  2. Having a problem with a line in the print on a roland SP300?

    That is the strip between the two plastic guides/protector strips?
  3. Having a problem with a line in the print on a roland SP300?

    I am getting a line perpendicular to the direction the print head moves across the print on all four colors (cmyk), the yellow/magenta almost line up and the black/cyan are very close if not in line, the line is about an eight of an inch thick and will run as tall as the print cutting right...

  6. SP-300V Acting up again, Image skewing horribly, please HELP!

    We use the foam cleaning sticks with rapid tac application fluid and that works pretty well.
  7. dealing with gradients

    Actually we have a problem with this too. Changing colors slightly helps as does setting blends to "super". I can not remember but on one I think we changed from FXPress to randon diffusion and that helped too but it was a long time ago, I right be wrong about that. Good luck.

  14. Roland SP540 vs. VP540

    When a solid color is printed, it can have line that run the same direction that the printhead moves (from right to left), this is called banding. In stead of a nice solid color you have "bands" in the color. We get very little banding and there are things you can do to minimize it. More heads =...
  15. Pricing in Hard Times

    My prices definitely are influenced by the economy. People out here are very conservative, and there is just way too many people in the sign business, as well as businesses that do some aspect of the sign business as a sideline. My customers are pretty loyal but if they were to feel they were...
