  2. Is your bucket truck really broken.........?

    Nice of you to remember me.
  3. Need Help Did I ruin my Roland SP-540v printheads?

    Taking the carts out should not affect it for one hour.
  4. Shutting down printers nightly

    Clogged lines, destroyed printheads.
  5. Upgrading from Corel 16 to 19

    18 is the best stable version. I've heard countless problems with 2019
  6. Need Help HELP: Roland sold me a defective printer and I lost $750,000

    Many people don't know how to operator their equipment. I've seen and purchased some awful printers that people destroyed and then they blame the manufacturer when it's their own fault. Roland is an industry standard, their equipment is top notch work horses. I would not blame them for the...
  7. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    Only use Polycarbonate, not acrylic. Acrylic will fade. For the vinyl you must use translucent vinyl. Yes if it's a standard cabinet, remove a retainer and slide out. The sign face must be about 3/8" shorter than the cabinet to fit. I recommend measuring the old sign face first.

  11. Question First Eco Solvent printer

But for aluminum, vehicles, etc you need it. I recommend a SEAL cold laminator EL54. Roland's do self cleaning so...
  12. Installing signs without a permit

    You aren't a real sign guy, so that says it all.
  13. Installing signs without a permit

    It's not worth the risk. When unlicensed sign companies or those who don't get a permit, just turn them in for it. You are representing the customer's best interests. Those companies who illegally install signs are usually cutting corners and it's a risk to the client. Also if you are losing out...
  14. Installing signs without a permit

    All depends on the state and area. But generally fines, strike on your license and make you take down the sign.
  15. Just In My new bucket truck
