hi all! does anybody know how to do the "pull up tab" feature? it's basically just a small part that doesn't have adhesive, while the rest of the decal has adhesive. i've been doing this for 10 years, and i'm stumped. i'm using a Summa S2T and mimaki uv roll to roll printer. any help would be...

hi all! i bought a new summa S2T 140 a few months back, and have only recently tried its print/cut feature using Opos X/ Opos XY. I have only heard of rave reviews so far for Summa, so i am at a loss why i am experiencing accuracy issues with it. Description of the problem: four corners and...

hi all! i'm currently looking at these 2 models for my contour cut jobs, and i need input from those experienced users on which is more applicable for my needs. [the FC is 2x the price of the CE around here] from what i've read, summa is the best one in the market, but it appears that we don't...

has anybody noticed that the original roland wipers - the one that has a felt side can't seem to hold its shape after a few encounters with cleaning solution? i used to use the white one, and also the silicon one from china - and both seemed to never warp. tho the white one chipped much more...

hi all! for those who have used third party parts [probably from china] for your roland printers, i was wondering what kind of luck you've had with them. i have tried the dampers, and the capping station for my SC-540 [DX4 heads] and they seem to be performing ok. but my silicon wiper...

hi all! i recently purchased a few big squeegee products, and had good results installing vinyl. but when i tried using the BS to matte laminate my prints - i noticed that there seemed to be "micro bubbles" sandwiched between my lamination film and print [in all areas]. let me make it clear...

hi all! i was just wondering how you guys apply post heat to the last part of your prints. since the vinyl would stop moving forward once the print stops, how do you get the last part [1 ft or so] to move through the length of the dryer? i have a separate dryer from benes for my SC-540, and...

hi all! i am planning on buying the BS that a lot of you guys have been really positive about. i've seen some of the videos, searched the forum [got dizzy with all the posts] and i've also gone through the BS website. The thing is, when i went to the BS website to choose which one to buy, i...

a very basic question here. how do you properly store a used DX4 head? is it enough for us to just pack it away after flushing it with cleaning fluid? *the scenario would be when you successfully unclogged an old head after soaking it forever. :P thanks in advance!:thankyou:

hi all, i have an sc-540 with a really weird nozzle test for black. the first pass it prints is consistently fine. while the second pass would have nozzle drop outs. i have attached a few nozzle test for you to see for yourself. the head in is only a few months old. no head strikes yet. i...

hi all! i have been doing a bit of printing for the past year, but now, i have a friend who wants me to make a set of 2 layer car decals for him. 100pcs of 14" x 4" decals using oracal all the way. now, my question is, from your experience, what is the ideal size of each sheet when you...

i need SC-540 to automatically clean while i'm away hi! i know this has been discussed before. but i would like to know the exact stuff i need to do so that my SC-540 would initiate its cleaning cycle while i am asleep/out for the weekend/on vacation/etc. i hope you guys don't mind, but i...

hello all! just a basic question here. i use flexi production manager and under print mode, it gives you the option of using either CMYK (1 bit) or CMYK (2 bits). can anybody kindly give me the difference between the two or the impact is has on my print? thanks!

hi all! I'm just doing a quick survey of what head/scan speeds people use on their machines. The local roland tech guy specifically said that i should not use the usual default 1000mm/sec scan speed - bec this would bad for the head. he mentioned something in the 650mm/sec range as the safe...

hi all! i'm still pretty new here, and was wondering if you guys could answer a very basic question about profiling: "since i'm just starting to do my own profiles, do i need a different profile for different resolutions?" i already know that the ink+machine+media+ripper[possibly] combination...

hi all. i'm kinda new here, but i'm hoping that some of the more experienced regulars could help me out. i would like to know how to change my 6 color printer into a 4 color one. I have an SC-540 and i am already familiar on how to physically remove the heads and cables... i just need to...
