We'd like to print and cut our own business cards on our Roland Sp-540v. But we've heard that this is very taxing on the machine as you are cutting through card stock and also all the way through the material, risking messing up your blade strip. We don't mind going through blades, but we don't...

We have been testing out different laminates in different thickness. But our main issue seems to be the drying time the prints needs before we can laminate them. Often we need to print something and then have it sent out that same day or early the next morning. Is there a way to speed up the...

We are trying to cut a thick laminated print, but when our Sp-540v runs over it to make the cuts, the blade is so low (or that material so high) that it leaves little grooves as it skims to the next cut location. I know there is a head height adjustment but it seems this is only for the printer...

Hi Guys, We have a Roland SP-540V that we are trying to use to print, laminate, and cut a 6mil vinyl with a 10mil laminate (have to use three blade passes). Printing goes smoothly but when we reinsert the laminated material, the printer's cuts are slightly off. It has no problem reading the...

We recently started cutting 2mil cast vinyl for one color designs, instead of wasting ink printing. Last week, we had to change the 60 degree blade as it had become severely dull (we thought the blade would last longer than 2 months, but we have been cutting 6mil vinyl a lot so perhaps that...

Hi guys, We've been using a 2 mil metallic cast vinyl for most of our smaller jobs (3x10"). But lately we've been needing to make much larger decals and the 2 mil is just too thin to apply. We're hoping to find something in a 4 or 6 mil. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Complete newbie to the large print world. My company recently purchased a used SP-540V and put me in charge of setting it up and figuring out how to use it. Once we connected the proper crossover cable to both the printer and the computer, they seemed to begin to communicate. I installed the...
