Sorry missed this one before I posted. Is the whole cut off by the same amount? Or does the gap between where it cuts and should cut grow as more material is fed through?

Wrong. Those posts you referenced say that Roland told him after the fact that the material is too thick... (covering their butt) Even though the machine will cut the material(OP claims). Just that it cuts in the wrong spot. The reason that would happen is that the thick laminate distorts...

Autoexe, Have you tried this method? If not, you should. It will tell you if your machine is or isn't defective. Don't let Roland tell you it's the lam, if you know your machine can physically cut the material (just not accurately)

I don't think so, at least not according to the OP's post #30. "I never really had a reason to use 3 passes , 1 pass cuts it perfect just in the wrong spot .. so 3 passes would be 3 in the wrong spot. I make one in monday that was ... ( let me look at file ) .. 62 inches and all cuts were dead...

^This. If your machine is indeed working properly as roland says, then this method should work fine. Print the decal with reg marks as you normally would. Cover the reg marks with app tape, then lam with your 12 mil lam. Carefully cut the lam (try not to cut through the vinyl or backer) and...

Agree. "Signs & Design" should be rotated clockwise a bit?

Anybody know the font for the phone number?

Thank you all for the advice. I know this customer very well and will definitely warn them of the possibilities of an issue. Jill, it is the wood recycling company that you just did a layout for us for. They love it by the way.

What is the best way to remove old (10+ yrs) lettering enamel from a truck door without damaging the truck's paint? It isn't much, just an underline about 15"x.5".

We use rectangles, usually about 2"x.5". Sometimes we'll cut the registration mark out (tape, vinyl and backer) of the second layers on bigger graphics to create a "window" to look through.

Thanks Fred.

Anybody know this font? I think it's an easy one, one I have but I'm drawing a huge blank. Monday... Thanks,

Anybody know this font? Thanks in advance

Castek, Thanks for the advice on trying the vinyl manufactures profile! We use mostly oracal, and have their profiles, but never really noticed any difference when using the oracal profiles instead of rvw profiles before, mostly vector stuff though. So we've always just used the rvw profiles...

I hear what your saying, and it's been something I've wanted to do for a while now, create our own profiles. I know there is a fairly steep learning curve and cost associtated with creating our own profiles. And having never used a custom built profile, it's hard to know if it's worth the...

No option for relative and absolute colorimetric/perceptual in vw. Options are colorimetric, perceptual, absolut, saturation, ink limits... but nothing that says relative. Did a test with raster set to perceptual, it was very slightly brighter but still has a greenish hue.:banghead:

I can change this setting in versaworks for both vector and raster images, so this might work. Currently while using "U.S. Preset" the rendering intent is set to colorimetric for both vector and raster. Going to try changing the intent for rasters to perceptual and see how that works, there...

By rendering intents, do you mean the color management section in versaworks? If so, we print 99% on U.S. Preset, we have used max impact in the past to solve transparency issues. Is there a setting that would help with the dark and greenish raster images? Would the setting have an adverse...

Whenever we print large high res. raster images for wraps or signs, the image always comes out a bit dark and with a greenish hue to it. Printing on a roland xj540 eco sol max ink and we use stock rvw profiles. Over the last few years we have been combating this in many different ways...
