This is probably coming from the program that is creating the files. If you were to create the same file in Flexi, it would give you smooth Bezier curves (assuming you're using a good font). I've seen this happen (though not recently) coming from cad programs (like autocad) that are oriented...

It can mess with solvent printers too, but not as quickly. They should swap out that roll for a newer one. This is a problem with the vinyl, not the printer. The newer printers have the roller, but even that won't overcome severe plasticizer migration. They've just had that roll sitting...

That's pretty typical of vinyls that have a thin liner. Moisture gets into the liner and it will swell. It can also happen when putting a roll of cold media (like it just came off the truck in the winter) on the printer without allowing it to acclimate to the print room conditions - but...

The Flexi Sign swatch for 580, 680-64 gives an RGB value of 166,119,59. Give it a shot.

Don't feel too bad. Probably every 3rd or 4th install that I do, I'll get distracted and forget to put the knifeholder in at all till after I spend a couple of minutes looking for the test cut to weed it out.

That's the problem white Haus. The queue settings don't include perfcut settings. Let your Roland dealers and reps know that this is a major need in VersaWorks and VWDual. Maybe if they get enough requests, it will make it to the drawing board.

First things first, Doc. You're doing the right thing and won't regret anything that happens in the shop. Prayers are with you and your father.

Glad I could help.

Like Julie said, Make sure the blade holder is all the way down to the flange and the screw is snugged up tight (don't over tighten it). If it still doesn't come down, try turning off the printer and unplugging it for a while. While it's off, manually press the blade holder down and make sure...

I think you're better off buying locally. You'll get better support that way when something goes wrong or you need some advice.

Silver Metallic in a Roland VSi or XR printer will do that, plus mix with CMYK to get gold, bronze, and other metallic colors, but it is really slow to get that quality and you can only get it on gloss vinyl without a laminate. Once you vary from that formula, the polished quality diminishes...

From what I've heard (and it's been a while) it's not too difficult to calibrate the printer to do well on solid spot colors, but then your image files will have banding, or you can calibrate for image files and your spot colors will have banding. The difficulty comes in trying to get both...

I've just put a piece of masking tape over the tab in a pinch. That will get you through the night.

If you've got new dampers in already, and since they work with the old head, put the new head back in. But if you sucked air with the syringe, you may have a bad cap top or something on the bottom of the head that is preventing a good tight seal. Make sure you get solid ink flow with no air...

It does look like your cyan/magenta head is knocked out of alignment. Luckily, it is still printing well. Those heads are not individually adjustable. My guess would be that if you looked at the bottom of the heads, head 2 might not be in there flat. The other possibility is that it is still...

Flexi comes with some of the models included in the price. If you decide to use the Flexi RIP, you don't have to use the design side of it. You can just open up most common file types in Production Manager and print from there.

I should have asked you to post a picture of the nozzle test. There is more that can be learned from a nozzle test than if all nozzles are firing. I would guess that the nozzle test is not perfect, but would actually show the misalignment. Do the center colors overlap? Or is there a gap...

What does the nozzle test print look like?

That's really not that unusual. Like Nate said, clean it off an move on.

Just make sure that the artwork from the business card will look good enough at full size. That's quite a jump in size.
