  1. Weird code ghosting into print

    Anybody know where this text is coming from? I get that it must be some stamp that left a residue that the ink doesn't like, but there's nothing visible on the backing paper so I'm not sure how it got there. It's happening about every 3 feet. Just wondering if it's gonna keep happening for the...
  2. VG-540i does not print cut properly

    So this looks like an issue I've been running into on my VG-540. I've had two different causes. One is user error so I'll start with that one. It sounds stupid but check and make sure the thumbscrew on the blade holder is tight. I was having off center cuts for a while and turns out it was...
  3. Official Cadlink forums 404 error

    I don't need any help I just was gonna take a look at the forums during some downtime at work and noticed they are no longer there. I was just asking if anyone knew if they'd been confirmed removed or just moved somewhere I wasn't able to find them. Basically I'm just lamenting the loss of, what...
  4. Official Cadlink forums 404 error

    Am I missing something or has Cadlink removed their official forums? If so that is very disappointing. Got a bunch of quality help over there even down to custom DLLs to solve some issues I was having. Can't find an official announcement or anything (granted I haven't looked very hard).
  5. Carsonite Decal Material

    Does anyone know what media and laminate are used in decals for Carsonite marking posts? All the websites I've been able to find just say tough, vandal resistant, non-chipping, UV Protective material. Someone is asking us to make a few decals for a hiking trail. Is it just a normal permanent...
  6. About Subscription Software...

    What about if the company closes the drm is removed? Like a dead man's switch. That way the software isn't bricked and the investment isn't lost. Would solve a small portion of the concerns. Or maybe a model where the previous version is released as lump sum unsupported license with a cost that...
  7. Job log dashboard

    In case you're monitoring this thread check my reply in the other one you made.
  8. Versaworks print stats

    Reading this made me curious. So I made a google sheet you can use. I think I did everything correctly. Read the instructions on the first sheet before doing anything. I didn't know the correct decision to make on including PRINT CANCELED entries in the math. The log logs the area and ink it...
  9. Question The new Roland Tru vis

    We bought ours basically on Jan 1 2017. Since then there have been some growing pains for the VG. I feel like we were part of a live beta test. Most issues have been fixed by our tech installing small modifications Roland has been sending out (crop mark detecting lens, shims for ink carts...
  10. That annoying motor roll while reading cropmarks

    Using my VG 540 I sheet cut my material after printing and use the straight edge to line up the media on one of the seams in the heat plate all the way across and I still get the feed. I can't imagine a way to get it any straighter than that without using fine detail measuring tools. Also it...
  11. XC 540 issue

    It's a mechanical device, not controlled by a motor. The reason is goes back up smoothly is that it's not catching on a latch somewhere within the mechanism. The metal bar gets pushed against the wall of the machine causing the blade to come down. Some latch is supposed to catch at that point...
  12. Versaworks Dual Issues

    I was able to fix my issues today by uninstalling Versaworks Dual then opening file explorer and searching the whole computer for "Versaworks Dual" then deleting all results. Reinstalled from disk and now it seems to be working fine without running it in admin mode. Simply uninstalling and...
  13. From My Experience, Stay Away From Roland's New Truvis Machines.

    So far my experience with our VG-540 has been mixed, but after ironing out some wrinkles things are pretty smooth now. We are not having issues with cut accuracy (longest cuts we do are about 8-9ft on 3M IJ180), but we did have some issues with crop mark detection at the start. Having the crop...
  14. Versaworks Dual Issues

    Running as administrator has the unfortunate side effect of no longer being able to drag files into queue. You must import via file menu. Pretty lame. Since this is an advertised feature on the Roland website and Windows 10, 8, and 7 are the advertised recommended OS this needs a fix in my...
  15. Roland Vg 640 - Bad Head Crash Leads To Service Call

    I've suspected our is too low since we got it but our tech has never suggested raising it. They've actually acted like there is no ability to do so when I've expressed concerns. I wonder what the height is supposed to be. We are unable to print with low head height without using the clamps...
