  1. Alien skin eye candy 6

    Thanks for the heads up...... it's only while qty's last as they are clearing out.
  2. HELP: VP540 Random Color Dropouts

    I sure hope that was the fix for your issue although I would not have thought a dirty encoder stip could cause that. I have the same thing happening on one of my waterbased CJ's and have replaced the heads, damper, ink carts and so far no luck. I will try the strip next. Do let us know if this...
  3. Roland SC500 with Flexisign 8.1

    Just thinking of this and just in case you can't get the printer to do the crop mark read thing, another guy on this site had issues with his CJ 500 (flipping the switch to make it a SC 500) and then trying to use that feature of reading the crop marks. It just did not work. He flipped the...
  4. trouble getting stuff to print to scale

    If you print on a piece of paper and then print on some heavy canvas or banner material you will get two different results with the feed of the rollers on the printer. You can do the test prints to correct this but you can also calculate the % you are off on (lets say a 48" run) and adjust the...
  5. Printing on Canvas

    If you have the chance to run both waterbase and solvent with the same print you would notice quite easily that waterbased pigment (not dye) has much brighter and better color than solvent. However I think they may be bringing out better canvas for solvent and getting good results. I have only...
  6. Printing on Canvas

    You know....... doing that you are guaranteed getting a hare stuck in your print...........
  7. Roland SC500 with Flexisign 8.1

    Yes it can. I always just use production manager to add files and print and cut. Once you add the file to there and double click on it you will see all the tabs on top. Going over each tab you will see similar to what flexi shows in its windows. The 2nd tab will give the option to just...
  8. 20-20 inks experiences?

    I used the 11/10 in my converted CJ 500 for my first ink. I did need to profile to get the right color. If you can't make profiles this may be an issue for you. The odor on the 11/10 was not bad at all, the ink seemed to bond well and not easily scratch. Overall I liked them. When they quit...
  9. small yard signs

    Things to think about: Do you want someone to design the layout or do you want to try on your own? There are some here who will do that and at a very fair rate. How big do you want the sign to be? How long do you want them to last? How much do you want to spend on each one? These...
  10. Rolling Pin for Laminating

    Do note that if you can lay it down without any major bubbles, leave it for a day or two then look at it again. You will notice most of the silvering has gone away. I just layed some of the 210 matt lam and it looked horrible on one of the panels but even by the end of the day it was almost all...
  11. Roland CJ500/SC500 Encoder Strip

    Do know that you can use a generic Roland srtip and cut it to the length you need. I have heard this first hand that it works. The cost of the CJ srtip is several hundread where you can get one that works for a fraction. Before you do that if you think the strip is causing an issue you can...
  12. Roland SC500 Yellow lines

    If the encoder check finished and did not say anything then you should be fine there. Just try to blow out the area where the Black cutter carriage houses the censor for reading the encoder strip. It's in behind even with the strip. Changing the file and printing something else, does it...
  13. Roland SC500 Yellow lines

    Some times a faint line can appear (most times I have seen black) due to the encoder strip or the strip censor having debre on it. Do these lines appear in areas of the print where there is white space, meaning where nothing should be printer or only over the image itself? In the service...
  14. You know you've made it when......

    Watch it Tim..... at your age getting lucky means you didn't hurt your self at the driving range warming up..... You asked for it......
  15. You know you've made it when......

    I know what you mean...... Mine was about elecrtical stuff:doh: and I also just found out I won a lottery in the UK...... without a ticket...... They say things happen in 3's and they are right...... I got lucky at the restaurant last night...... I found some gum under the table...
  16. Stupid question...

    Even though it shows up in the rip log, I don't think you can do anything unless the actual job or file was saved.
  17. Mounting Posts From Behind??

    Me too.... I was going to ask if it had anything to do with sheep and was going to say just put an X on the ones that kick....... but decided not to.....:Oops:did I just type that out loud.....
  18. Leaving too long of tube length from pump

    Not sure if this will help anyone else but this is something I have found. I re-tubed a pump with solvent tube and decided to leave a little extra length on the section of tube that ran from the pump to the captops. The reason was that as I attach a syringe often to flush the drain lines, I...
  19. Roland sc500 help please

    I am going to send you over one to try. It's a Roland profile from the SCsol profiles. You may need to reduce some of the ink limits. Might have to go over input profiles as well and try some other media if you have on hand. Phone me if you want. I am around right now.
  20. Roland sc500 help please

    You should also have the MG and Lc line up as well. This is the side lever on the left head (left side) This lever moves the head forward and back. I never seem to get that lever to work so I manually pull of push the head forward or back to adj. Very little movement is all you need. They...
