  3. Roland Vg 640 - Bad Head Crash Leads To Service Call

    Dead thread revival but posting my results. The technician said that the warranty would NOT cover replacement heads because of damage or head strikes caused by normal operation. HOWEVER, when I told him that after the head strike the print head kept scanning and actually dragged one of the media...
  4. white adhesive side blockout?

    I have recently used a material like this as well, got it from SF supplies in Brooklyn NY. It's a general formulations product called GF Concept®218 Windowmark™ Blockout Vinyl Gloss 54" x 100' 8mil Eco solvent compatible and I have used it like you described: print mirror image on...
  5. Iridescent AND solvent compatible?

    Thanks 2CT Media. Since this is not for a wrap (essentially it is for a special effects backdrop), I don't necessarily want to pay the price for a cast vinyl like 900SC or 900SW. Do you, or does anyone, know of a cheaper vinyl that has an iridescence or pearlescent effect?
  6. Iridescent AND solvent compatible?

    Hi all - looking for material suggestions for a printable substrate that is iridescent. The iridescence I'm looking for is that classic purple base color with green shine. Kind of like this. This is not for a car wrap, and ideally it wouldn't have an adhesive backing. If it does then whatever. I...
  7. black vinyl breaking glass?

    I've heard of it happening, especially when its full coverage. If you are covering less than 50% of the window you should be good but don't take my word for it.

  9. Wheat Paste-able Media for Eco-Sol

    Thanks for your reply! I buy from S&F, I asked my guy there about something for this job, he mentioned a 7mil Neenah brand paper for ~120 a roll or so. I didn't mention "blue back" to him. I will send him an email now!
  10. Wheat Paste-able Media for Eco-Sol

    Hello all! I am here in search of a substrate that I can wheat paste. Client wants fine quality prints on wheat paste media. I have found THIS media, it says compatible with PVA based adhesive, will it be compatible with the wheat paste process as well? If so, then this seems like a winner at...

    This worked for me, too when I had the problem, but it disabled drag and drop which was not optimal. I fixed it by updating and initializing the application as an administrator then when i restarted like normal everything worked.

  15. Roland Vg 640 - Bad Head Crash Leads To Service Call

    Was printing like normal today, media loaded, media clamps installed, and something very weird happened. The print heads crashed into the media clamps. My only guess is that somehow the semi rigid media (thick-ISH paper) pushed the clamps up into the print heads and they collided. It crashed...

  17. Laminator/Trimmer Questions

    Hello Signs 101! I am new to this forum, this is my first post, and I am new to this industry. Completely new. I operate a Roland TruVis VG640 which is really cool. Right now I am at the end of a ~4,700 sq foot job that we had to farm out the lamination/ trimming for. My boss was not happy to...
