  3. Strange lines in VS-540 prints

    I have a Roland VS-540 at the shop i'm at and I've noticed lately that I've been getting some strange lines across my prints. It not banding as they are inconsistent and mostly just show up in certain solid colors. The file i'm printing from is a vector graphic and the green is a solid color...

  6. Instructions for cleaning

    My shop has a Mimaki UJF 6042 that we've had for about 4-5 months now. Does anyone know of a resource that details cleaning procedures for these machines? I've read the manual several time, but it's painfully obvious to me that it was not written by a native English speaker and seems very...
  7. Print white on multiple pages

    I have a UJF-6042 and it seems like raster link will not allow me to create a special plate for multiple page documents. Is there another way to do this? i have about 10 signs 9 x 11 that need to be printed white and i'd rather not do them one at a time if I can avoid it. I know my roland...
  8. VS-540 woes

    So I just did a powerful clean and almost nothing came through into the drain bottle, just a few small drops and bubbles. it looks like the cap is sitting properly, i see the spring compress a bit when I move the head onto the cap, but i clearly am not getting a good seal. How would you go...
  9. VS-540 woes

    So I soaked the head for about 2+ hours and my yellow and cyan came back, but they are pretty sloppy. My current theory is that because the cap top is not sealing on the head it's drying out, and because there isn't enough suction the machine cannot properly pull ink through during the cleaning...
  10. VS-540 woes

    Aloha! My shop has a VS-540 we have been using for quite some time. we have had a few issues this past year so we changed the head and dampers about 3 months ago. everything was working great for a few months, but suddenly last month we have been having some issues with a few ink channels. My...
  11. silk screening vs printing vs cut vinyl

    The sign itself is 3' x 5'. The reality is I don't even know if anyone locally can make a screen printed sing like this, and shipping would be pretty expensive to Hawaii. In addition to that, its more than one color and I had a feeling it would get pretty expensive. I think someone probably...
  12. silk screening vs printing vs cut vinyl

    Thanks for the info guys! I don't think his sign really lasted 15 years, but that's what he's telling me. The die cut vinyl is faded and peeling off which I'm pretty sure didn't happen over night. He probably got maybe 8-10 years and now hes just tired of the eye sore. I normally tell people...
  13. silk screening vs printing vs cut vinyl

    I have a customer who is asking me to replace an existing aluminum sign that he has. The original one was die cut vinyl applied to and aluminum sheet and now after what he estimated to be about 15 years its in pretty bad shape. He wants to replace it with something that will last a long time...
