one job over 7' long yet but have printed a lot of smaller jobs back to back and it's worked great. So it seems cleaning the encoder and re-setting the limits has done the trick. I hope this will help...
Thanks for all the replies.
I have talked to someone at Roland tech support & he had me install the lastest firmware for the printer but that did not fix the problem. I also had the local Roland trained tech guy here but didn't seem he really knew enough or at least not much experience...Cost me...
Update on issue: Yesterday I printed a small job (only about 3 linear feet) and it finished with no problem. Started printing the same file only larger and it printed about 12" and stopped. Out of frustration lightly slapped the right side of the printer and the print head started again. It came...
