  1. Reinstalling VW Dual question

    The job preview doesn't show up in the job list pane, for one. If you dig into the file folder where the job is cached tho, you can see the BMP and TIF preview files, but the TIF 'Preview-1' files show up as white. So nothing displays in the right-hand Job List pane. Other issues are related to...
  2. Reinstalling VW Dual question

    I'm about to reinstall VW Dual (to solve some issues with job preview pane, and other small nags), but not sure if I should remove the existing install beforehand, or just overwrite it with the disc. Suggestions?
  3. What does this error mean? Caldera VisualRIP8+

    Can’t find much on this error message that we get CONSTANTLY. This will pop up upon first click, then stays away for a bit afterward. We’re still running v8 so our support ran out long ago. We’re on an iMac under x11 environment.
  4. How to Re-organize printer's media list (on fb700's screen)

    My FB700's media listing is a 5 screen long MESS. Flat materials are scattered among banner and SAVs, and since we don't have color corrections for the different substrates, having all of these is redundant. I'd like to re-organize the list into "Coro/Foam/PVC" for flat, "Banner/SAVs/Films" for...
  5. HP FB700 New (and used) Ink profilers failing

    This has remained a mystery to us forever. We STILL DON'T KNOW what helped it activate/profile-y whatever -- These cartridges are a stupid way to keep track of ink. Just make it a reset on the printer's screen...geez. Worse than a grungy Nintendo...
  6. What's a good cleaner for Coroplast (aside from alcohol) to remove fingerprints/oils?

    Thanks! I'm trying that tomorrow. Might already have some in here...
  7. What's a good cleaner for Coroplast (aside from alcohol) to remove fingerprints/oils?

    I use 90 and 70 proof ISA, and microfiber cloths. But lately it seems every sheet we get has fingerprints and skin oils that won't come clean. I'm aware not to scrub too hard to not damage the printable corona, but this is getting tiring -- light colors and full fill backgrounds look horrid and...
  8. Color matching success! But weird!

    GitHub has the v3 Coated and Uncoated color books available for d/l https://github.com/Autocrit/Pantone-color-libraries
  9. Color matching success! But weird!

    Thanks, man! The Studio is only $570 on Amazon…I can swing that!
  10. Color matching success! But weird!

    So we got thru a big order from a grocery chain who were picky about the colors. Took me two days to match a Pantone brown to what our FB700 would actually spit out. The weird Pantone green they wanted printed just fine right out the gate (those are usually the worst offenders). The brown output...
  11. Does Roland sell replacement VW Dual discs anymore?

    Sounds like your cutcontour line is being converted 'stroke to outlines' before being saved. Also, check to see if there's more than one copy of the cutcontour line sitting atop each other. Sometimes PDFs will generate extra lines upon export (something to do with its bizarre handling of...
  12. Want to upgrade from this Athlon x4-640 (VW Dual 1.8)

    HAven't changed this PC because it WORKS and doesn't give us any problems. But our workload is increasing and VWD rip times are a bottleneck. I know this is a 32bit program and only uses a single core on CPU -- I'm looking at reviews and specs but oftentimes those don't address raw power for a...
  13. Looking for 54" wide roll of sticker paper (not vinyl)

    I'm stuck with a bunch of in-house stickers to run on our ROland, but the customers don't like the flimsy vinyl. I've been trying without luck to find rolls of adhesive-backed paper stock, the type used by Sticker GIant, Mule, etc. I've also reached out to Avery, Oracal, Arlon and a few other...
  14. Does Roland sell replacement VW Dual discs anymore?

    I can't find our copy in the shop anywhere, and while looking online I can't locate a request form or download or shop link to buy a replacement disc. This drive is failing and I need this REALLY bad!
  15. HELP! Safety sensors refuse to release, nothing releases them!

    Follow up: This thing is now releasing safety very fast. No explanation. It just suddenly began behaving right one morning and hasn't acted up since.
  16. Awful noises from my FB700 (YT linked)

    Happy to report (sorry for delay) it was a number of things -- carriage wheels, shutter springs, loose screws inside the carriage, and a few other things. The ionizer was completely blown out (black as night) and the power supply thing for the ionizer had MELTED contacts on the inside. The tech...
  17. Better way to store foamboard to prevent warp/bowing?

    I really like that idea…everything is stood on-ends in here. Not such a big deal with Coro but there’s been a huge influx of foam board orders lately…
  18. Caldera erupting with errors today…any idea what’s causing these?

    See pic attachments. I’m getting these on everything today…
  19. Better way to store foamboard to prevent warp/bowing?

    We have limited space in here, so they're sandwiched between the thick stack of coro and dibond. Vertical angle 'easle' stand. It's sad when I have to run foamboard thru the FB700 and there's headstrikes all over the edges. :-( MAde mistake of using a hotair gun on a piece, thought it would help...
