  1. Black is printing green

    I changed the cap, damper and ink cartridge. It worked for a while... then the blue started acting up too. I have changed the black and blue cartridge to roland and will also change the yellow and magenta when they are empty. No more liquacolor solaris inks! I was getting 500cc cartridges for...
  2. Black is printing green

    Seems fine now After changing the damper... no change. I found air in the line and thought damper leak, but it was probably me not tightening line after suctioning from before. I then replaced at the same time the ink cartridge and cap top. We had some gray printing briefly that turned to black...
  3. Drawing Ink Thru Lines

    We had this problem with the cyan. It was probably the after market ink. We suctioned some ink and would be fine for a few days, but the problem became more consistant. We flushed the line and still had problems. After using a roland ink cartridge... the problem went away. I feel the large...
  4. Black is printing green

    Black still off After some advice I suctioned off some black ink and printed some solid black stripes. They are a dark grey... not really black. I am thinking of flushing the black line and trying a new black cartridge. Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
  5. Black is printing green

    Our sp-540v was ocasionally printing blue ish black and is now printing a dark green where black should be. It does share a head with the cyan, and I believe when printing 100%k it uses some blue which made me think the inks were contaminating each other? The test print (on the keypad) is good...
  6. Die cut aluminum

    We are looking for a wholesaler of screen printed die cut aluminum. I googled and found a few and sent estimates, but am having some bad results. Two say they cannot do it, even though their websites show they can, and the only one to give a price is too high. If interested the details are...
  7. Printing on colored vinyl?

    I just tried it and the silver shows through and the red is much too light. This is on oracal cast metallic silver. I am not familiar with changing profiles and if it is too involved I may opt to just print the red and stack it for this small job but would like to know how to make this...
  8. When to change head height?

    I have the roland sp-540v and at first did the head height adjust for banner high and vinyl low and found it all works best on low. I only have printed on some 13oz banner, pvc non curl, calendered vinyl, and maybe a few prem cast vinyls though... no canvas. The high setting gave off some fuzzy...
  9. cyan ink flow problems

    I had this problem and it seems to be the solaris ink. I still use it for now, but not the cyan. Had to switch to Roland ink. Seems the clogging was in the needle that punctures the ink cartridge, or around it. I did pull and push the cleaning solution and the push seemed to unclog it for...
  10. Printing on colored vinyl?

    I may need to be directed to an older discussion... seems like a not so unusual topic. I am a newer roland owner and have a small decal to make that would be awesome on silver metallic for the outline. I originally planned on printing the pms color red seperatly then applying over the silver but...

  14. Need a little help please

    I am using CM2 with ai CS3 with a graphtec CE3000-60. On the media size page in CM2(the first tab) the top drop down should be user defined. Then the media size to what the plotter gives you after it runs the set-up. This is the only one you should adjust. The second one should be 1968.00inches...
  15. Setting up Graphtec to use with Illustrator

    BTW... just in case your running a 64 bit windows, and you probably are not, it will most likely not work. I found this out and had to reload windows 32 bit and cuttingmaster works quick and easy.

  18. enviromental match

    Under menu... arrow down or up till it sais enviro match. Hit enter. It runs the y axis. Takes less than a minute. It's good for a print, lam then cut job. I think it calibrates itself at it's current condition like temp and such and compinsates for it. Hope it helps. J
  19. Double Cutting?

    I have a quick solution... change the cutting force to half. When I first hooked up my plotter, the advance after cut was set to 0.00 and when I chose multiple, it cut on top of original. I hope it helps. J
  20. Covering white lexan?

    I will be using the laminator to mount this... dry. It works great. If you have not tried it, I suggest you give it a try. There's a few tricks to it, but you get perfectly lined up, even, no bubs or creases, and it's fast. I am considering printing on 48" transluscent white lettering vinyl...
