  1. Gerber Composer 6.5 to ONYX color issues

    Composer is only terrible if you don't know how to use it - just like Illustrator. It's a great program for designing signs in - even if you're going to be digitally printing (including other than Edge prints) I'm sure there are just some settings that are not tweaked the way they were before...
  2. Composer Vs. Illustrator

    I grew up on Composer as well. I think one of the best things and most underutilized features is the Natural Layout tool based on Mike Stevens' Mastering Layout. Probably the ones that would value it most are the ones who do it naturally by now - the old salty dogs in this crowd.
  3. Need Help Flora 1816UV Flatbed Printer

    https://signs101.com/resources/american-printing-systems.59/ APS is a merchant member and the new Flora distributor here in the states.
  4. Need Help vs 640 random slight magenta squares and forms in printouts

    If it is consistently in the same spot, I would lean first towards the encoder strip, then to the ribbon cables that go from the main board up to the print carriage. Try cleaning the encoder strip again with a little more vigor using isopropyl alcohol and a lint free rag - or I usually use an...
  5. Roland Truevis SG540

    If you didn't damage the head, you may have just knocked it out of alignment physically. Can you post a picture of the bottom of the print heads?
  6. Question Need to pick the brain of an illustrator guru.

    Johnny Cash told me that was the name of his son...:eek:
  7. Night Pictures are printing to dark

    In general, if you're not fully color managed, an RGB file will give you better color.
  8. Need Help ROLAND VERSAWORKS DEVICE NOT FOUND HELP!

    Hmm... I've run into this before. You give the command to ping one address and it tries to ping another. I would go into the ethernet adapter settings and manually configure the IP address to a completely different range like 10.1.1.100, with the subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0. No gateway...
  9. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    Look at what the page length is set to in the media menu. It may just be set too short. Also, I've had better luck loading print cut sheets as sheets. It sounds like your margins are fine. Good luck.
  10. Roland VS-540 - black head with over-spray and missing nozzles

    How long was it left unplugged? How long since you've replaced the cap top? Dampers? OEM ink? Did you check the cables?
  11. Suggestions Bordeaux or Nutec

    Nutec is made right in your neighborhood. I don't have any experience with their Mimaki line, but I'm sure it's as good as the others that I've tried. They have a long history in making inks and are actually OEM ink suppliers for some big name printers. I don't think you can go wrong with Nutec
  12. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    What option are you loading it with? Roll 1, Roll 2 or sheet? How far from the pinch wheels are the reg marks? How far from the back edge of the vinyl?
  13. Need Help VersaExpress RF 640 not printing

    My best guess would be that ink got somewhere that it shouldn't have and at the very least, you blew a fuse on the main board. At the worst, you could have fried the print head itself, which then blew the fuse on the main board.
  14. Having trouble filling in

    I don't know how it will work with multiple shapes on top of each other, but you can also select the shape and right click and choose "Close Path" from the menu. This will only work if your end points are within the tolerance for this tool in Flexi. If the start and end points are not close...
  15. Need Help ROLAND VERSAWORKS DEVICE NOT FOUND HELP!

    Depending on your OS - Windows 10, right click on your Windows icon in the lower left corner and select Windows Powershell (Admin) - or previous windows versions, go to the start menu and type CMD in the run window. When the black box pops up type in "Ping 169.254.253.060" (without the quote...
  16. Having trouble filling in

    Are those created in Flexi or imported from somewhere else? There are a couple of things that I can think of here. Is wireframe checked in fill stroke editor? Are the shapes closed shapes? You can't fill and open shape. Try selecting the shapes and then click on the join paths tool in the...
  17. FC8600 Contour Cut Off

    It appears to be off left and right only? Is that correct. You should focus on the Y axis system. Is the belt tensioned properly? Is the motor pulley belt tight and in good shape? Have you performed the distance adjustment in the adjustment menu (service mode)? Also, as Wayne pointed out...
  18. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    Try putting your cut lines on a separate layer and move that layer to the top.
  19. Need Help ROLAND VERSAWORKS DEVICE NOT FOUND HELP!

    Can you ping the XC?
  20. Roland VG error Codes?

    Yup, 0109 is the same on the TruVis printers. Do a hard shut down, front and back and let it sit unplugged for a few minutes then keep an eye on the wiper when you boot back up. It should reset itself. If it passes that ok, then try to run a normal cleaning and keep an eye on the wiper. See...
