  1. Graphtec 8600-160 Blade arm not engaging

    It's not unusual for the sheet cut blade to interfere with the pen block if it doesn't reset normally. As JB said, take a pen or pencil and push it in the left side of the carrage and make sure that the plunger is out (to the left). With the power off, can you move the tool holder up and...
  2. Possible to skip Laminate when printing with overcoat?

    It probably depends on the life expectancy of the print. If it's for a weekend promotional, you could probably get by without the laminate, but if the bus will be washed with the print on, it needs to be laminated. Overcoat is not a replacement otherwise no one would put laminate on vehicle...
  3. How do you get Adobe Filters to work in Flexi?

    Yes it is in the Adobe program folder.
  4. Printer Technician

    They also have to pay that tech $50 per hour when he's not doing billable work as well, so they're not pocketing the rest. They're investing it in a system that supports their customers. Do they bill you for the time spent on the phone trying to figure out what's wrong before they come onsite...
  5. VersaWorks upgrade to new Windows 10 computer

    Versaworks 6 will not run the SPv series. You'll need to continue using VW5.
  6. Rise of the Machines - AI Vector Tracing is coming for our Bitmaps!

    That's a long way from the old Gerber digitizing tablet that I mastered years ago. With the Numonics tablet and 4 button puck. I'm feeling old now...
  7. Puddle of ink around cap top ?

    I've never used anything but OEM, so I can't tell you what the difference is. I've seen many reports on this forum from members that I trust that say there is a difference. If you've had good luck with them, that's great. It may be an application issue. I've never had a problem with OEM cap...
  8. Versaworks 6.19.2 "Dongle is not attached properly" error on startup

    No need to uninstall. Like the message says, initialize the application. It's in the start menu>Versaworks. This will return the software to a "New Install" condition. You'll need to reenter any devices and it will clear the job folders, but there's not a great way around it. Likely it's one...
  9. In need of the Roland Versaworks spot color folder for VW6

    You can find the swatches in the Program Files>VersaWorks>Swatch>Illustrator folder. You're looking for the Roland VersaWorks swatch, not the color system swatches. Good Luck
  10. Puddle of ink around cap top ?

    If you take the cap top base out, you need to mark the bed where it goes before removing it. It is set with a jig at the factory. If you just removed the cap top to replace it, the only calibration done regularly is the flushing position adjustment. But that's a left and right thing, it looks...
  11. versaworks and roland bn-20 ink problem

    When you have two magenta channels, it doesn't print with one of them (except when doing nozzle test prints or other internal prints.) You'll want to swap the oldest one over to the active channel (the one that is magenta only) to keep your ink fresh. And as cornholio said, these printers go...
  12. Factory reset FC5100

    Generally it's holding down the up arrow while you power on. I'm not sure if it works on that model or not. Good Luck

  14. ROLAND UV PRIMER ADVICE PLEASE URGENT

    The primer is just for promoting adhesion where inks may not stick as well. I doesn't help with the build up of textures. I hope this helps.
  15. Question 0002 error code

    Is that a motor error or a service call error? Like Cornholio says, a picture of the error would be helpful.
  16. Need Help roland sp-540v on versa6 troubles

    Versaworks 6 doesn't support the your printer. You'll have to use the original VersaWorks on a computer that supports it or see if you can get versaworks to run in a compatibility mode or something.
  17. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    Yeah, time generally improves the adhesion like most other adhesive vinyls. It didn't always prevent the problem. There was an issue with that generation of ink. That's why the next generation of inks includes a top coat that you can turn off for laminated prints. Must have Gremlins in the...
  18. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    Yes, it's been found that if you give the laminate adhesive more dwell time on the print, the adhesion is improved for when you go to stretch and apply. Good luck.

    Check with an Airplane Mechanic. The FAA regs get really strict. Good Luck
