OK, I solved the problem. Here's how for others: Had to do manual update. Navigate to versaworks folder in the start menu, and click on "Online Update". Then click "Check for Updates". It found a 4.9mb update available, despite me having just updated. I installed the new update and the problem...

So, I got in the shop this morning and when I opened Versaworks, I was informed there was an update available. I clicked yes to update, and it did it's thing with no apparent problems. After finishing, I attempt to open Versaworks and get a message saying "The version of language resource is...

We're pretty set on the competition, as it's actually for a company that puts on a festival every year downtown, and not the city itself. We did quite a bit of other signage/printing for last year's festival, and we know the organizers personally. The thing is though, they're wanting to do a...

Thanks for the link!

Care to share the info on your "other supplier"? I assume they've treated you well?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the best way to bid this job. We've got 50 8.5' x 30" double-sided banners that need to be made. They'll be up for about 2 months, hanging from the light posts downtown. The old one was simply blue fabric, hemmed and grommeted, with vinyl graphics transferred...

Are all the parts that detect the postition of the pinch rollers clean?

You can soak the heads without removing them. There's several posts on how to do it. I was in the same situation about 6 months ago. Used machine, sat for 2 months, lines had been emptied of ink but the system wasn't flushed properly. After 2 or 3 head soaks, replacing the caps & dampers, and a...

I'm having trouble getting the ink to adhere properly with a XC-540 and using MCVP. What temperature settings do you folks recommend?

I'm attempting to print a rather large banner from a high resolution panoramic photo. File size is approx. 375mb, and a TIFF. Running Windows 7 64-bit, Versaworks 4.1, Intel i3 CPU @ 3.2 ghz and 6gb of ram. I've tried rebooting and running the program in compatibility mode. No matter what I've...

Thanks, mosh, I'll look into Fellars. I wasn't aware that anyone taught this.

One more quick question: 3M has only the following info on the 8518: "This highly conformable overlaminate provides a wet paint look that reflects sunlight brilliantly and resists fuel vapors, making it a top choice for a variety of graphic types, including car and boat wraps." Is it pressure...

I'm located in a college town of just over 100,000 people. I haven't been able to find anyone who does vehicle wraps within 100 miles, so it's pretty much up to us to figure it out. The custom shop I'm trying to work a deal with does window tinting and decals, but I understand from what I've...

Thanks, Mike, I'm assuming 3M has all the info for matching?

No I don't have any idea how to do a wrap, other than the videos I've watched on youtube. That's why I'm trying to work with a local custom shop and that's also why I'm asking questions. I'm not trying to get rich off of vehicle wraps, I'm trying to expand our service offerings, and maybe bring...
