  1. Sign Tray

    We're looking at making some some folded Aluminum Composite sign trays. I quickly tried searching this site, but couldn't find many threads. Can anyone point to somewhere I could find more info on the build? Specifically the corners =)
  2. Plastics

    Does anyone have any links or info comparing different plastics (in relation to signage)? I have a customer looking for 8.5" x 11" prints, approx. 2mm-3mm thick. They will be in a snap frame, and left outdoors. What would you guys use?
  3. service manual sp540i

    Could I get the service manual for SP-540i as well? Also, what is the service mode code?
  4. Cutter not cutting all lines

    Blade and strip is good. It's not a physical problem.
  5. Cutter not cutting all lines

    Shouldn't matter, as I don't usually use the art boards on print or cut files. I did try it anyways, to rule it out, and did not work
  6. Cutter not cutting all lines

    Yes, I know what you mean by looking connected but not. I used the rectangle tools, so it's a solid shape.
  7. Cutter not cutting all lines

    I always use .EPS saved from illustrator The cutter is connected via USB I setup a rectangle in Versaworks, hit repeat 20 times. If there is a missing line, the same one will be missing on all copies
  8. Cutter not cutting all lines

    I can't figure out why my cutter (GX-640) does not finish cutting some shapes - seemingly at random. For instance I have a rectangle with rounded corners. 3 sides will be cut, all the radius corners will be cut, but one side will not get cut. Another weird thing is that, sometimes, it's the...
  9. Weird Banding

    Not sure why this happens on printers. It is really noticeable on this polyester material, but I've seen it on all vinyls. I had a Pro II in the past do this as well. It's not your typical banding issue, and always happens towards one side of the printer (furthest from where the heads rest by...
  10. Versaworks saved jobs

    I'm wondering if it's possible to change the path to where .rvw jobs are saved? C:\Program Files (x86)\Roland VersaWorks\VersaWorks\Printers\VersaExpress\Job-A I've just installed a new drive, and I would like the jobs to be saved on the old drive
  11. Versa Works Contour Cut is Driving Me Crazy!

    Had the same problem. For me, it wasn't transparency, but I had to align the CutContour stroke to the middle.
  12. Stick to flat wrap?

    We often have customers that want a vehicle covered with a flat wrap, and overlaid with cut vinyl. As far as I know, vinyl will not stick to flat wrap. Recently we've seen a vehicle that a competitor did that was white cut vinyl on top of matte black wrap. Wondering if anyone knows how to make...
  13. Inc. Ltd. Co.

    What I get out of that, is if you have a TM, you have to use it frequently to maintain the TM rights. However, that is for something that is TM. I don't know the process, but I don't think .INC, .LLC, etc. includes registering your name / logo as a TM. I take it they are financial protection...
  14. Inc. Ltd. Co.

    In Canada / Ontario, what are the rules for using these marks as part of your logo? Are they required, or no? I hear differently from different people. What about Registered or Trademarked?
  15. Scrap Material

    Still trying to figure this one. I think it will be hard to pull out the back pieces if they are big like 36" x 96" While I'm posting this, here is a simple cheap way to make a stand for vinyl. We have like 30+ rolls standing up behind the printers, sometimes we play dominoes with them -- not...
  16. Scrap Material

    Thanks guys. I'm great at throwing old crap out -- my boss, not so much lol. I have an idea for a rack -- for the bigger stuff we keep. Something along the lines of attached. What do ya think?
  17. Scrap Material

    Looking for good ideas on how to organize our scrap material. We have tons left over coroplast, pvc, foam board, dibond, crezone, and acrylic. It's all piled against the walls in a few places around the shop. Any ideas on a rack that makes sense? Lack of space it still a problem too
  18. Roland GX 640

    The print / cut on our machine is off consistently. I am looking for a service manual so that I can fix it. Thanks
  19. Adding cutter to Versaworks

    Hi guys, I am having issues with getting a cut only machine to work in Versaworks. I've got the cutter hooked up and working with cut studio. But in Versaworks, I cannot add any job to the queue, and I get a message like: "Only files displayed can be dragged and dropped" We are working on a...
  20. Job specialization?

    Thanks guys, I think you are right, we get bottle-necked often. And there will be mistakes made, because some tasks we are not as comfortable / skilled at doing as another person would be. We are four in the shop - there is an installation crew that does most our installs. Still, I would like...
