It seems that your PM inbox is full :)

I know that this is a pretty old thread but just thought I'd add my two cents. This should be taken as advice for all printers, not just the SP300. Heat can certainly be a problem but one of the more common problems in my experience is not tightening and centering the media. Doing this is...

By the way we used ours for outdoor signs. Are your's for indoor or outdoor use ?

We had a million little problems with photocells (or photoresistors as we call them). We never really identified the whole spectrum of problems but one of the more common ones was that the "head" of the photocell would corrode or something like that and would stop working because of that so...

As bearwen pointed out it could be a lot of things. If you can send us an image of what the bands look like and based on that we might be able to tell you more. I've head a similar problem with my VS-640. http://www.signs101.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=74996&d=1332447469 This is...

You should certainly try to sell them, I was in a similar situation on my Roland with metalics and whites but in the end I decided to keep it as the printer cost extra to have the lights+metalic+white so I didn't want to throw that money away and I don't have a problem with the speed. For...

Uhm I saw a thread on a forum (maybe even here) that buys those I think for $2-3 butI'm sure where I saw it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm sure that it's a Google search away.

Hello, I don't have a RE but I have a VS-640 which is like the REs big brother. I have mine setup with lights and metallic. I don't think that you'll have any problems with the RE when it comes to gamut. I have been to the Milan expo and seen some of them in action and the when run in 4...

I can't speak for the WIT Color or DX5 heads on Chinese printers but I have a printer with Spectra 255 heads and have a similar problem. The heads simply aren't close enough to the caps to seal properly. The caps are the rubber kind where you put solvent in them to keep the heads wet. Since the...

I have had banding issues on my VS-640, it turned out that some ink got onto the encoder strip and that caused it. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92322 This is what it looked like and it made the cut inaccurate as well. Against the advice of the technician that sold me the...

Mate first of all if you're taking advice from your media and ink supplier about how to run your business you're doing it wrong. About 4 days ago we moved into a new building as the old space we had was just too small, we now have 500 sqm and just got our net connection installed today and...

Short, accurate and to the point. Best post so far.

Sorry for tread-jacking but I have a question. I was recently at the Milan Expo and I already knew what the Zund can do but when I saw it in person I was absolutely blown away. One question I have for you guys, as you're the first people I know to have a serious interest in Zund or even own...

Well this isn't exactly a Roland...it doesn't really matter if the dealer is nearby you usually have to service Chinese printers yourself. I have had a few and while they in no way compare to my VS-640 I have payed of all of them within 3 months of owning them and I have barely made even on...

********. While there are certainly scammers there as there are everywhere I buy a lot of stuff in China and never even needed ESCROW. I have bought an entire container worth of goods ($20k) and LEDs worth over $10k over the last two years. You of course have to do your due diligence...

I mostly agree with you. In my place the situation is similar but probably worse. We work with large companies and even they have dramatically shrunk their printing budgets, they mostly seem to focus on TV advertising. The problem is when you offer high quality print and even when you...

We do wallscapes on a regular basis and they can be up to 30 meters long and we just use a regular old grommet machine we got off ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grommet-Machine-3-Die-0-2-4-900-Upgraded-Grommets-Eyelet-Hand-Press-Tool-/230863117762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c0839dc2...

One thing that annoys the hell out of me in VersaWorks is that the Done "meter" is soooooo wrong. If you print a large job it's always wrong by like an hour. I have a Chinese printer that cost 6 times less than my VS-640 and it can tell the "time" properly. The great thing about it is, not...

I just logged into my account here and saw this thread. We resolved the issue by opening the machine up and just cleaning up the encoder strip. The interesting thing about the whole situation was that after the Roland dealer ran out of solutions like: It's the temperature (this had never been...

Could you explain the feed calibration part in more detail ? I currently have a 1.2m wide one in, all the pinch rollers I got are in (6) and we always have the same problem. After 20 cm the cut is way off and simply isn't usable anymore. EDIT: Just tried with crop marks, same thing happened...
