    High quality is 1440 x 720. I only use sign&display or high impact profiles which have always been great
  2. VS540 Stripes through red prints?

    I always print on the high quality option in Versaworks and have tried various colour management presents.
  3. VS540 Stripes through red prints?

    Hi, Im getting slight stipes through my VS especially on red tones. Is there something i can do to remedy this? I have tried various cleans and the head looks ok but im no expert. Head is 18 months old and i clean it once a week. Any advice welcome. Thanks Steve
  4. Plotter Confusion - Summa or Graphtec

    Oh blimey, im going between both brands like a yoyo. Just read up about you S3 TC160, sounds amazing! Very high price though, one day though for sure. The S Class D140 is abit more affordable with recon models asking £3500-£4000. Food for thought, thanks for your input I thought the FC9000...
  5. Plotter Confusion - Summa or Graphtec

    Thanks everyone, gotta be a FC9000 then, no more cutting strip wear would be amazing. I often swap between 30" and 54" material so the first half of my cutting strip gets more wear. Then when going back to 54" the cuts are different from one half of the machine to the other, drives me mad.
  6. Plotter Confusion - Summa or Graphtec

    Oh i see, so the channel is just that, so if the blade was to proud it would just go through the material and sit in the channel, makes sense. The FC9000 is a little over my budget but im sure i can just wait a little longer and raise the extra funds. Ive read the FC9000 is alot more user...

  10. Plotter Confusion - Summa or Graphtec

    I cant put off the need for a dedicated plotter anymore. Ive been printing and cutting stickers on my VS540 for almost 2 years now and have definitely got the most out of the machine. Its the only machine ive ever had but have been very happy with it especially for the £2500 i paid. The print...
  11. VS-540 Cutting Problems

    Hi there, Over the last few weeks ive been unable to get a nice cut on my VS-540. Im perf cutting laminated vinyl stickers and using a new 60 degree blade. The problem is mainly happening on curved cuts like circles although squares are not perfect either. Ive never got an excellent cut on this...
  12. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Thanks for all your replies i appreciate it. When the Roland service was carried out just before i acquired the machine afew months ago i can see the head, 2 x dampers, felt wiper and cap top were all replaced. This probably wasnt the white damper as the previous owner didnt run white. No pumps...
  13. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Ill try a cleaning fluid cartridge and pull some through and see if i can get that to print so to speak.
  14. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Ok thanks. Is it possible for me to drip some cleaning solution down the hole for the white on the head?
  15. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    No not using white material haha. I want to print white base coats on transparent before going back over with colour (fancy stickers). I had it working perfect the first day. Test print is great regarding the colours but 0% for white.
  16. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Yeah i do gently shake the white every day and have setup a white test print file ready aswell just cant get it to the nozzles. I only just put the white in 4 days ago for the first time. The ink is actually getting through the lines and to the top of the print head but not to the actual...
  17. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Thanks for your replys. I dont believe the pump has been changed, does the white line have its own dedicated pump? When i pull the white pipe off above the head it does drip white ink steadily, perhaps theres a blockage from here to the head below? Is changing the pump a job i can do? Im very...
  18. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    Hi, I wondered if anyone had any tips on how to get the white ink to the head and stay at the head? I recently added white to my machine and finally after many powerful wash's and ink circulations and then pulling through with a syringe it finally made it to the head and after a while started...
  19. Mine field of options for white and clear vinyl?

    I got a sample pack of imageperfect and all the samples have a grid printed on the back. Perhaps it’s only the samples?
  20. Mine field of options for white and clear vinyl?

    Hey, Im having troubles finding a good option for both white and clear vinyl for my perf cut stickers in the UK. Ive tried both M series from Grafityp and ImagePerfect from Spandex but both have printed backing paper which i cant have amongst other problems. I will be laminating both white...
