  1. I want to kick some Flexi azz!!!

    +1
  2. sp540

    Yes and Yes (versions with RIP).
  3. Dull Colors with VP-540i and Flexipro 8.6

    Just my opinion, but most users seem to get better and more vibrant colors from the Versaworks RIP. It also has color setups that are designed for color pop (Max Impact color management preset for example).
  4. Whats up with this nozzle check?

    Cross-contamination. Run cleanings, and if that doesn't clear up, change dampers.
  5. Bright Orange using Versacamm?

    That is a good analogy to use with customers. However, upon further testing, when using the Roland Color System, the color management preset used is irrelevant, as the RCS bypasses ICC-based color management settings (for those colors only) such as working space and rendering intent.
  6. Profile Help

    The first issue is to verify the nozzle performance of the machine. Run a Nozzle Test print for this. Cleanings/ syringing/ head replacement as needed to get the machine into a functional state. Next, I would recommend updating the RIP software. You are not going to find much in the way of...
  7. Magenta shadow on Black

    To answer your question: An ICC-based workflow will always change the build values for RGB and CMYK-based colors. If you create a color black using 0,0,0,100, the RIP will reinterpret the color and print it using another build, one that takes into account the media that you are printing on...
  8. What exactly does the encoder strip affect?

    I would give partial credit for this answer. The linear encoder is used in print operation, but not when cutting. Also, it has nothing to do with how much ink will be laid down on the media. The linear encoder strip is only about Where the print carriage is located across the width of the print...
  9. How do I get this powerpoint file into Flexi

    For what reason are you wanting to open the PDF in Flexi? If it is to output the file, you don't need to open first in Flexi. You can load the file directly into the RIP (Production Manager) application and print from there. If you are needing to edit the file, you will probably have better...
  10. Royal Sov. Laminator Question

    Successfully running a laminator is almost all technique-driven. Royal Sovereign does not generally recommend using kraft backing paper with their cold machines. Here is a link to a video that shows their recommended technique for loading the machine: http://royalsovereign.com/products/video/5
  11. please help switched inks and nothing looks right

    Yours is a cautionary tale that should be repeated to everyone who considers switching ink brands. There is no such thing (in my opinion anyway) as 'generic' ink or media. Switching inks will absolutely, positively have an effect on your color output. It may be a somewhat modest change, or it...
  12. can you laminate a scrim banner?

    You would never laminate scrim banner using film laminate, due to the non-flat nature of the media...liquid lam is possible though.
  13. Feed Motor error 0008

    From the Roland Web Site: This is a feed motor over current error where a light load is put on the motor movement over a long period of time. Turn the power off, clear any media jam that may have occurred and turn the printer back on. If the error continues, please contact your local Roland...
  14. Bright Orange using Versacamm?

    I agree with using the Roland Color System of spot colors, with the Max Impact Color Management Preset.
  15. Help with profile in Versaworks 4

    Where are the ink limits set in the media that you downloaded from Oracal (CMYK individual ink limits and total ink limit)? Also, do you have a spectro to build a new Media Profile?
  16. PNC5000- how to hook it up to PC?

    The Roland PNC5000 contained a traditional printer port. A parallel cable would have been used for it's PC-based interface. USB did not even exist in 1995 when the machine was introduced.
  17. Spot ON PMS Color matching software...

    This is a Versaworks SPOT Color Library file that this company has built and is marketing. Anyone with a Spectrophotometer that can take spot reads, and is supported by Versaworks, along with a Pantone Swatch Book can build the equivalent of this, though it takes time to do so.
  18. Roland color chart on trans vinyl...

    Change your default media for 'Queue A' first (Edit > Queue A Settings > Quality Tab > Media Type list box). Change the other desired settings (overprint etc) Then print the swatch chart as normal.
  19. Roland SP-540 Getting Brown instead of Red

    Using the Density Control Only setting effectively turns off all ICC profiles and rendering intents for that job. This setting should be used while creating a new media/ profiling. Doing this for production jobs is probably a mixed bag: It can produce more vibrant solid colors (as you are...
  20. Roland AJ1000 History Report

    That file format is generated from the Roland service Peck application. It is encoded and thus is available to be read by Roland service engineers only.
