  1. Hanging a banner from a car for a parade?

    I have a political client, that is requesting a banner print of his campaign art, to hang from a vehicle window during parades. I originally suggested vehicle magnets, as this is my normal solution to temporary graphics. The customer does not want magnets, they want a banner. They are...

  3. Need Help TruVis VG-540 Print Issue

    Thanks for the test print. I have it downloaded, and will run it as soon as another print head is installed and i'm running again. I will post a photo of the results if I remember too.
  4. Need Help TruVis VG-540 Print Issue

    The issue was corrected by the tech. However, when we tried to test it (with the tech here), the machine flashed red with an error code. We had lost two print heads. *This makes 5 total in just over a year. The two new heads came in yesterday and were installed, and one of the new ones wouldn't...
  5. Need Help Fair price for GX-24?

    The GX-24 is a tank, you should be fine. I would buy it.
  6. Need Help TruVis VG-540 Print Issue

    That particular type in the photo is very small, however I'm getting this "magenta drop shadow" on every print no matter the size. On large prints, it is less noticable, but still there. I am printing from .pdf files. The undesired effect is present across all prints, on all media, on any...
  7. Need Help TruVis VG-540 Print Issue

    All of the calibration tests are set to what they should be. This machine has had 3 print heads replaced. I am thinking that maybe the replaced heads are physically out of alignment, but that should still show in the test prints.
  8. Need Help TruVis VG-540 Print Issue

    The print head was printing horizontal on both of the original photos. I have attached a photo here of my nozzle test. I consider it perfect, when there are no missing or deflecting nozzles. My tech's supervisor just came in and double checked all of my alignments and calibrations. He also ran...

    Hello everyone, I am running a Roland TruVis VG-540. RIP is Versaworks Dual 1.3.1. I have a very large order I'm working on, and can't get the print quality up to where I want it. My test print is perfect. I have with through the Bi-Directional detailed and simple calibrations. I have went...
  10. Vg 540 truevis question

    I run a VG-540. It has been my main machine for over a year now. The experience has not been great, but as stated previously, most of the bugs seem to have worked out. It was an absolute beast of a machine at first and I loved it, then it dropped 3 print heads in under a year. I think that is...
  11. The Delivery Machine

    I just finished up our shop delivery van. I designed this to be an attention grabber. The back and front of the van display our business name and services. This was also my biggest color change install. I would like to see what some of you have done with your shop vehicles.
  12. Wrapping 24' Box Truck with Rivets

    Never use a calendared vinyl over rivets. Brand is totally up to preference, but definitely make sure you use a cast vinyl and cast laminate.
  13. Banner Ups vs. Grommets

    I just received my Banner Ups starter kit today. It came with clear Bravo Tabs, PowerTape, and a heavy duty hole puncher. The process goes much quicker than the tape hemming and punching grommets I have always used before. Just wondering what everyone's experience was with these tabs, and how...
  14. In need of Dry Erase Poster material

    This particular customer has decided to go another way, but I would love to pick this material up for future use. Have you ever printed to this material? My Grimco rep said that it doesn't work as advertised, and it is almost $1000 per roll.
  15. In need of Dry Erase Poster material

    I thought that might be the case. A man can dream.
  16. In need of Dry Erase Poster material

    I'm in search of an eco-solvent printable dry erase poster material. I have a large order that needs filled by next Friday. In the past we have printed normal poster material and laminated with a dry erase laminate. Not only is dry erase laminate out of stock everywhere, but I would like to...
  17. Real-life Dilbert moments...

    My boss once got angry because of the cheap vinyl that was used on my blank sheets of aluminum. He was referring to the protective plastic that comes on all of them. I told him he should probably call somebody to complain.
  18. Fuzzy Prints on VG540

    Here is my nozzle test.
  19. Fuzzy Prints on VG540

    The tech just came back by. He made a few more adjustments, and the prints are acceptable now. There is still some fuzziness in solid color areas though, and he took samples to try and figure out the problem. Physical head alignment could be the issue considering 3/4 have been replaced.
  20. Fuzzy Prints on VG540

    My 3rd print head was replaced yesterday, the tech did all of the calibrations but now all of my prints have a grainy fuzziness to them. I have tried several different profiles that I usually use to no avail. The test print is perfect. Anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this, or a...
