So I have posted a few times about this wrap that I have done several times and truthfully I’m still very new to printing vehicle graphics but since I do this job so often and print it so often I always see something new that bothers me or I would like to fix. Good learning experience I guess...

So I have printed multiple van wraps of this same design so the file I have has been used and has worked well. I printed one run for the first van which was fine. Then a few days later went to print the second van and the gradient started to shift from blue to magenta. Test print is fine...

So I have been having another issue about missing half a head and while working on this issue I noticed a huge amount of ink everywhere around the capping station. On all the surfaces around it, and a lot of it. There is usually some light mist that I can easily wipe off when I do weekly...

So I have a Roland xc-540 and it doesn't get used a ton but does gets used and I do keep up on maintenance. I hadn't been used in a few weeks and went to run a print and the test print showed the whole left side of the cyan print head was missing. There wasn't any ink what so ever on that...

I have a Roland xc-540, and I am getting a color change in this blue on the last panel. The whole thing is ran at once, but the blue hue changes a little bit. It is the last panel on the run.

So I am trying to recreate a vehicle graphic for a guy and have the design down but can’t get us to print clean enough. I am printing on a Roland xc-540 with Gerber metallic cast vinyl with the generic cast vinyl profile selected for the print below. I have tried different profiles but they...

This print head has been kinda week since we got the machine. Now this is where it is at. I have tried cleanings and a head soak ( maybe 20mins). Is this just at the point of needing to be replaced? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have a fc8000 and have had it for many years now and the media rollers are extremely hard to slide back and forth. I have taken them all apart and cleaned and lubricanted to the best of my ability and they get a little better but nothing like they should be. Anyone have any suggestions on...

So I have a sign warehouse q42 and have cutting master 4 with illustrator. I’m trying to cut some decals I printed from my Roland xc-540 on it but every time I go to cut, it tries to read the first mark and fails and asked if I want to cancel or retry. I know the marks are good and the arms is...

So I have a vinyl express plotter from sign warehouse which is just a rebranded graphtec. Well the glides that the pinch rollers slide on have wore out but signwarehouse won’t sell me replacement parts unless a tech comes out. The plotter is almost 8 years old. Anyone know where I can get the...

So I don’t really know how to explain this but I got a picture. I am not printing to the edge of the media, I have a 1 - 1 1/4 boarder. This is on both sides of the printer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
