  2. Question The new Roland Tru vis

    Tom, Go on Roland's site and request some sample prints, they will send them to you, I think it would be better if you have them in your hand, seeing is believing. It has nice output, very bright colors, banners look wet, I keep touching them thinking they are wet, but they are dry, I was told...

  4. Question The new Roland Tru vis

    NOPE! Posters are not on my list of things to do, no time for them, I have made many banner posters for small runs, but they were priced accordingly, some people just want my design skills and are willing to pay me. I am from the print world first and hate paper posters and bus cards, NOPE I...
  5. Question The new Roland Tru vis

    I stand my VG 540 on it's ear with files from a local college design team who expect flawless prints, gradients & photos, on signs, walls and banners, never a problem! I have never seen ANY banding on any print from this machine! I clean this machine once a week, it is half the time the VP...
  6. Discussion Decision: CNC Router or small digital printer?

    I think you should get a printer, if you are making all your signs with cut vinyl, that is the reason you are tired, I bought a new VP 540 10 years ago, when i got it, I was very apprehensive, wondering how am I going to pay the monthly lease payment, what if it breaks, what if I make a mistake...

    On my old VP 540, I had 2 sizes of media clamps, long and short, when using the long set I had to remember to remove them before running the cutter, if not the cutter would hit the clamp and I would get an error, I don't know if your machine is set up the same way. My New VG has a sensor and...
  8. Upgrading from VS540i to Truevis VG-54

    I read the bad reviews on the Truevis printers also, got some constant bashers lurking around, But I talked to a guy who is running one 24 hrs a day, 3 shifts and LOVES his! I guess the early models had trouble but from what I have noticed, they have them ironed out. I am going on 6 months with...
  9. Vg 540 truevis question

    So far my Truevis is awesome! It prints fast, cuts dead accurate, and hasn't given me a bit of trouble, to me it is just a reliable Roland, what I have become used to. I really like versaworks and it prints many of the old files I have from my VP with almost spooky matching colors. This thing...
  10. Hello. Anyone Know The Maximum Time For Laminition Using Roland Truvis Ink And Ecosolmax 2?

    I Have done it both ways with my VG 540 Truevis, I have not seen a problem yet, I normally wait a day before laminating but if the vehicle is at the shop and you mess a piece up you need to make it right away, I usually try to wait 2 hrs, then laminate. I also have not experienced the "white"...

  17. Need Help How to repair damaged pan faces by heat gun.?
