  1. Discussion Your take on Truevis VG640 CMYKLcLmLk

    Hey guys, Was interested in knowing your review about this machine. We have a VP540i which is 7 years old now. We need to upgrade and wanted an opinion from a VG640 owner. We plan to use in CMYKLcLmLk config (since we get a lot of photo-quality images to print). How is the ink usage, head...
  2. Cutting Phototex

    Hi, I was hoping I get some inputs in cutting phototex. I have a roland VP540 print and cut machine, and even for the basic decal designs, I am facing lot of problem in cutting as there are loose fabrics which still do not get cut. I have done dual cutting also, but no luck. I am cutting with...
  3. Full wrap of a grey car with plain white vinyl!

    This is a request we got where the customer wants to wrap his grey suzuki car fully with just plain white vinyl. I plan to use 3M IJ180C for this but I think this will be much more expensive than a good old paint job (I am not sure though). In that case I might use 3M IJ40C for the flat door...

    Hi, I have to do some print and cut on frost film that would be applied on a large office window partition around 6 ft by 13 ft. The final effect would be like the image attached which is also one of my jobs but went wrong in the finishing. I plan to redo this job and want to make sure the...
  6. Buying a take-up roll secondhand at a 30% discount

    Hi, My Roland dealer tells me that they currently only have a secondand take-up roll which they have been using as a demo piece. He is saying that a new take-up roll will take time which he cannot guarantee how long. So I was wondering, if it makes sense to go for the secondhand takeup...
  7. Can I reuse this print work (photo attached)

    Here is the first project we did for a school board in the outdoors. Due to sheer ignorance we used the following setup: IJ180C with IJ8520 lam on foamboard/foamcore which was pasted on a preexisting metal sheet. The size of this: 3.4ft by 16.5 ft. This was for a 3 year min. outdoor durability...
  8. weeding after wet application with masking tape

    Has anyone done weeding after wet application of vinyl on window? The masking tape can be taken off after 3-4 hours only before there is a reasonable bond of the vinyl with the substrate - only then can the weeding of the unwanted material be done from the glass. So I am wondering if the weeding...
  9. cut contours rather tears the vinyl!!

    Hi, I am facing issues with the cutting in my machine (VP 540i). The cutting performs dots (more like a tear than a cut) and especially in the corners it is more pronounced (big dots at sharp corners). I have replaced the blade and the blade holder. Both did not work. I am not finding the...
