  1. VS 640 stops printing

    Thanks, I'll mention that to the tech guy. That sounds less expensive than a main board.
  2. VS 640 stops printing

    I had the local sign supply tech guy come out to check out the printer and it finally stopped printing on a job while he was here. He hooked the new cat5 cable directly from the computer to the printer and it printed the next 2 days with no problems. I came in on Monday and the first job (which...
  3. VS 640 stops printing

    I have noticed that 3-5 passes of the print head before it stops printing, it starts pausing when it returns to the control panel side of the printer. Don't know if this is of any help to diagnose the problem.
  4. VS 640 stops printing

    I did update the firmware on the printer yesterday and printed a file that had been stopping half way through with success. But this morning had the same problem again. I'm going to get rid of my malware & cut off firewall/antivirus and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.
  5. VS 640 stops printing

    I just remembered aweek or two ago it stopped and said on the LCD display something like "MOTOR ERROR...TURN POWER OFF". Maybe this has something to do with it???
  6. VS 640 stops printing

    I have a VS-640 and after printing for a few minutes into a job it just stops printing. It doesn't beep or anything, it just stops. The LCD display on the printer says "NOW PROCESSING" and Versaworks shows "printing" as the status. After sitting for 10 minutes or so, it beeps and show "INTERNAL...
  7. Video game trailer wrap

    Thanks for the advise. I really didn't want to do this job anyways due to the customer not being able to provide art work or any proof of rights to use such logos or characters.
  8. Video game trailer wrap

    I have a customer that is starting a video game trailer business and wants the trailer wrapped with images of popular game characters and logos. Just wondering what the deal is with copy wrights on something like this. I've seen pictures online of similar trailers with huge images of Mario...

  12. Contour cutting poly metal

    I would use a jig saw for 1-2 signs, but if there are 3 or more I would sub out to someone with a CNC also. If I have 2 same size, same shape signs, I clamp 2 pieces together and cut them at the same time.
  13. Take-up reel and cure time

    Most jobs we do that require using the take up reel are removed after printing and laid out on our work table to out gas over night. If we have several jobs printed we stand them up wrapped around the core vertical and make sure they are loosely wrapped so that they can still out gas.
  14. Laminator recommendations?

    I bought a US TECH AK-600 65" cold laminator and haven't had any problems with it. I believe right now you can get one for $2300 delivered. They also have a heat assist 65" laminator for $4900.
  15. 18" by 9" Car Door Magnets

    I do 3 magnets on occasion, one for each side door & one for the tailgate or back door of a work van. We started offering a 12"x18" set for $60 & of course do 12"x24" sets for $75. If the customer wants a photo or logo that needs any work the price go's up. Anything smaller than 12"x18" is...
  16. VS640 black not solid

    I'm not very familiar with the profiles or profile center. I do know that it is printing better on the matte 3M IJ35c that I use a lot of than it is the glossy Avery 1005 wrap vinyl. I have gotten it to print a solid black by overprint to 2, but I know it using a lot more ink than it should have...
  17. VS640 black not solid

    Just remembered we did empty one of the black cartridges today and installed a new while printing a banner. But everything finished up good on the banners. After a few hours we changed the material out and started printing the Avery 1005, that's when I noticed the speckled black. Any chance...

    I also changed vinyl after the banding and it's the same way.
