  1. News Roland EJ-640 (fallen out blue ?)

    Hi peter1313, What is your color setup? Had the same issue and we changed the head. However before you do that you can try to check if the head is sitting properly on the capping station. You can also check if there's any difference if you go with a Medium head cleaning.
  2. Reverse registration/crop marks?

    It's not the cut file that needs to be rotated, it's the whole print including the crop marks.
  3. Reverse registration/crop marks?

    It is pretty hard to re-roll the material if we're printing 1 full 50m rolls.
  4. Reverse registration/crop marks?

    So I recently bought a chinese take up unit for my EJ-640 and VS-640i, and a GR-540 for me to print and cut multiple sheets of labels (250pcs at a time). Normally the front crop marks are the first to be printed. But my dilemma is since I have a take up unit now, the front registration marks are...
  5. Roland GR-540 cutter paired with a non-roland printer possible?

    I currently have a GR-540 cutter and I’m planning to buy another print that’s a different brand. Is this possible to pair the cutter with a different brand of printer? If yes, how do I do so? cheers!
  6. Need help on choosing a spectrophotometer

    Do I really need the publish version? Can I not just get the basic instead?
  7. Need help on choosing a spectrophotometer

    Hi guys! I'm shopping for some spectrophotometers and I'm not quite sure what to choose. I also noticed that these instruments doesn't come cheap. So I am looking for a spectrophotometer just to specifically make single ink limits, linearization, total ink limits, and custom icc profiles. I'm...
  8. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    I cleaned it with adhesive remover probably once or twice only, but I always stick with alcohol. I clean it regularly simply because I just one it clean, not because I am seeing and dirt or residue that's being left on the grit roller. For the pinch roller, I use a very mild dilution of Chemical...
  9. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    I understand the accuracy tolerance of the machine, but this doesn't happen before. If I'm seeking perfection then I wouldn't even bother adding bleed to the artwork. haha
  10. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    I'm cleaning the pinch and grit rollers regularly (every other day). However there some adhesive residue that's being left in the grit rollers even if I use an adhesive remover chemical. Was planning to remove the grit rollers from the machine so that I can clean it properly but I find it such a...
  11. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    Yes, i’m doing that best that I can to load it as straight as possible. The guides that you see are not registration marks, those are margin marks only. Registration marks are done as a whole. As much as possible I do not want to make my media smaller since I never had this problem before.
  12. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    My apologies for my lack of information. I'll try my best to keep it detailed as much as I can. The example photos below are printed on an EJ-640, and cutting done on a GR-540. 1. I am using vinyl stickers as my media. Regardless if I am using Ritrama or some china branded media, the cuts are...
  13. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    I’m using Versaworks 6. What do you mean by “what marks you have set it up in”? If you’re pertaining to crop marks being set manually i.e. thru cut studio, I don’t. I just let versaworks do that for me
  14. Need help from really experienced Roland techs.

    Pardon my french, but the Roland tech in our country sucks big time. Anybody here that could help me with resolving my problems with crop cuts? I am using an EJ-640 and VS-640i as my printers, then a GR-540 as my cutter. My issue is simple, cut alignment when doing cuts thru crop marks. Thanks!
