Both my express and roland were well around 8 - 10 years old, but they were run in temp controlled environment with minimal dust. Life of the machines depends a lot on environment they're used in. Constant hot and cold cycles are bad on the mainboard. I did have to reflow the solder joints on...

I use a summa d60r with edge 2 and edge 1 machines with Flexi.

Do you have an idea of what you plan on cutting with it as that can drive what type of machine folks might recommend and from where. When you say entry level how entry level are you thinking? Sub $1k or $1k and over? I've owned roland, graphtec, summa, gerber and vinyl express(gcc). I've also...

I've had this same issue on both my previous Roland and Vinyl Express cutters where it gets stuck on boot and that was usually a sign the main boards we going out. Depending on how long its been happening power cycling will fix it, but eventually it won't go past boot. Both mine died within a...

Are you using paper transfer or clear and what tack have you tried, med or high? I've been using Oracal for over 20 years and for me what works for graphics with small lettering or detail is a med clear transfer. If I go with paper transfer I use high tack. I've moved away from paper and mostly...

I know this thread is from last year but I had the same issue with a jv33 printer I recently purchased and refurbed and have been wasting ink and time trying to troubleshoot the ink dropout. Keep in mine I replaced the print head with a genuine new mimaki head, dampers, fittings to the dampers...
