The next step would be to initialize the software then. Make a note of your IP address before you do this as it's a pain to find it other ways on that printer. Once you have the IP address of your printer, then go to the start menu, look for the Roland VersaWorks folder, then click on...

If color accuracy and consistency is a thing for you, then you need to get a spectrophotometer and learn to do it right. But, understand that this won't guarantee that you'll be able to hit all of the colors that you want to. There are limits to the gamut of any device. If you can't do that...

In general (I have NO EXPERIENCE with Colorado inks, just so you know) UV inks will have a 1 year life from the date of manufacture. This has a bit of cushion built into it, but they cannot control how the ink is stored after it leaves their facilities. UV inks are more sensitive to...

Roland has actually re-engineered their dampers to work better on their printers. They may work just fine, but I'd contact a Mutoh dealer and get the genuine Mutoh dampers for that printer. Better safe than sorry. Good Luck

Clear out your queues. You've probably got too much loaded in there. I recommend my customers remove jobs from the queues once the customer pays for the job.

You need to install the printer driver when you set up the printer in VW. Make a note of the IP address, then remove the printer from VW and add it in again. Look for the option to add the printer driver, then it will show up in your windows printer list and you can send jobs to VW using the...

These CMYK values are based on offset printing using vastly different inks than most of us are using. So the CMYK formulas that you find on a Pantone cross reference - either the book or the web lookup - may get you close, but likely won't be a match - (here's where you need to decide what Delta...

Good Catch - I went back and looked and yes, I can see a little shift in 4 and a slighter shift in 3. It's not as obvious as 1 and 2 though (and a picture is never as good as the actual print). With all of them having some shift, I would do the bias alignment - which is done on the full...

I would leave these in. That will keep your ink system sealed up. If you take them out, likely the ink in the tubes will leak out at one end or the other.

We deliver new, assembled printers, plotters and laminators regularly. You can leave them assembled. Lock down any moving parts with supplied brackets or tape, so they don't shift during the trip. Set the wheel brakes and strap them carefully to the trailer (we actually use a box truck for our...

It's been many years since I've used Monaco, but check and see if there is an option to optimize your grays - it may involve printing another set of swatches that are mostly gray, but vary by a little bit. Also, check to make sure that your illuminant setting is either D50 or D65 when you...

It looks to me like your head 1 and possibly head 2 have been knocked out of alignment and need to be re-seated. You may also need to replace one or both of them. I don't think that this is affecting your color issue though, but is probably contributing to your overspray issue. It also looks...

You'll also want as many pinch wheels on the reflective as you can fit. We usually add one or two extras when selling these plotters to a road sign shop. Then, make sure you get the blade depth set correctly and make sure your blade isn't chipped or worn. The new loupe that comes with these...

She must be out back in the woods...;)

That's because it has nothing to do with the OP

Also, which white foil are you using? Make sure your using the correct foil assignment in composer.

Start with the basics - replace your cap tops - use genuine Roland cap tops, wiper and make sure you clean the bottom of your print heads. Do a couple of cleanings and check it out. Next step would be to replace dampers - again, I'm a big fan of OEM parts here too. Be careful that you don't...

Hey Charles, It's too bad that your boss doesn't see the value in strong color management skills. They will easily pay for the cost of training - especially since you're trying to manage 4 printers. If they're all running off of Onyx, then you're a step ahead. I would check out Onyx's...

Do yourself a favor and spend $20 on a thermometer/hygrometer that you can keep in your print area. At least then you'll know if your humidity is too low/high or just right. But there are other things that can contribute to this and they can all sort of pile up on top of each other to the...

You state the temperature, but humidity has a greater effect on static then temperature does. What's the relative humidity in the room? A hygrometer is a cheap investment for tracking down these gremlins. It looks like the pinch wheels are charging the vinyl when they rest, which is attracting...
