  1. XR-640 Printer manual Required/WTF is going on here.

    What's the problem? The yellow splotches or the black bands? Have you tried printing the same image on different media?
  2. printing multiple copies with crop marks pickup reel stalls out.

    TU2 will not activate the takeup until the print is done. This would be useful if you were going to immediately cut after printing. We usually have it set to "Roll" or "TU" and it has worked in both cases for us. It sounds like most of the steps are the same as what we use. Has it worked for...
  3. Laser Blur around letters

    Clean encoder strip if your machine has one. If your on facebook, check out the Epilog Laser Fan group, sure someone may have experienced the same issue.
  4. garbage rant!!!

    I wish ours was that cheap. We have a 1.5yd and it is around $250 a month for once a week service. We do get a free 4yd recycle bin though. We are right next to a public storage unit and get the idiots dumping old furniture and boxes. We had to get a locking dumpster just so our dumpsters...
  5. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    How difficult was the Bodor to get setup and cutting? Are the instructions in english and does it come with any software? Have you needed any kind of service or replacement parts? We have an Epilog Fusion M2 120 watt and just purchased a Trotec Speedy 360 80 watt and the machines are great...
  6. xR640 more issues

    We have had our XR for a little over a year. We had one head go bad right at the 1 year mark. During that first visit, the tech used up 6 cartridges of ink doing cleanings and flushes to try to get the nozzles back. This was on a Friday afternoon and of course the tech did not come with a...
  7. Anyone have a GOOD PhotoTex Profile?

    On our Roland we have found the Graphitex profile to produce a more accurate color than the profiles provided on the Phototex website.
  8. GX-640 plotter through cut?

    Yes. Do a google search for Roland Perf cut.
  9. Roland CutContour help requested

    Another thing to check is make sure to "Flatten Transparency" under the object menu. If you imported a png or sometimes with special effects, it will cause Versaworks to not recognize the cut/perf contour. Just make sure you don't have the cutcontour path selected when you choose flatten...
  10. Media Question

    Can't just laminate with a gloss laminate?
  11. 48" Application tape machine

    http://www.weedersheeter.com/productinfo/index.htm use to have a 48" model I think, but it's not listed anymore. But for the price you could get a UStech laminator.
  12. Roland LEF-20 UV LED printer ink odor overwhelming making us nauseous light headed

    The ink does have a powerful odor. We haven't had any issues of getting lightheaded though. I can only imagine what running a LEJ-640FT in a confined room would smell like. If we have the BOFA running at around 40%, we don't notice it much until we open up the top lid to put in another piece. I...
  13. Looking to Get a Flatbed Printer

    There are desktop inkjets, i.e. epsons that can print on special "printable" cd's and cardstock. Don't think you would be able to print wood since it would need a special coating. What brand of printers are you working with now? And who uses cd's these days?
  14. Looking to Get a Flatbed Printer

    For small stuff like that, Roland LEF-12 or LEF-20. I think Mimaki also has a small flatbed printer. Not going to be cheap though, at least $20k for the printer unless you can find a used one and even then they are $15k+.
  15. Better material than Oracal 3651

    3164 if your looking for cheap and don't care about shrinkage.
  16. Weeding after laminating issue

    Same issue. We have the problem with any print media, laminated or not. We've tried Oracal 3164, 3165ra, 3651, 3551ra with the same results. It is so slow and time consuming to weed whether we laminate or not.
  17. How long do you wait for machine service?

    Unfortunately, we only have 1 Roland dealer in the area and since it is warranty work, we are at their mercy. We have bought a couple Rolands from them and buy all our App tape, ink and some vinyl, so i'd say we are a decent customer. How does the HP service contract work? Is it a flat yearly...
  18. Roland SC 540 test print result

    Have you done any head soaks? When is the last time you changed the captops?
  19. How long do you wait for machine service?

    Just curious how long it takes to get your machine serviced once you phone/email in the problem? To schedule a service call for our Roland through our local distributor, it seems to take anywhere from 5-10 days before they can get out unless they have a cancellation. It seems high to me as...
  20. XR-640 bad nozzle check and service manual

    Had some banding in cyan and printed out nozzle check(attached). Replaced wiper, did manual cleaning and then a multitude of Normal/Medium/Powerful cleanings with no change in the dropout. Machine is 5 days over a year old and that means it is 5 days out of warranty. Only had a 1 year warranty...
