Transfer tape eliminates this but it's often not practical. We try to keep the temp controlled and don't apply above 95 deg. If we need to align like you mention, I leave it unstuck about a foot above and align it. This pucker is only about 18" wide and a foot tall. I then use a little heat and...

We ran an SP540 for years then a VG for a short time (encountered countless problems) and now an XR640. With the SP we were able to shake the cartridges and get a few more days out of it. We usually did this two times. The XR does not let us though. We have done the syringe thing in a pinch and...

TIME! That's all we needed to do. The longer it sits the better it will come off. We noticed the exact same problem. More time spent peeling the backer than the rest of the install. Ridiculous. If we just apply the tape the day before it comes right off. I think it's because the VHB cures some...

You will have a variety of different issues with this and the same solution does not always work. It can be a pain sometimes and we even tried successfully to create two files, one for printing and the other with just cutlines for cutting. The overall image size has to be exact and this works too.

Cut, as in control X, the cutline. Then flatten your image, all of it together. Then paste in front, as in control F. Save again and there you go. Roland and AI have an issue with any transparency. Drop shadows are the most common issue, but any transparency will prevent the cut lines from...

We had similar issues, but the difference was we went from a 10yrd roll to a 50yrd roll. Our supplier was off by one digit and it was not printable. To make it work before we found this out we laminated the reflective with cast, then printed, then laminated again. This only had fair results, not...

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of purchasing another and finding it to be too small again. I also see on the machine it sais 12 amps. I determined the 7 amps from the website specs. I see that SignMeUpGraphics is using a 2750va. I need to know if that will work on the XR640 and where do we...

I did the math and our 7 amp xr needed like a 1000va and I added some for the pick up reel, so we bought a 1500va and it will not work. I am trying to use a UPS battery back up. Mostly we need surge protection, but like the stable voltage and it's nice if it actually stays on and printing during...

A long time ago, like 12 years or so, we made an eps generator by following some instructions. It was a way to translate a file to be an eps. It was added as a printer and you opened the file and when you went to print, you chose this eps generator, and the file was translated and saved rather...

We need to provide a customer with a couple monument signs and would like to make a portion of it 3D, not flat cut, but like I've seen at a sign show years ago. It was an oversized hamburger and each part done individually. This will be simpler and not so many colors. I don't think I have the...

Same on jobs, but a nozzle test in service mode shows no overspray. Still working with a great tech and trying more print tests to diagnose the problem, but was hoping that someone had this same issue and knew the solution. Thanks, Joe

Not overspray looking and not random. The yellow we thought was all, but looking closer this cyan dot pattern is noticeable in the magenta and the cyan appears to have white, or a lack of dots, so like the missing dots are in the other colors...??? we are printing on a roland SP540-V. The...

3M FUS1007 High performance Scotchcal w/comply Automotive Grade is the standard, but only comes die cut and vehicle specific as far as we can find. We are looking for something that is a pretty good match in small quantity that can be used in it's place and just wrap these, no more special order...

We have tried resaving and many other things and find the problem is in versaworks. Older files that printed fine days before open and all colors are changed to black on the screen and print black. tiffs are fine, but ai files that are saved as eps or pdf change to all black. Saving as tiff or...

We are using Avery MPI1005 EZ apply RS. We usually tell our customers that after a week or so a car wash is no problem and have had no one tell us it was. I read recently that it is not advised by Avery and to hand wash only. We only do commercial wraps and these rarely ever get washed and...

Lodde Lodde from San Antonio $116 ea. free shipping. Same from GSG in Dallas, Tx.

We need a small amount of florescent yellow diamond grade reflective to do one fire truck. Suppliers require large min order of $1,000 for 2 24"x10yd rolls. I thought maybe someone out there has enough to sell a small amount. If so, let me know in a private message and I'll call you. Thanks, Joe

We have been dealing with this for years and need to know if there are any solutions. We use ai c6 on a pc and print to the Roland SP-540V through RVW 5.2. A friend of ours prints on the same machine from Flexi and has none of the issues. We pay him to print some of our jobs when a color change...

Lady wants us to make a portion scratch-off to reveal a small message during a presentation. Any suggestions? Thanks, J
