    We could print this for you, but we are in Canada, not sure if you want to pay cross boarder fees!
  2. Suggestions Looking for a printable PAPER, that has a removable and repositionable adhesive...

    Do any of these adhesive paper products come in 60" wide and ship to Canada? I've been looking for any supplier of 60" wide format adhesive paper that doesn't cost more than Vinyl, there are none in Canada that I know of, unless you are willing to buy 5000 feet.
  3. Need Help XR640 Service manual

    I have the XC-540, not sure how similar it is, I know they have different printheads..
  4. Lamination for UCJV300-160

    Can anyone recommend a 60" wide overlam that comes in gloss and matte for the UCJV300-160? We don't do car wraps, so I'm looking for something cheaper, mainly for labels, stickers, window graphics, etc. Up until now, I've only used Cold Lam with Solvent Ink. Just purchased the Rite Media 65H...
  5. Need Help RasterLink 7 - Variable Data

    I haven't tried the Variable Data yet, but I know RL7 has lots of glitches! I tried printing posters from a 14 page PDF, and I couldn't get RL7 to lay them out the way I wanted to save the most material, so I erased the PDF, separated it into individual files and reloaded. I manage to get those...
  6. Need Help Replaced leaking head. New one doesn't work

    Make sure the ribbon cable is installed properly and try changing the fuse. Have some extra fuses on hand because if something else is wrong it will pop again. I ended u scrapping my Roland after a similar issue, replaced the head and everything seemed to work fine except it would not fire any...
  7. FAYON electric trimmer

    I was looking at a FAYON laminator and asked them about the electric trimmers, they are out of stock and have stopped manufacturing them. So if you are able to pick one up from a local dealer, I wouldn't wait too long to decide!
  8. Paper-faced adhesive stock for labels?

    I'm interested in the Mactac paper, I was not aware they would sell wide format paper rolls, do you need to buy a whole master? Or will they sell one 60" roll at 150 feet? I searched the website for MSGLAB54300 and nothing comes up.. Do you have a direct link?

  10. Need Help Getting good grey color out of my printer. Roland xc -540

    You said you are new at this, so the first thing you need to do is make sure you have [Convert Spot Color] checked in the [File Format] tab, otherwise Versa Works will not even recognize your Roland Spot Colors. After you have done that, then you can play around with different profile settings.
  11. Simple Vinyl Sticker Printing. (low end)

    If you have a sales rep in the professional printing world, would he really be interested in selling small quantities from a BN20? Don't waste your time, start with a used wide format if you can't afford new, and the added cut feature is quite useful unless you have a 2nd machine for cutting.
  12. General Formulations Holographic

    How's the GF holo? I was thinking about buying some, but I'm not sure about the "short-term" outdoors, how long is short term?
  13. From Layering to Printed? Gloss Vinyl Printer Questions

    You can achieve the matte black and gloss black, raised print, with Mimaki UCJV300 but if you laminate the prints, I think you would lose the two tone effect.
  14. Silver Mirror Chrome Long Life

    I've used Vinyl EFX Smooth Silver without lamination and it turns white in the Sun after 3 years, I'm not sure how much longer lamination would make it last?
  15. Replacing vinyl in a retractable banner stand.

    Banner tape, and/or a scrap piece of vinyl front and back for extra hold.
  16. Split back liner?

    The Mimaki has a double cut feature where you can set the position and pressure of the first cut to just kiss cut the sticker, then you can offset the cut by 1/8" or what ever you choose and do a deeper perf cut to cut the liner, making the sticker removal easier and no need for a back slit.
  17. Need Help Mac/Apple Freehand 7 to Illustrator

    I have access to an Windows XP machine, so if I can get a copy of Freehand 7 or above, it should be able to open the Mac files and convert to something Ai can open? Or am I better off getting a copy of Illustrator CS5?
  18. Need Help Mac/Apple Freehand 7 to Illustrator

    Thanks for the info, but I don't have access to Freehand, the company we used to work with went out of business, and they gave us a back up of all our art files, but a lot of the older files are saved in Freehand which we can not open. For the odd file here and there I have recreated the...
  19. Need Help Mac/Apple Freehand 7 to Illustrator

    I have a lot of old Mac files from a design firm we used for 20+ years, occasionally we need to access old artwork to produce new printing plates. They used Mac's and I believe the older files were designed in Freehand 7. Does any one know how to convert the files to a Windows editable format...
  20. Circle sticker issues

    I would print on 60" material with the heat low, like 35 or 36, I believe 34 is OFF? Being a boarder/bleed job, and using aftermarket inks, I would print crop marks, and let the prints dry for a day or 2, and put them back in and it cut like a charm. I don't have any Rolands anymore, just the...
