  1. Does an actual vinyl exist with magnetic capabilities?

    Or... Multipanel makes an ACM-like product with white steel skins instead of aluminum. Not sure if this would help or not.I'm not sure who would sell it up there. Good luck.
  2. TrueVIS SG-540

    While that may be true in your case, it is an atypical situation. Signrios, I think it would be a smooth transition for you moving to another Roland machine. If you've been using Versa Works, then Versa Works Dual will be no problem converting over to. Make sure that you take some time to...
  3. Discussion Why is this so common in most threads concerning costs........................??

    Tex, I don't think this about learning new things, new techniques or about new products. I think that the post is more about not diving to the bottom of the price pool, where there's no money to be made. I had a customer long ago tell me, after I told him about an increase in the price of the...
  4. Need Help Sp 300v Not cutting all the cutline that's showing in versacamm

    Hi Lisa, Make sure that you have an EPS margin of about .01 inches in your File Format tab of the Queue default properties. This needs to be set before you bring the job into VersaWorks. Basically VW thinks that your file ends at the edge of your artwork and it's hit or miss if it cuts a...
  5. Strange blue random lines of varying width showing up in the same area

    Good thought. I would say encoder strip as my first guess too. You might try cleaning it again. Sometimes you just move the problem (contaminates) down the strip. I usually clean in one direction and use a couple of alcohol wipes to get it done. If that still doesn't fix it, I would suspect...

  7. Need Help Flora Flatbed

    I've worked with Jay a few times. He really knows his stuff.
  8. Help! Edge 2 foils won't advance

    Call Gerber support or a dealer. Pay the fee. It's probably the clutches, but it sounds like you have other issues as well. Make a list of all the issues before you call and maximize the value of the call. They are very good about helping you out. I really hope that you (and all shops)...
  9. Need Help Probably a stupid question.....

    Interesting question. Can you give a sample piece to a powder coater to run with another project? Color wouldn't matter, just to test the process?
  10. VS-540

    The message you reported is because the machine "thinks" there's something over the media sensor. If this were the punch lever sensor, you'd get a message to lower the pinch wheels. The media sensor can get stuff just sitting on it, besides someone intentionally covering the sensor. If you...
  11. Need Help Roland VS640

    1. Is your Ultrasonic cleaner compatible with solvents? I don't think most of them are. You don't want to ruin your machine trying to salvage a dead head. 2. I loved into ultrasonic cleaneda a while back and found the results to be inconsistent once you got past the manufacturer's advertising...
  12. Need Help Ink Cartridge Age Question

    Yup, that's how you do it. If you start introducing variables like "generic" options over OEM fluids, you're playing a game of roulette. If you have time to experiment, you can use whatever you want. I wouldn't.
  13. Need Help Roland VS640

    If it doesn't change when you do a cleaning, it's most likely clogged and you'll need to replace the head.
  14. VS-540

    1. Make sure that there isn't any tape left over rear media sensor. Sometimes people will cover this for various reasons. 2. No Roland won't talk to your customers about color management. You need to educate yourself so you can explain the limitations and, better yet, improve your chances of...
  15. Suggestions Creating a icc profile for window perf

    Add pointed out, you can't make a reliable profile for perf film. Even if you profiled the unpunched media, the effect of the holes adds a percentage of black to the image that you can't account for either. So you'll probably need to lighten up the artwork for the perf printing to get it...
  16. Are you noticing vendors going direct?

    Well, this is a little out of my normal category of response, but we (Denco Sales) for one do not deal with end users. If someone finds us and wants to buy from us, we generally refer them to 3 of our sign shop customers in their area. We've had a sign shop send a customer to us for ZIP...
  17. What kind of PC do you get for large format files .tiffs and such

    I'd look at what your software requirements are (minimums) and what the recommended specs are. Different RIPs will be able to make use of different features more effectively than others can. Is your RIP software up to date? There have been some improvements to the software. But as pointed...
  18. Need Help Flexi Sign Bezier question

    What method are you using to vectorize the artwork? Have you tried playing with the settings or using enhanced curves? Using the optimize by curve is probably the easiest way to turn a bunch of points into a single curve and 3 pont arc is my next favorite.
  19. Need Help Ink Cartridge Age Question

    If you're having problems, then I would flush the lines (at least the ones you're having problems with) with cleaning cartridges. Pull with a syringe above the damper alternating cleaning fluid and air till the fluid comes through clean and replace the damper. Hopefully this will get you a...
