In the product mangager if you right click on the plotter and select change port you should see in the list USB_Printer_1 or 2 exc. you have to pick one, send a test if the wrong printer starts then you have the wrong usb printer try another. We still use an old pnc-950 with the usb/parallel...
Lighting can change the color quite abit. From the fluorescent lighting to outdoors colors will also shift.
Try cmyk colors with only percentages of black.
We print with flexi and do that then when sending them I select pure black and pure white hue in the color settings rendering intent.
Hope...
Do your cuts start on then gradually get farther off?
Our vp-540 would do that when ushing higer blade pressures.
It may work better for you using less pressure and sending the cut twice.
Unfortunately I cannot use the cloud version because of the way it puts the opus marks for the summa cutter on compared to v8.6.
in 8.6 the marks were the same distance apart no matter on the quantity printed.
in 10 the marks now change distance depending on the total length of the print.
This...
Ditch the wireless router and run a cat5e cable
This may not be easy for you but should clear up the problem.
or buy a better wireless router....and even the best one may not work for the amount of data you need to transfer.
we learned the same thing with our roland doesn't cut the best.
We went the summa way though and does exactly what you want it to.
I am not sure about the roland cutters, when we looked the largest they had was 48".
Also you flexi will drive your printer, just select the sp540.
Only problem...
You have one of the most stable versions 8.1
I still have one file that can only be opened in 8.1 any of the newer versions won't open it.
We have upgraded to the latest cloud version but still use 8.6 I only wish 8.1 would run the roland vp
If you use versaworks you will have to add your own contour cut registration marks because versaworks wont print the summa marks, only roland style.
Flexi will work with both but if you design in corel or adobie you will need the plug in to add the marks.
in the contour cut setting tab, select send as separate jobs
on the first tab select hold in list not send now.
send to product manager
both jobs will be in the manager now and you can send the print then send the cut.
Summa!
Last week we did a 300" long piece with 100 8x12 rectangle cut decals with no problem.
We don't even have the T series just the D-series.
Tried the graphtec and could not get it to find reg marks consistently
your issue may be fixed with the 1" indent but look at the distance between marks. The old style used the same distance no mater the quantity. The new system seems to divide the total length then adds the marks making them different distances apart for different quantities. So if I print a file...
I too do not use it due to the new Opus marks for the Summa. My problem is that with the old style when the printer runs out of material on a job of multiple quantity I can save the sheet by just sending another print/cut with the amount that got finished on that sheet. With the new marks they...
thanks for posting,
we never have been able to get solid colors on clear with our VP-540.
probably a profile thing but I thought it was because the inks were translucent and needed the white background to make them opaque.
