This looks awesome but a total overkill for me. I would like a portable power station that I can hook up say my heat gun to. I really needed that today, the shop I went to go remove vinyl from had no power. What a waste of time, energy, and money. After searching on amazon it seems like most of...

Hello all, Ive come to the conclusion that alot of the computers at the shop are out dated. My most recent purchase was a few years ago to which operates the Roland sp540v. The specs on that one are decent with a 2gb graphics card, 8gb ram, and an i5. Even then with the rate of technology I'm...

Hey guys, I know this thread has been discussed before, but it has happened to me and I can't seem to find any information to alleviate the problem. So the story is that everything was working fine until my shop lost power for a few seconds. When the power came back the Roland would print...

wow that was quick! thanks for the reply guys! much appreciated, helped a bunch.

Ok so I have this big job coming up, these signs were already placed for a while, customer wants to knock the whole thing down and completely re do it. I tried convincing them to take the glass off/remove, and re apply vinyl lettering. But, they are really reluctant to go that route and would...

Both? Or just one? And how much did that run you?

could it be head alignment? after doing more research it seems like the actual lines themselves are cause by a misalignment of the heads.

Thanks for the replies! As mpn suggested, less pressure was the fix! I basically got it to the point where clamping was basically effortless but this seems to be the solution. Just less pressure! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello all, so to cut to the chase my sp540v has some very visible lines in it's prints. I have attached a couple pics, one of which is lamented (didn't catch it before it was laminated) but its a good example. On test prints the magenta is mixing into the yellow, but all the heads seem to be...

Okay so I Definitely don't have the best heat press, but I can't seem to ever get the adjustment just right to avoid getting these heat marks. I'm assuming these are heat marks as they are the same grooves (shape) as the heating plate (pics show this). The pics show the heat marks I am talking...

Thanks for the reply guys! So tempting to hold off and invest in the gs-24. However for the most part my guys usually use the plotter to strictly cut vinyl so I think the gs-24 would be an overkill. I guess I'm going to go check out the gx-24 as it's only about 20 miles away. I'll also check out...

but is $1,000 too much? should i just invest in a brand new gs-24? thats what I'm kind of leaning towards anyways now.

Interesting about the inkcicle you mentioned, I saw that the last time I was cleaning my sp540v after half a year of no cleaning. I just cleaned around the head, but I was very tempted to touch the inkcicle because it was directly on the head and I knew it would take some brute force to get it...

No I don't believe so, what software comes with the gx-24? I was planning on continuing using flexi 10.

Hello all, guess I'll be on this sub forum again as my sp540v has been acting up, but besides the point... I found a Roland GX-24 for $1200 on OfferUp, as my gerber fastrack 650 finally died after 12+ years. I Brought the guy down to $1000. It does look kind of old and the guy mentioned it...

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm here because I have the EXACT same issue on my Roland SP. after a few days like you said the head wouldn't fire, and would actually "dump" a deposit of ink. Takes a good 45mins to a hour to get good test prints. I have a feeling that our heads have just been...

He wants the 540 because a small percentage of our jobs get up to 40-48" he also wants it to cut. As far as technicalities my boss and myself are really not knowledgable at all. We really depend on the techs and other resources (this forum) to gather our knowledge. We are completely new at...

Hey guys, quick little backround: we bought a mimaki jv3 from a local shop only to have it arrive with the inks dried in the line. After countless techs taking the printer apart to no avail...seems like also a head was busted. My boss got fed up and decided to go buy another printer, A Roland...

Wow thank you guys! All this information and opinions are truly invaluable. :thumb:

So, our Mimaki JV3-SP has finally given out. And honestly, I'm done dealing with the print head problems and error codes. Time for a change. I'm in the market for a 54" printer/cutter. and i have been looking at the Roland VP540 and the Mutoh VJ1324. I know there are a bunch of threads about...
