  3. suggestions for good photo paper

    isn't it easier to just buy a roll of paper, compatible with the chemistry of your printer? i have done the same thing, not with paper, but with paints, after painting mdf for "sponsor panels" under "welcome to <your town> signs. they play with the chemistry of paints so much, i often find vinyl...
  4. Threat of Closing this year...

    should have said we print these designs at 3.5" x 7"size to make a sample pack (typing while on the phone with a client)
  5. Threat of Closing this year...

    those let us open the pack and add (or REMOVE) a particular item
  6. Threat of Closing this year...

    we did the same (printed some of our best designs, on coro, sintra, styrene, banner, poster paper, etc then drilled a 1/4" hole through the stack on a drill press (the ones that didn't want to punch) then we used these to keep them together...
  7. suggestions for good photo paper

    in truth i like the satin papers better.
  8. suggestions for good photo paper

    We use “photo 8” from piedmont plastics (formerly diversified display) to print on our rolands it will not get along with the chemistry of our mutoh vj1627h for that we use hp ID (instant dry) gloss from lexjet, I think
  9. Need Help Older OCE sharpcut 50 xy cutter

    no experience with them, but, OCE is a terrible company to deal with. we bought a colorwave 300 from a client who was in cleveland they refuse to sell you service literature and fixtures (the problem mine had required a fixture to pull ink, etc i twisted a friend's arm from a canon authorized...
  10. Styrene vs Sintra, what's the difference?

    I'VE NEVER USED THEM, but what about those stupid COMMAND STRIPS WALMART has a huge area of the command strips removable for DORM ROOMS & RENTALS, ETC for truly temporary these might be the way to go you pull one corner and stretch the strip and it comes off with no residue AT LEAST IN THE...
  11. CMYK to PMS

    I actually do think that people doing color work should own an accurate spectrophotometer that they can afford. I certainly would not tell them to hold it up to their computer screen. am i the only one who wonders why this even needs to be said? OF COURSE you should have a spectro go to one...
  12. Help choosing a second printer

    i love my rolands (all older equipment) so i agree with you
  13. Printer not printing red

    All absolutely true. That's why I said it might be worth a try
  14. Printer not printing red

    certainly not an expired cartridge, but, if the issue is SOLIDS THAT HAVE SETTLED OUT it will certainly breath a little life into it. it will also ANSWER THE QUESTION of whether that is the problem. my mutoh prompts me to shake all cartridges every 48 hours, and i certainly give it a half...
  15. Help choosing a second printer

    i always wanted a rinter that prints white & ironically my white channel is loaded with MP31 cleaner since current situation has me printing very little...
  16. Printer not printing red

    very true. just offering a possible alternative and i certainly would think twice about doing this, ou must consider age of the printhead. sometimes on infrequently used equipment the price of a full set of cartridges can be a deal breaker!
  17. Printer not printing red

    i agree. however if you are friendly (or can make a new friend) at home depot, lowes or at a paint store, you can get them to put your cartridge on their "shaker table" it normally has a thing to hold quarts or gallons of paint. we just bring in our own velcro strap OR you can simply spend 10...

    https://www.engravingmachinesdirect.com/Roland-GX-24-Specifications_ep_53-1.html is it ACTUALLY a GX-24? according to roland, it would only have a usb interface. there would be no serial or parallel port on the back to plug into please recheck model & serial # & if you don't mind post a picture
