  1. Sp540v print issues.

    How old is your machine? I have a 7 year old SP540V that started doing the same thing, I finally solved it by replacing the O-rings in the ink lines.
  2. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Your own damn fault for taking the money on a product that you knew was improper. I know that not everyone can turn down a job in this economy, but you also don't have to tell the customer there is a cheaper way to do things. Stand up for yourself or you might find yourself standing up before a...
  3. Question regarding prints for a photographer

    See if the photographer can provide the files as tif instead of jpg, also find out what colorspace he is using, "Adobe Rgb", sRgb, etc... But if the photographer can't take a good picture to start with, you're always going to have issues.
  4. Roland Sp 540v question Please Help!!!

    So it was a problem with the file output from Corel?
  5. New Print head adjustment

    Probably not what you want to hear, but head replacement and adjustment is something I have always paid for a technician to do. I'll do pretty much anything else to my Rolands, heads are just to valuable for me to screw something up.
  6. XC-540 & Versaworks Quit Printing When I Download Anything

    Another good reason not to have your RIP computer on the internet.
  7. Wrap job

    At only 4995 for the trailer, I think you are leaving money on the table. But if thats' your local market, then oh well. If I can get 8k for the trailer, why can' everyone else?
  8. Buying a printer, are these heads recoverable?

    Replace the capping station sponges and the reservoirs. Medium clean a couple times and test print. If that doesn't work then try drawing ink with a syringe. Test print again. If that doesn't help, get some cleaning carts and do a purge and pump up. Test print again. If all that does not work...
  9. Question for the electricians

    Told you it has been a long time since high school, but yes, the cord would mitigate the spike. It is a 20 amp circuit. Going to look at the breaker itself next. Thanks for the help!
  10. Question for the electricians

    Been having an interesting issue with electric in the shop. I am running a shop vac and a panel saw on the same circuit. Nothing else on the circuit. Turn on shop vac, then saw, poof! circuit breaker blows. Replaced the outlets, they were very old, everything worked fine for 2 weeks. Today...
  11. And we're ashamed to charge $50.00 for a design

    Part of the price these agencies charge is how much pain they have to deal with in a large corporation. It is the definition of design by committee when you are dealing with them.
  12. Finally! (didnt have to purchase any media)

    Sometimes its kind of nice when you get a phone call at 4pm and they need 20 4'x8' banners by 8 am, and you can say no problem, I have the material in stock! Don't forget the rush fee in that situation though.
  13. Retailers Ready To Force Consumers To Pay ‘Swipe Fee’ For Using Plastic

    I had a customer that was using a 5% cash back reward card. In 6 months that cost me $1300 dollars. That customer now writes me checks only.
  14. Naming and shaming

    Screw it! I'm tired of getting the run-around and being blown off. I have been using Triangle bulk inks since 2006. I have been very happy with them for all of that time an I have wholeheartedly recommended their bulk inks to anyone that has posted here asking about them. Check my history...
  15. captop issues

    Looks like the capping station is out of alignment. From your diagram, that would explain needing to siphon inks. Ask the tech how many shots the black printhead has, if more than 6 billion, then yes, probably need a new one.
  16. Does anyone Remember Royal Banner?

    Used to order stuff from Laura at Royal Banner in Denver, she was the greatest. Then they became Sign Supply USA, and I had to order from Dallas, then they became Proveer. Proveer closed the Dallas office, and they had the best banner sewing people in Texas IMHO. Grimco bought Proveer? Royal...
  17. My Friday has started out...well...you tell me

    Going to a barbecue and turkey shoot tomorrow. Can't wait to get drunk, eat ribs, and shoot guns.
  18. Opinion on Color from Signs365

    Biggest problem I encounter is that many people don't even know there is a thing called color management. I've always had good results from signs365.
  19. How do you price contour cutting?

    I wait to see the highest price posted here then I charge more.
  20. Mutoh Maintenance Manual

    I would appreciate the manual for a VJ1604 as well. mark@quicksignsoftexas.com I have acquired one of these printers after it had sat for a while, can't seem to get the yellow channel back, so I need to figure out how to get at the lines for some syringe action.
