Would you mind sharing more detailed/hi-res photos? I've been kicking around the idea of scaling up and building off the design of the cutter I've already got, and I'd love to see how you tackled it up close. Thanks!

To clarify, yes, I still have mine. It's the small model that doesn't use olfa / snap-off blades, it just has a delrin fixed razor blade holder that accepts the flat rectangular blades that have a square hole in them. The reason I was asking what happened to the company is because I'd like...

Wow, you're AWESOME. :) Thank you!

Note: Sorry for the bad quality photo, it's the only one I could find of the cutter and it was sitting in the background, so I had to crop everything else out and zoom in on the cutter. Does anyone remember this cutter? I believe it was called a "linear cutter" or "linear slicer" The first...

This is EXACTLY what I was going to suggest, but instead of really strong magnets, I was thinking just stick strips of 3/16" 409 (magnetic) stainless steel to the inside of the door skin (horizontally) using a product like 3M 467MP.

I got tired of having to use a headlamp or hold a flashlight to see calibration prints etc, so I bought a cheap set of self-stick, low-voltage, LED strip-lighting meant for under-cabinet installation, I removed the top panels of my Roland XC-540, set them upside down on my workbench, and I...

Thank you for the good info!

Ugg. Like a dummy, I was moving the dampers around and I heard the sound you never want to hear (CRACK), and the damper on my BRAND NEW black DX4 printhead went loose. I quickly found out that I had snapped the plastic nipple off inside the damper! So in a panic, I grabbed one of the old...

I have worked with them in the past, and they're great.. I had just hoped to get some pricing from an alternate vendor. There's got to be other companies just like them around the country! :) Any other suggestions?

As title suggests.. My customer orders large quantities of cut vinyl graphics from me in a few specific colors that they use to install onto equipment that they sell to end users. (They're a manufacturer). They approached me with a request for rolls of the same colors of vinyl, that they need...

Hey! I was recently performing a height adjustment to the capping station and I noticed something weird that bothers me. The capping station has a slight (but noticable) tilt to it, that changes direction depending on the direction of travel. When moving down, it tilts slightly to the right...

The sticker thing is a REALLY good idea! I'm a worry wort, and I usually end up worrying SO much about super important things like this, that it frazzles my brain to the point that I end up doing the ONE thing that I was hyperfocused on worrying about! Lol. So putting a sticker over the power...

As the title suggests, I've had to move out of my current shop pretty suddenly.. I've got everything out except for my Roland XC540. I vaguely remember moving it in some years ago, and I do remember I had 3 or 4 guys help me carry it up the stairs and into my shop, where we set it onto the...

After getting into 3D printing and learning about how 3D printers, inkjets, routers, etc are all very similar in how they function, the thought came to me.. My Roland XC540 is basically 95% of a flatbed printer, and (in very over-simplified terms) the only fundamental difference is that...

Check the channel that the cutoff blade recesses into while cutting to make sure there's no obstructions and make sure your cutting strip isnt installed wrong or somehow in the way of the cutoff blade. The plotting knife should be on top of the strip when it's cutting, but the sheet cuttonc...

I'm going to be replacing the old fourecent coffer lights in my studio, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what the best type of replacement would be? I know they make led retrofit kits that would allow me to gut the original fixtures, and install new guts that can accept LED...

I'm using a Roland Solejet III - XC540, with Versaworks running Roland Ecosol max inks. I've tried various Oracal and 3M IJ vinyl's, and as far as profiles go, I've never really used one that was specific for the material.. i've always just used the stock profiles built into Versaworks...

I have a very good customer who does a lot of volume with me, and they recently approached me about replacing their custom paint job that they do on every single vehicle that they sell, with an equivalent (looking) wrap. Here are the details, so you understand what I'm asking.. This customer...

Hey Forum. I bought a Roland SoleJet Pro III (xc-540) about 5 years ago as a demo unit from the ISA show. Let me give you a little back story here to understand my situation. I work for a family business (nothing to do with the sign industry), and some years back, I realized how much money we...

Hey guys, I have a couple questions for shops that are Union. It doesn't seem like there is a strong Union presence in our industry (nationwide at least). Am I missing something? There's one "local" in my area called International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, but I'm not sure if...
