  1. 3m perfect match red...what a f#@kn joke!

    You'd have a better chance coming closer to Oracal's red by bringing the Oracal colros into Flexi and printing it lol Sorry that happened.. To me, sometimes the whole 3M thing reminds me of the Z.Cavaricci and IOU Clothing days..where people just bought the name but never got the true quality...
  2. 20" Cold Laminator??

    "Inexpensive small laminator that does it all"...didnt this all lead us to the era of the daige?
  3. service mode protected xc540

    That means the code to get into Service Mode isnt being entered in proper sequence..and a sign you shouldnt be doing it and call your dealer lol
  4. Xc 540/magnets?

    Magnet is not a very porous substrate. The ink doesnt adhere as well as it normally would to vinyl. I usually recommend to my customers to just print on the vinyl and mount it to the magnet. It will always look much better than printing to magnet directly. Unless you are using the UV printer...
  5. sp540v head and color help

    Sorry, Havent seen this post till now. Have you checked to make sure the heads are capped properly? You probably also want to check for clogging in the capping station. This is most likely going to be the issue. You can send the head over to the left and pour some cleaning solution in the...
  6. VP540 - **HELP** Magenta marks in print

    I agree with Inkjet Auction. It may have something to do with cables and the board. I've seen some crazy results occur when cables are loose. I would check the cables first. Nowadays, with everyone trying to do their own service work, we've seen people go in and replace main parts but knock...
  7. Competition is getting fierce here in NJ....

    I bet it's one of those machines that I used to see at USSC..the one that holds the magic markers in the tool carriage and draws the signs out..I thought they were paper weights nowadays
  8. 3M increasing their pricing

    Dont worry..with all the money everyone saves using 3rd party inks they wont even feel the pinch! LOL (insert sarcasm here) I dont get it..if a $69.99 ink cartridge yields a cost of about 20 cents psf on standard print mode..and there are people paying $40 per cartridge in 3rd party..how come...
  9. Help installing a new printer!

    I have to ask..where and who did you buy this "New" printer from. There had to be some sort of instruction. I can see if people had issues getting this stuff with used machines but NEW?!?!
  10. No W-Pass on VS-640?

    What if you enjoy shaking the cartridges..I can shake my cartridges all I want!
  11. XC-540 periodic stopping

    Could be a bunch of things slowing that thing down to a crawl or pausing it. Here are some things to look for, some may seem silly but they do affect the printer so it's worth it to check. -Do you have a screen saver or does your computer go into sleep mode? This will interrupt the...
  12. sp300-v

    Definitley looks like a board was fried along somewhere. Do you have it on a battery backup or any kind of surge protection device? If the printer was plugged in when it happened then I'm pretty sure that's the case. if it's under warranty or a service contract you should be able to get this...
  13. sp300v issue

    Before this gets any worse, I would suggest the following A) getting the room up to room temperature at all times and perform routine Environmental Match Checks on the machine until you do so B) Contact InkJetAuction on here and see if you get some advice and hook up with either him or...
  14. Versworks print and cut

    If you dont trust your printer to do print and cut, you may also want to consider investing in a separate vinyl cutter. That way you can just print with registration marks all night long and cut them on a separate machine at your leisure. In addtion, on some models you can use the perf...
  15. Need help with Roland Cutting decals

    It may not be just the margin marks, there could be something else going on like a break in the line as well or the file isnt set up properly. To test this, try and draw an actual box around the circle and then send that. That way the margin wont be a factor at all. See if it still misses.
  16. scan motor error

    Another thing to consider is the media you are using. I had a customer get these errors over and over and turns out he was printing on a 300ft roll of banner with little or no slack let off the roll. The SP-300V is not strong enough to pull that through thus the motor errors
  17. Green blacks and blotchy prints on brand new VS-540???

    I would get your service tech/dealer out there ASAP. Yes it may be in the profile and for the time being it may not exactly look like a cross contamination in the lines, but that doesnt mean the issue cant get progressiveley worse. You have a 2 year warranty for a reason, I would take advantage...
  18. Random VersaWorks lockup?

    The end users are not alone. I too have had this issue on my copy of Versaworks. I can say that I deleted the version I had on there and did a totally fresh install. Still does it occassionally but nowhere near as much as it may have in the past. Mine will more so happen when I have multiple...
  19. Seal Laminator

    Amen to that one..I used to sit and slice that paper off every damn time!
  20. roland versa works

    I've always used PrePress U.S. but recently switched to using Sign & Display and I agree, the color is much more prominent. I'd go that route for the best result. It does use a slight amount more in the ink but if you're charging appropriately you wont even feel it.
