  1. Printing Problem

    Do you get this when printing on Gerber materials? Are you using Gerber foils? I know it sounds like a Gerber distributor looking for a quick buck, but using their foils with their vinyl and the appropriate settings in quickplot will help you determine if this is a machine problem or a media...
  2. Gerber Edge 2 printing issues

    Yeah, what vinyl are you printing on?
  3. Avery Failures Return

    This proves the point, I think. Avery made a minor change to their 1005 vinyl and gave it a new number - 1105. If they made that drastic of a change to their flagship product, they would be advertising all over the place and give it a new product number.
  4. Ice cream maker needs printing help

    Not sure if this applies, but if this is labeling for a food product that is going to be sold or given to the public, are there restrictions as to food safety in regards to the ink? I seem to remember from a long time back that food labeling needs to meet some FDA requirements even for indirect...
  5. Soljet Pro 4 640 woes...

    be aware that most warranties - including Roland's - do not cover physical damage to the head. The warranties are basically for defects in materials and workmanship and specifically exclude misuse and abuse. So if there's a scratch on the bottom of the head, you may be on the hook for it.
  6. Soljet Pro 4 640 woes...

    +1 for what VanderJ said. Also take a look at the bottom of the print head and see if there is any physical damage to the nozzle plate. Check the condition of your cap top - clean or replace as necessary.
  7. employee freelancing...........

    seems like if she signed the contract stating she wouldn't freelance or moonlight or compete against her employer, you have the right to demand she stop or face disciplinary action up to and including termination. The next question you have to answer is this: Is she doing more damage to your...
  8. Layover Wrap

    What color of adhesive is on the 3m media? this might be enough to block out the old graphics. If you go with option 2, then use a gray vinyl instead of white - much better opacity to cover the old graphics. I think if the old wrap is stuck tight, you should be able to go over the top...
  9. Where to buy original parts for Roland VP540?

    Go to Roland's website and search for a dealer in your area. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  10. Need Help No colour vibrancy on Roland BN20

    The BN-20 is quite capable of hitting the same color gamut as the VS series printers can. I have seen very high quality prints come off of a BN-20 printer. I think most here are correct in assuming that the color settings in your RIP need to be fine tuned. There are a lot of variables that...
  11. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Then I think you'll have to go with the clear film like Big Fish says and just print to whatever opacity you need. If the film were 70% opaque, one side of the print would look 70% dark and the other side would look normal. Unless I'm still not understanding what you're trying to do. You...
  12. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Then are you wanting to print on it or just want a neutral gray film or what are they trying to accomplish with this?
  13. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Are you talking about a 70/30 window perf material?
  14. Discussion Yellow Discoloration Spots in Avery MPI1105 EZRS HP Latex Printed, Laminated with Avery DOL 1360Z

    How old was the paint job? Do the spots coincide with where the body work was?
  15. Updating Firmware on GX-500 cutter

    Are you sure you have 32 bit Windows 10? Most Windows 10 installs are 64 bit. I think the Zip file is corrupted the installer is only a 1 KB file. For comparison, the updater program (not including the firmware) for an XR is 2MB. Roland should get this fixed soon.
  16. 3M MCS Certified Printer Suggestions

    Try printing uni-directional. If the problem goes away, you need to dial in your bi-directional calibrations.
  17. Need Help SP300V Carriage Head Alignment.

    As VanderJ said, it's rare - and I'll add very rare - that this adjustment needs to be done. The captops don't need to be centered, they just need to cover the nozzles when capped. This is a good example of "If it ain't broke..." If your ink is flowing, then the caps are doing their job and...
  18. Printing issue

    I would try reseating all the cables (with the Edge unplugged of course). Also, make sure that the grounding strap at the back, between the base and the head is in good shape.
  19. Smalt Glue

    Have you tried Pacific Coast Sign Supply? They're my local competitor on a bunch of things, but do have a good selection of "old school" sign supplies.
  20. Need Help Problem with Gerber Dimension 200X

    Most of the time that I've seen that happen is when the bit is slipping. Make sure that the collet and the bit shaft are clean and then tighten the nut completely. Also make sure that you're using a metric collet if the bit is metric or an SAE collet if the bit is a fraction of an inch.
