  1. My Envision plotter has today for the first time ever...

    I think the F1 button changed it from single to multiple or continous (it's been a long time for me too. )
  2. Looking for Cutter carriage cable for Roland VP 540i

    You could use PN 1000017417 - CABLE-CARD,15P1 2800L BB HIGH-V It's used on current models and is a little longer. Just fold up the excess to keep it out of the way. Get it from any Roland dealer. Good Luck
  3. Pinch roller marks

    Check what the humidity is in your shop. Looks like it could be static charge building up from the pinch wheels. If your humidity is below 40% this is a likely cause. The lower the humidity is, the stronger the static charge will be. Different medias will react differently to this. Good luck
  4. Kala Mistral vs Flexa Easy Lite

    Unless you're mechanically inclined, get one with local support. Many on here have had high praise for Kala and GFP laminators. Find another dealer near you that can discuss your needs and the options. If you really like your current dealer, see if they'll offer some kind of 30 day trial. Or...
  5. Manufacturer Issue with CJV150/160. Handling Suggestions Please

    You can ask, but they have no obligation after the warranty period has ended. The recommendation doesn't come with a guarantee as they aren't onsite to inspect anything and are basing their recommendation on what you tell them. Depending on the relationship your tech has with Mimaki, you might...
  6. printing for larger companies

    Bill the customer $200 for the enrollment fee (whether they see it or not) and all is good, otherwise we opted to not do business with the customers that insisted on putting a lot of hoops for us to jump through. Fortunately, they can't always go somewhere else to get the service we provide and...
  7. Fuzzy edge on print and thin magenta boarder, head alignment?

    You need to perform the bias alignment in the carriage or reseat the heads.
  8. Need Help Mutoh VJ-1324 - cleaning station

    Get a new one from Solventinkjet. I wouldn't try to repair it. Good luck Joe
  9. Need Help My pinch roller lever got broken off

    This was not uncommon on early FC9000s (disk number starting with A) later models have a reengineered handle that has been pretty robust. If you get a replacement handle it's the new design. PM me if you want to order a replacement. Good Luck
  10. VersaWorks Gradient Help with Roland Spot Colors

    SAi has a lot of tutorial videos. Check this one out: Good Luck
  11. Roland VS-540 - Refurbishing Problems - Magenta

    Get a Roland cap top to start with. Also, the magenta line to changed to a single line isn't the channel that you're having problems with. Did you put in new dampers when you installed the print head? Did the print head come from Roland? What do you mean by "adjusting the station position"...
  12. Need Help My printer keeps stopping in the middle of printing

    Try cleaning the encoder strip.
  13. Grimco and Epson Issue

    Why fight so hard to cut a deal with companies you don't respect? Move on and buy something else somewhere else. There are vendors that support this site and are responsive. Work with one of them.
  14. Have to press PAUSE to start printing Versacmm SP-300 ?

    Do the heaters warm up? Is your shop cold? What temps are your print heater and dryer set to?
  15. Roland VS-540 plastic repairs????

    I've rebuilt the tabs with super glue and baking soda. Unfortunately, you can bypass the switches because certain routines ask for the doors to be opened and closed at certain points. Good luck.
