  1. Versa art RS-640 - First real printing problem

    Nozzles test print IS PERFECT (says me proudly) :{) - Thats why I am almost sure it is not banding ... I also triple checked calibration for media feed ... no issues there. I have an Orafol vinyl roll here, gonna try it later. But, since I've printed for the past 2 months on Mac Tac and did not...
  2. Versa art RS-640 - First real printing problem

    Apart my problem with printing on paper few months back - which I decided was a problem with compatibility with media, today I had first real problem with printing on my RS640.

  3. Roland VP-540, Stickers

    Look, guys, buy a freakin' graphtec! - FC 8000 has a ... hollow stripe (!don't know exact english word!) so U just change the position of UR cuter knife and it goes over that stripe. While it is perfing, it does it over - empty space so U don't kill UR knife or the strip.
  4. true black for vp540

    I'll try to share what I know and experienced about this matter: 1. DO NOT PUT 100 100 100 100 black on UR designs. It just IS NOT VERY SMART! - Because UR printer is set up so it has block on maximum total ink level, and it is 350% maximum, but under 300 usuall. So, 4x100 black color will be...
  5. Printing problem

    With great late from me, just to say thanx, and to update this: No luck with either profile from VersaWorks. So I gave it up completely, and I try to exchange materials with my fullsolvent printing colleagues! (No luck there also! Maybe I'll just use it as a packing paper. Or make a notebook of...
  6. Mactac materials with Ecosol Max

    Hello, people! Being only few months in this business actively, I got to know both, good and bad stuff of the industry.

  9. Cutting Master 2 installation cd - !!VIRUS!! ?

    ^ ... and, tech guy just said it is because CM2 must install UNDER other software (Illustrator, Corel ...) so it is recognized as a virus. But, wouldn't graphtec fix that somehow? And, AVG did NOT said it is GENERIC virus (as generic viruses are those with POSSIBILITY of being a virus, because...

  12. Printing problem

    ^^ I didn't try that TWF profile. Simply because paper I use is - paper, not film. Could it work? Also, I did try paper profile from VW, but not glossy, matt only (moonlight paper is not glossy) Perhaps it is meant for full solvents only, that paper? I mean, dealer said it is ok for eco...

  14. High volume printing - advices needed

    soooo, long time has been, I'm getting back here just to share my experiences ... - since U all helped so much, and I'm grateful for that. We printed on 3620M vinyl, using generic profile (2) from VW (couldn't afford tests, 'cause client, like usuall, was late with designs;[) ) I also made a...

  16. High volume printing - advices needed

    Yes, I completely agree with You. So, I am gonna split this job with my vendor (until now).

  20. High volume printing - advices needed

    So, we ordered our RS640. Finaly! I've been wandering this forum for quite some time, undecided, paused by many setbacks, some justified, some not, but our Roland is coming (and pretty fast, too!) :{) We boxed out fast delivery from our supplier because we wanted a kick-start with new machine...
