  1. question. anyone that designs in photoshop can you help me out

    Player told you the answer twice. Do not use cmyk, use rgb color space with adobe 1998 profile. for black use r0, g0, b0 If you must use cmyk use c25, m25, y25, k100 If that is not black enough just increase the cmy till you are happy.

  3. Inexpensive Plotter Paper

    We used to use 20lb translucent bond paper in the printer when I worked in engineering. The translucent paper allows them to make blue prints not just photo copies. Its not as durable as vellum but much cheaper.
  4. Cutting problem that nobody seems to have....

    Ya when the material hits the ground hard it pushes the material or doesn't push the material . so it hits the ground and cannot move the material forward as much as it should. ends up short, the more it happens the farther off it gets. One thing we hated about cutting with the roland we had to...
  5. Flexi 8.6 / Roland 300SP and Contour Cutting

    Yes you are correct in the way the summa functions compared to the roland. On the summa you are telling the machine where the first mark is. On the roland the Product manager tells the printer where the first mark is.
  6. Flexi 8.6 / Roland 300SP and Contour Cutting

    Also do not poll the printer for the media size after removing and laminating the vinyl and replacing back into the printer.
  7. Flexi 8.6 / Roland 300SP and Contour Cutting

    In the cutting tab in Product Manager do you have it set to hybrid job or separate jobs. I usually use the separate job setting. Also try to avoid centering on the media instead use x and y position of 1". This way you can put those values into the position and resend the cut if you have to.
  8. Best thing to use for removing vinyl adhesive glue.

    "pb" blaster or wd-40 penetrating oil then clean real good
  9. Getting Versa Works to print like Flexi

    Yes I have had that problem, it was when using pantone spot colors. The convert spot colors was checked in the file format tab in versaworks. I have the profile for the media for both flexi and versaworks so after that I got a pretty close match.
  10. FC8600 Calibration

    Yes we were refunded most of our money from our dealer, (we paid for a protection strip and new blade). They resold it to some one else. That was after the tech came out and saw it not working and replaced the pick up eye. That did nothing to help it kept doing the same thing. sometimes it would...
  11. FC8600 Calibration

    S-140D Was scary buying after all the trouble we had with the graphtec, but summa guaranteed that it would find the contour cut marks and it did! I fought with the graphtec for almost 2 monthes before we sent it back to Garston and bought the summa from Drew. Sometimes the graphtec would work...
  12. FC8600 Calibration

    We had the same problem here is how we fixed it :)!!!!!
  13. Versaworks stopped recognizing cutlines

    Sorry we do have a print and cut machine so my versaworks may be a little different. Although I don't use the roland to cut, just print. We cut with a summa so we don't use versaworks very much only on banners and posters.
  14. Versaworks stopped recognizing cutlines

    I don't know what all these bugs are that you are referring to but anyway ... maybe you should make sure that you have print and cut selected and not print only on the cut controls tab and the crop marks box checked on the mark tab.
  15. print on a vs640 cut on a sp540I

    It should work, dont center on media, make sure when you send the cut that it has the same x and y position as in the print file.
  16. print on a vs640 cut on a sp540I

    What software are you using?
  17. photoshop eye candy problem

    Save the image as it is, then try changing the resolution of the image to half of what you have and try again. I have that problem when the images are very large, high res.
  18. Hello new member with an old roland problem

    Nice lamps! Note the price, the ones at the local hardware store are a fraction of the price but you get what you pay for. Please let us know if you notice the difference in your shop.
  19. Hello new member with an old roland problem

    Alot has to do with the lamps you are using in the fluorescent fixture, particularly the color of the lamp and what is overlooked most is the CRI, color rendering index of the lamp. A lamp with a part number F32T8/741 has worse color rendering than lamp F32T8/841both are the same color, 4100k...
  20. Trying to match a grey and still keep a vivid red... please help

    Try going to color settings, then click rendering intent tab, then go to the pure hue, the select black and white. This is in the product manager output settings. It can mess with other colors but can make nice greys.
