  1. Question Is there a way around importing files into VersaWorks Dual one at a time?

    Yeah, can't drag and drop into the queue. And when doing File > add to queue, you can't select more than one file at a time. This is the default setting for dual. maybe theres a btton somewhere to disable this, but if it exists, I haven't found it. Just found out i can download VersaWorks 6 and...

    Thanks! really appreciate it. New cap tops are on the way. I do a manual cleaning minimum once a...

    Thanks! really appreciate it. New cap tops are on the way. I do a manual cleaning minimum once a week. It's so weird the way a whole print will look good except the green or grey will be banded. Maybe when we switch to the new truevis ink it will be better? sitting on five of each color of...
  3. Need Help Best Roland Printer

    We "upgraded" to a Truevis VG-540 and it's been nothing but trouble for over a year. problems are just intermittent enough to keep from pulling the plug on it.
  4. Need Help Best Roland Printer

    Do you think the original version ink could have something to do with my lite green's banding, despite constant cleanings and calbrations?
  5. Question Is there a way around importing files into VersaWorks Dual one at a time?

    "Upgraded" printers and the new one uses Dual, as opposed to the old machine that worked on VersaWorks. on the old one, you could select as many files as you like and drag them directly into the queue. But with VersaWorks Dual, you can't drag any files into the queue. you need to select FILE...
  6. Need Help How many profiles do you really need?

    Good Morning, Do you use a different profile for each type of media you print on? Do you have any across-the-board profile types you recommend for optimal printing? Could different profiles be the answer to color specific banding? Have you found that generic (or random) profiles deliver...
  7. Need Help How do I replace the encoder strip? XC-540

    I'm not very comfortable performing maintenance on the machine outside what's in the user manual. We're in a rural community 5 hours from the nearest distributor, so having a tech come help with stuff is too expensive. Does anybody have a link to a ho- to video for changing an encoder strip? Or...
  8. OK to swap TrueVis cartridges in&out to avoid running out when you're not there to change it

    My favorite part about the roland truevis vg-540, as an upgrade from the older models, is the TU2 setting. I'll print signs and vehicle wraps all day on the regular roll setting, then at the end of the day, set up a bunch of product labels (that have small text and print slower on a high quality...
  9. Is newer Roland TrueVis VG-540 inferior to older model XC-540?

    Thanks y'all for responding. Pooling the opinions from this thread we have: 1- True\Vis is trash. 2- Truevis is not as good a printer, but has features superior to the old ones. 3- Truevis is great. I'm experiencing all three. The printing itself has been problematic, but features like the TU2...
  10. Need Help Roland Printer: What is going on with these crazy calibration tests

    Glad to hear I'm not alone in this. So would you say, its a good move to keep a collection of profiles to try? and when cleaning/calbration doesn't fix it, just start doing tests on them until one works?
  11. Is newer Roland TrueVis VG-540 inferior to older model XC-540?

    Thanks for the info. Our default profile for printing vehickle wraps is generic vinyl 2. it's at 900x900. we recently tried downloading the profile specific to the print media we use for wraps. It's resolution is 900x600. You can tell that they're different but I can't tell which one is...
  12. Need Help Roland Printer: What is going on with these crazy calibration tests

    Been having some banding issues on the Roland TrueVis Vg-540. Today when calibrating the machine, the correct setting was a moving target. it was set to ten, which had a little overlap. Twenty looked good so i dialed it up. Next test print, twenty had a little gap and ten looked right. Set it...
  13. Is newer Roland TrueVis VG-540 inferior to older model XC-540?

    About 2 years ago i was hired and the company bought a truevis vg-540 to replace the soljet xc-540 as our primary machine. The soljet is about ten years old and has issues now, but the way the boss tells it, this machine has been incredibly reliable and easy to use getting great results with...
  14. Need Help color specific banding

    Hey y'all, I've been having issues with a Roland TrueVis VG-540. I keep seeing these nasty banding lines, that will appear exclusively on certain parts of the graphic. Everything in a large logo will look great, but all the green parts will be banded. Sometimes all the grey parts. It doesn't...
  15. unable to reset IP address on roland printer/versawroks dual

    Hey ya'll We had a power surge over the weekend, and now both of our roland printers are unable to connect to versaworks.Just focusing on the primary printer at the moment. On the PC, in IP config, the IP address is set to 192.168.0.1. However in network connection details, DHCP is enabled and...
  16. Blade scraping on media clamps?

    we've been replacing cut blades at an alarming rate on our roland truevis vg-540. at first i thought it was due to too much pressure when cutting, but after replacing the strip, the blade, and dialing back the pressure, realized something else is breaking the blades. took a close look at the...
