  1. SP-540 Networking...ugh

    We moved our SP-540V from one of our locations to another and we're having difficulty seeing it on the network. This is a working production machine that was doing great before. It needed a new cut carriage cable, which we installed without issue. Now it is throwing no errors but we just can't...
  2. Unclearable pinch roll errors SP-540v

    I'm looking to fix my unclearable pinch roll errors on our Roland Versacamm SP-540v. This problem started when the encoder strip (which is basically new within the last couple of months) got dirty and needed a cleaning. A few prints later, the pinch roll errors started. Sometimes it's the left...
  3. Grand + Benedicts?

    Has anyone run into a company called Grand + Benedicts out of Oregon? They are the breakers who get called in to de-image and clear out defunct retail stores. I got a call from them to help break a Dollar Tree store at the local mall. Gave them a fair price to remove cut/cap/make-safe and remove...
  4. Reflective Cutting Vinyl in colors/air egress?

    Some vendors make white cutting vinyl in rapid air egress but we're looking for reflective vinyl in colors (gold, black, red). Fellers sells white for inkjet but printing blobs of color is not a good use of our 2 solvent printers if you can buy it in the color you need. Any ideas?
  5. Question Roland VS-540 Prints going into the ditch

    This is a VS-540 about 5 years old, set up for LcCLmMYKWW. Had been having some banding issues, mostly in blue. They were bad, but not completely terrible. Tech suggested a manual cleaning, cap replacement and a powerful cleaning. Cap replacement was easy, and did a very solid clean of the head...
  6. Looking for colored banner material supplier

    Lots of places sell black, yellow, red, blue, and other vinyl banner blanks, but I'm looking for roll stock in these colors. We cut and stitch custom sizes and stitch things like pole pockets. I've hunted high and low but I cannot find a vendor. US cutters sent us a color card but then they seem...
  7. Workflow software that is NOT subscription based?

    I'm looking for a recommendation for workflow software that is NOT a software-as-a-service, subscription based product. We don't mind paying money for good software, but I'm allergic to monthly payments to anything but the mortgage. I am not fussy if it's PC or Mac (we use both), I don't care...
  8. Roland SP-540 "Now Heating..." never shuts off

    We have a SP-540 generally works great, a few quirks but we like it. Recently we've encountered some problems, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen the same thing. When a print starts and the heater fires up, sometimes it will go into pre-heating mode and just stay there. It will say "Now...
  9. SP540 Cutmark Detection Error during Print/Lam/Cut

    I'm doing our first contour cut on a refurb SP540 we recently purchased. Dealer is shut down for the holidays and not answering the phones. I'm trying to do a print/lam/cut with a decal on GCVP. The print came out great, added the crop marks, laminated the print, put it back in the machine and...
  10. Looking for source for black aggregate for signmaking

    I'm quoting a job for an existing panel sign with that black sparkly aggregate - can someone recommend a supplier? I've hunted high and low for a source... coming up dry. Thanks Greg Island Sign Works Westport Island, ME IslandSignWorks.com
