  1. Roland VG-540i

    Call your dealer and talk with a tech. They can get them.
  2. Need Help acrylic cracking after applying vinyl.

    How long after printing did you apply the white vinyl? If you trap the solvents from the ink by laminating too soon, you can force the solvents to out gas through the clear and adhesive.
  3. Roland Eco Sol Max

    This is almost always caused by a poor cap top seal. The printer counts down the ink it uses (or actually thinks it uses) during cleaning cycles. If the seal isn't good (due to poor maintenance, age or defective cap tops, the pumps suck air rather than ink. Once it writes down the chip...
  4. Media Does not exist

    Close Flexi and restart it. It should refresh the media from the printer when you go to the quality tab in Rip and Print. Good Luck
  5. Electrostatic Graphtec Flatbed

    The electrostatic hold down works well. But if you cut into the bed, you'll ruin it and it's not considered to be a replaceable part really. The vacuum table is what we typically sell most often.
  6. 2 Rolands 1 Print

    Don't rule this out just because you haven't had problems in the past. It appears from the pics you posted that yellow isn't firing as it should on the print on the right. You didn't post a print of the nozzle test - that's always where I start.
  7. Some customers...

    No matter how simple your instructions are, you'll eventually run into someone even more simple than the instructions. Sometimes you just can't win.
  8. HP Post-Warranty Service Plan...

    The price is cheaper if you buy the service contract at the same time you purchase the printer. After that it goes up. Once the printer is out of warranty, I don't think you can get a service contract on it, but they may have a grace period. You could opt to self serve if you choose. Some...
  9. What is Flexi Sign & Print 12 worth?

    Mutoh edition only runs Mutoh printers. Since I think every Mutoh printer ships with Mutoh Edition Flexi, there's probably not much demand for that package. It could be used as an upgrade discount I suppose. Flexi should give some credit for that towards a full version of Flexi, but since...
  10. Need Help Roland XC-540 - 3 of 6 print heads not printing at all

    Unfortunately, this level of maintenance and usage doesn't cut it. You've got one head in each group printing, so you don't have blown fuses. If you haven't been messing with cables, or ink lines or anything physically, then you probably just have clogged heads. I would start with replacing...
  11. Question about Service note VG-540

    0380 is a damper failure to fill error. 0080 refers to the right channel of head 4. First I would make sure that you have plenty of ink in Ink slot 5 which feeds the right side of head 4. If you have plenty of ink, in my experience, it could be a problem with the sensor that reads the empty...
  12. Need Help Roland SP-540i - Doesn't want to Contour Cut correctly.....

    The tip of your blade is broken off. Also, there should be a cap on the cutting end of the blade holder with a hole in to limit the amount of blade exposed. That's missing. Again, not really the main problem here, but definitely a problem. Get a new blade and blade holder.
  13. TR2 Ink Conversion for Roland Printers

    Hey All, The conversion isn't all that traumatic if done by the book. We've had several customers do it with little help from us. You have to update to the latest TR firmware first, then update to the earliest TR2 firmware before updating to later versions of it. Yes, you will end up loosing...
  14. Die Cut Stickers on Roland VG 540?

    I think he's looking to do perf cut, not just print/cut. Check out this list.
  15. Suggestions Gerber FX chirping

    OK. Have you lubricated the Edge lately? Gerber has a document on how to properly lubricate the Z axis screw, which this likely is. It's kind of a PITA to get to, but I think it should help you. I think you'll have to create an account to get there, but here's the link to the document.
  16. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    That I can't tell you. The machines ship with the standard roller installed - this is the roller that sits right above the vinyl roll. You have to swap it out for the foam roller (that absorbs the plasticizer.) I've not had any customers tell me that it works or doesn't. Sorry.
  17. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    Yeah. HP addressed that concern in the 500 series with a roller designed to remove plasticizer from the surface of the media as it goes in to the printer.
  18. Print and Cut Off

    It is standard, but some are the clear disk like you mentioned and some are enclosed in a device that sits on the back end of the feed motor.
  19. Need Help Vp540 missing Long Clear Plexi cover in front - does this affect dry times?

    The VP was actually produced for a while without the front cover. I thought it was great. Unfortunately, some people couldn't keep their fingers out of the print zone while the printer was working, so Roland had to put it back on. It really won't help with drying though. Air circulation as...
