  6. Roland RS-640 Print heater Down

    It still registers as heating and even shows the temp going up but its room temperature. What would cause this? I looked at the fuse responsible for it and it looks fine. I'm about to take the whole thing apart but maybe someone could save me some troubleshooting time. I guess I'm mostly...
  7. How have you "rigged" it?

    We have all run into problems with our equipment. The jobs keep coming, we must keep producing, and the part is at least a day away. Either your printer or your plotter, what are your more memorable rigs? How many coat-hangers are holding your old junker together? Rigging is what separates...

  9. What does "install in this direction" mean?

    Like on polymetal and other substrates it has an arrow that points a direction and tells you to install it that way. Does it mean install the graphics or hang it on a building? Why does it matter?

  11. Is it just me or is Matte everything better?

    We just started using matte vinyl a few months back and now almost everything I print I decide would look better on matte. Am I crazy or just hooked...maybe because matte is new to me or something, ((all) cut vinyl being glossy) but I just think it looks so much more expensive than glossy

    Just got an email saying that Roland owners can get a 60 day trial of "keen" an e-commerce service...anyone know of this? Sounds like an easy way for an otherwise offline shop to get online quick and easy... In the end it is probably better just to do it right and custom. $99 and 3% a month...
