    Sounds like you just posted it - and with a clickbait title:cool:
  3. Does anyone use Corel with a Roland vg2?

    When exporting from Corel (or Illustrator) there is often a setting to convert spot colors to CMYK. If that is selected, you're no longer working in spot colors which defeats the purpose of the Roland color library. This is the first hurdle. Then in Versaworks, on the File format tab of the...
  4. Versa 5.5.1 Halftone Annoyance

    And if you're not able to get the screen you want, use a lower resolution that has the screen you want. You'll likely not be able to tell the difference in the final output without a loupe to look through. Good Luck

    What printer are you profiling?
  6. XC540 Print Quality Issue

    Post a nozzle test here. It could also be that the head got bumped out of alignment. A nozzle test can show a lot more than just the firing of the nozzles.

    Also, make sure that the media is clean.
  8. Advice on Roland xc540 problem

    Try putting a new damper on. There are screens in the dampers that can get clogged. Good Luck
  9. Gold Leaf + Hand Lettering in CO Oregon?

    I don't know of anyone over there that does it anymore. If you're in Portland, contact Lee's Better Letters - https://lblsigns.com/. If he doesn't want to go over there, he'd know of anyone over there that does it. Or try North Pacific Sign & Design Good Luck
  10. Graphtec fc900 blade hitting perf channel

    I'm not exactly sure I understand the question, but there are 2 positions that the knife holder can fit in on the tool carraige. If you want to perf cut over the channel instead of the cut strip, make sure that your blade holder is installed in the front position (this takes quite a bit of...
  11. Mutoh Equipment

    Hi Steve, Not to throw Graphtec under the bus, but all manufacturers orphan equipment at some point. A 20 year old plotter is going to be using a serial port or a parallel port to communicate with and there are no drivers for those, only protocols. Looking back at the oldest Graphtec I can...
  12. My VG-2 is dripping ink everywhere

    Bryce, try doing a damper fill. (No Tech Needed) If the start up sequence doesn't get you into damper fill mode, update your firmware. To enter the Fill Damper Mode, you must power off the printer from the front control panel. Leave the power on in back and press and hold the [Pause] and...
  13. Versa 5.51 and i1Pro 2

    Yeah, you have to set your defaults for that queue to increase the size to about 110%. Then reprint your swatches. Good Luck
  14. Need Help Flexi 21 Continuous Cutting on Graphtec FC9000

    You could just do 5 repeats in the same job and it would read the barcode only once. But if it's a larger job, then you can just send the job 5 times and delete 4 of the jobs in the plotter queue. Good Luck
  15. Flexi Software

    I think the practical difficulties are getting a dense enough print, but you can do it. Load the job into production manager. Open up the job properties and on the color management tab, set up the screen settings that you need (I'm not a screen printer, nor do I play one on TV - so these...
  16. Send to cut without send to print?

    You should be able to send as cut only in Flexi. The HP version may be different, this is from my FlexiSign and Print v21: Good Luck
  17. Question why can't we "jail break" the new ul

    If you're getting the Roland Service contract, it is another year of the same coverage as the original warranty. Parts (heads included) and labor and travel, with the same limitations - no third party inks or parts used, physical damage is not covered, travel is limited to 400 miles from the...
  18. Need Help Does anyone have instructions to replace the dampers on a Roland TrueVis VG 540 ? Thanks

    My first question would be why do you need to replace the damper? We've found that they're pretty stable unless the damper fill arm gets messed up. There isn't a filter screen in it so it shouldn't clog up. But if you need to, service mode isn't necessary. And this is at your own risk. The...
  19. letters coming up on the weed

    Try backing off the force. It sounds counterintuitive, but when I'm do a demonstration on small cuts, I'll set the force 1 or 2 lighter than what I would normally cut at - and replacing the cut strip. Also, are you letting the vinyl sit between cutting and weeding? Sometimes - especially if...
