  1. Question Strange ink drop pattern mid print???

    Both images show classic marks of fuzz dragging through your print.
  2. XC 540 contour cutter

    The two most common culprits of this issue: 1) The cut carriage cable has a broken wire connection in it from wear and tear. (Most common problem I see for your issue) 2) If the cut carriage cable was pulled or plugged in while the printer was on. If this is the case, then perhaps the servo...
  3. Avery 1105 Print Issue...

    I have seen this in shops that are cool... especially if the printer is on a concrete floor. Try upping the room temp. You can also try using an oscillating fan (one that rotates back and forth). Place it down low just above the take-up. Don't let it blow into the actual print area as it will...
  4. Need Help Color Variation From Panel To Panel

    Yeppers... this is what needs to be done.
  5. Fuse Vp540

    Trying to figure out the reason for a blown fuse can get ugly and expensive. It could be one of the head cables, one of the heads, the main board, or a combination of a head and main board. If you blindly replace one part thinking it's bad, when it's really not, it can be damaged by the true bad...
  6. New Guy Roland Vp540

    I am assuming you are trying to pull ink through the hose on the cap... Double check your new cap top. There is a little white piece of plastic that hangs off the bottom of the cap... be sure that it is towards the back of the printer when it is installed, otherwise the cap will not sit...
  7. Roland Vs Wiper Scrapper

    Hi Signguy35, I haven't seen any videos for that. Generally, the replacement of the scraper and pad are performed by a service tech. I do know that the whole wiper station has to be removed. There are two allen screws that hold wiper station in place. Be sure to wear gloves!
  8. Sp-300 Working With Windows 7

    You'll need to be in service mode to change the ink type. Set it to Max 4. Also, be sure to update the firmware.
  9. Problems when printing over 4 feet.

    I've seen this problem on SPs many times. Go into your printer's menu and set the vacuum to 100%. This will suck the media down flat. Keep in mind, this may not work if your pinch rollers are worn or the heat is set to high for your media.
  10. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Stair step printing is most every time related to the Encoder strip and some of the times its the encoder board (reader) and once in a great great great while it's something else... but mostly encoder strip and/or encoder board. If you replace the encoder board, make sure the encoder strip is...
  11. dreaded banding

    Just a heads up... you have only one nozzle missing. The test print is printed in two full passes, one above the other. So, what you'll see is a repeat of missing nozzles, one above the other. Could one missing nozzle cause your banding?... maybe. Your banding might be from a misaligned head...

    May 20th and 21st This hands on course trains attendees on the best practiced methods in applying printed graphics & color restyling films starting with vehicle prep to final edge sealing. It's a challenging course with rivet panels & two complete vehicle wraps. The class will also touch on...
  13. Cutting Rigid vinyl

    Yes. Run the cut job. Set it to return to home after each cut job. Run the job again. You can do this as many times as you want. That way the blade can cut a little deeper each time.
  14. Cutting Rigid vinyl

    Cutting Rigid vinyl with 60 deg blade You will have to cut multiple times. Using a 60 deg blade will help but rigid material will take several passes. In your set up click on the return to home after cut, then just send the job again.
  15. Sheet Cutting

    Hi Dizzy, Your problem could be a bad ribbon cable that is attached to the cutter. It is sandwiched between two clear plastic guides... all of which travels back and forth while printing and cutting. Eventually, one or more of the wires in this ribbon cable will break. It could be that you have...

    HI my name is Sean and I work for a sign supply store. We carry the RollsRoller and I was wondering how you liked yours?
  17. Roland SP300v

    Pictures?
  18. Soljet xc-540 kiss cut

    Yes it does.
  19. New to the ROland VS-540

    DO NOT hit "Get Media Width" in job settings again this can cause you issues. Just do as amw suggests above.
  20. Color matching

    I"m not sure if this applies to Flexi and I hope I'm not confusing the issue. In Photoshop you can create a spot color channel and rename the spot color channel with the RVW spot color that matches the color you want. Add the spot color graphics to this spot color channel. Then save the file...
