Hello, I was hoping some of you guys could drop some wisdom about how to choose media profiles, and then customizing them. I have an XR-640 and use Versaworks Currently I scroll through the list in Versaworks and choose whatever media name best describes the stock I have. If the print looks...

Damn, this thread is a little scary. I've had an XR-640 for 2.5 years now, and I have had that banding issue as well. I jacked up the DPI and it went away, but I understand why that is not a solution here. I thought is was the stock, because it ran just fine for about 18 months. I will be...

Hello All, I would really appreciate any help on identifying this font. The clients designer up and left, and none of their staff knows. ALl the artwork I have the fonts have been converted to shapes.

I run eco solvent. I had a very busy day, had about 50m of sav degassing in rolls, and printing. It was pouring rain and windy outside so I had the windows and doors closed. I got a pretty decent headache. After that I installed a couple of exhaust fans in the roof. I;ve been good since then...

What is the curing time on the latex printers like? I run eco-solvent and had to reprint a couple of poster today because the ink stuck when I took them off the machine.

Agreed. I'm not the fashion police either. I had a customer come in with a photo of a guy passed out on the floor in a puddle of puke and his business hanging out. The customer wanted it printed onto 20 t-shirts for a bucks night. Heck, if they were prepared to pay me, I was prepared to print it.

I used to have an sc500 and that doesn't look great. Get in touch with Roland. I'm based in Sydney, and I find their tech support to be excellent. I see you're in Victoria, so there might be a different office in Melbourne you could ring. They only have a small team and sometimes you have to...

Welcome. Good work on finding this site, it is a great resource.

Welcome. This site is a great resource. Good Luck!

I ran one of these machines for a few years. I always found that the colours of the UV inks were quite dull. I never had those problems you've listed though. It does sound like the ink and the media aren't working well together though. They need a lot of love in the head cleaning and...

Which one is correct? The top or the bottom? When I have trouble with pdf's there are a couple of things I try. 1st I would make sure I was importing, and presetting the file type to pdf. Sometimes drag and drop doesnt work. 2nd I would use "save as" to convert it to an eps then import that...

This is very true. I was quickly googled a client just last week to get their phone number and found that someone had left a very negative review for them in google plus. They clearly weren't aware of it as it was dated 3 years back. I'm sure you can delete those, or at least explain yourself...

Yes, awesome, thank you. Found the setting, changed it, all good.

A client has supplied me with artwork that has a few number of vector lines and shapes with outlines that are a visual part of the artwork. For some reason I can't figure out, Versaworks has decided these outlines are cut contours. When I look at the preview image in print only, there is no...

Still finding my way with my new secondhand Roland EcoSol. I'm testing a banner stock, and have found a profile that gives me acceptable print quality, but the ink just doesn't want to dry. I ended up running it with the heater on 50 degrees C, and with a fan heater blowing straight onto it...

I'd try copying everything into a new document and trying it from there. Sometimes Corel documents get glitchy. Another thing could be if Corel thinks the objects are 'symbols'. I don't know what Corel means, but sometimes when you import artwork in from eps or pdf, it can come in as a symbol...

I know this thread is a little old but no one has responded so... I have a HP5500 as well. UV inks all the way if you are after longevity. Look for microporous paper stocks, they tend to work better. As for canvas I can only suggest you shop around and get lots of samples until you find one...

Thank you! I'll give it a stab today.

I have a recurring job of qty:40 double sided A0's that I have been outsourcing to a nother digital printer. I recently got a Roland eco sol wide format, so I want to start printing them inhouse. I got some samples of double sided poster stock but I'm a little baffled as to how to proceed with...

Sometimes I notice that the prints are, curved. I don't think it is the cutter, is that what you mean by warped? Thanks for the responses, I'll rethink how I am storing them, it sounds like vertical storage is the way to go.
