  1. Roland GR-540 cutter paired with a non-roland printer possible?

    You'll just need to make sure that the RIP software that you're planning on using supports both machines. Look at the drivers list in your software to see if it lists the GR-540. This becomes more important if you're doing print/cut registration as the 2 way communication is very dependant on...
  2. PUSH ROLLER REPLACEMENT

    And now, the rest of the story... The bases are still available, but currently backordered till the end of October. You should be able to get them from your Graphtec dealer. Tracy had been emailing a tech who has retired. We got it all squared away now.
  3. PUSH ROLLER REPLACEMENT

    Are you looking to add another pinch wheel or replace a broken one? There are some parts available, but we can't get the whole assembly. So, if your pinch wheel wobbles, we can probably get a new base for it, but you have to transfer all of the other parts over to the new base.
  4. Flexi19 and Graphtec fc9000 barcode?

    It wasn't very well implemented in version 19. Get v21 and it's a breeze. Good Luck
  5. Epson or Mutoh print - Roland cut

    You will need to have RIP software that supports the Roland XC. FlexiSign and Onyx both do this.
  6. Need Help What are these pink lines? (pics)

    It looks like a head got knocked out of alignment. Can you post a picture of the nozzle test?
  7. Looking for firmware updates.

    Have you tried just installing the latest? I've jumped over gaps in firmware many times without problems.
  8. Roland TrueViz motor error

    If there was nothing obvious like a media jam or something else blocking the carriage, I first recommend that you clean the encoder strip if power cycling doesn't solve the problem. (While it's powered off in back, check to make sure that the carriage moves smoothly and easily.) Good Luck
  9. VG-540I Help

    The upgraded firmware changes the cleaning routine. Once the head stops moving, you open the left maintenance door and remove the cut rail, then pull the carriage over by hand, clean the heads, push it back over the platen, replace the cut rail, close the left door, open the right door, clean...
  10. VG-540I Help

    I always start with the basics - new blade, cutting strip and blade holder. And I prefer the XR cutting strip in there over the TrueVis cutting strips, but that's probably not it. Then I would look at the cut carriage cable, it could be wearing down. You state that it was fixed last year but...
  11. signs 101 website issues?

    I'll take them that way if I can't eat just straight up cookie dough.:)
  12. signs 101 website issues?

    Post them so we can all try them out.
  13. Omega compatible with hp latex 335?

    No. You can create files in Omega, and export as PDF or EPS and print through a RIP to the HP, but Omega doesn't support printing to the HP printer.
  14. Head strikes while printing with HP Latex 800W

    This is kind of a mixed blessing. They will fail more frequently, but you can replace them yourself and they cost 1/10 or less of a piezo head. I encourage all of my customers to keep at least one of each head on hand so there is no wait for a new head. If it's under warranty, HP will replace...
  15. Heat Gun Hip/Belt Holster

    Try some of these: https://www.amazon.com/Drill-Holster/s?k=Drill+Holster
  16. Test cut Flexi

    Flexi will default to "Cut Fast" in Rip and print, Cut/Plot or production manager. Make sure you set that to none, or you can pick a condition all ready set up on the plotter itself when you send the job.
  17. Question TR2 Ink Conversion for Roland Printers versaworks Dual

    Yup. It will only run on VW6 after you upgrade the printer.
  18. Roland VG 640 leaking

    If you've upgrade to TR2 inks, you have the ability to run the damper fill routine: Power down in front and then press and hold the [Pause] and [Enter] buttons while you power on from the front control panel and follow the prompts. Do this twice. If you have good dampers and have not damaged...
  19. Is FlexiSign a 1:1 Ratio workspace or is there a scale system?

    Flexi has been able to work 1:1 for as long as I've been using it 25+ years. I haven't hit the limit yet on size, though there may be one. You also have the option of scaling in there. Design Central makes it easy to do these operations. You can simply type 12:1 into a size field and it's...
  20. Machine Storage While Under Repair

    If you're using Roland inks in that model, I've had them sit for a couple of weeks torn apart and was able to recover the print heads 100% Longer than that and I would be sure to flush them out as RJ said.
