Correct, the new machines have green but they are discontinuing metallic ink, although they said support and inks will be available well into the future. Both eco solvent and dye sub will share the same chassis. The dye sub has neon ink. Release is sometime in 2025.

We did that. Updated everything. Running gosign pro pack. We got barcode recognition working with cam but had to revert to using opos for all reg mark jobs with media profiles in the cutter rather than camera profiles in gosign. There is some kind of issue with the camera which the engineer...

I’ll try creating a new camera profile, although that’s what the engineer did on the very media we are using. Unfortunately printing white or yellow under cropmarks or reg marks in a different color isn’t really an option as all marks are added in onyx for our workflow.

Thanks, I have camera profiles, including two that were set up by the engineer but they don’t work.

We recently purchased an S3 Cam specifically for reading barcodes and reg marks on chrome and holographic vinyl. The engineer set up the cutter and got the cutter to successfully read a barcode on chrome vinyl. Now we are on our own, it won’t read barcodes correctly. With barcodes we get a...

We had a head strike recently on our SG2. Same Ricoh heads I think. Like yours, the ink on one channel stopped completely. Something inside the head broke and unfortunately we had to fit a new print head. It seems these heads are pretty fragile.

Ok so it generates the barcode then you have to manually add it to the file in the correct place. When a Summa reads the barcode it points to a file of the same name in the barcode server folder. How does this plugin fit into that workflow? Do you have to manually drop the cut file into the...

It does feel like a museum piece compared to our other machines. We considered the LG but I’ve learnt to never buy the first version of anything. Our old SG and VS printers were workhorses.

Sorry meant to type MG-640

Ah ok. Interesting. We are running an LG-640 with a single 8 color head. Did you check your ink expiry dates for red and orange? We lost red almost completely (only a few nozzles remaining) then switched to new ink, renewed ink and the head came back to perfect condition.

Surely the print order is set in the rip? We regularly print white on top of cmyk by choice.

An update of my situation with the blurry red UV prints. We have been advised that the ink expiry date is critical. We received new ink from our supplier, installed it, performed ink renewal, and now it prints perfectly. Roland have shortened the expiry dates on ECO UV Red and Magenta to 10...

Did you ever resolve this issue? We have the exact same problem but with red. All other colours are perfect, no dropout, no misalignment. Even the red test print is perfect, but when it prints the red is blurry. We reported this to our dealer who has filed a report through Roland DG online...

Is this procedure and voltage settings the same for Edge FX?

You need to run higher full pressure setting and fine tune the flexcut depth using the blade extension. This way the cut depth will be even on x and y axis cuts.

Regular prints are fine for us too. Unlaminated or with good UV specific laminates, dust isn't really a problem. The only issue comes with spot gloss. Any dust trapped in the first CMYK pass or the gloss pass will show as an inclusion in the gloss. As the varnish is printed as a 2nd job, there...

You get used to the smell after a couple months. UV ink just smells, even when the printer isn’t printing. The ink cartridges themselves smell. We run a Bofa filter which reduces the smell during printing but causes other problems like pulling dust into the printer (we run a lot of gloss varnish...

Problem solved. Mods please delete thread.

For print and cut jobs the Roland take up isn't worth the hassle in my opinion. You can use TU2 mode then set it up in versaworks to take up and unwind but if you have lots of different length jobs and just want to print and cut them onto a take up roll, it's an extra step for every job. Also if...
