GS-24 suddenly started acting up today after 6 yrs of trouble-free cutting.. Our service rep is on the road - and wouldn't be able to get here for weeks - but suggested gently cleaning the encoder strip, which I did, and cleaned the rest of it, lots of dust. No change. It will cut something...

Thank you! That sorta explains it.... comic sans is a font I try to forget!

I can usually find a match but not this one... or maybe I just wanna go home :p

Here's a pdf on how to set it up for Versaworks

Thanks Marlene, yes we do have Grimco in Canada, but not nearly the production selection of state-side, and they don't carry them unfortunately, I just checked - . The Traffic Sign Store says shipping would be about $135 US :D ya, not! Somebody probably carries them or something similar up here...

We get requests for this, where did you get them? But if they are only available in the US, will cost a fortune to bring up to Canada... :-/

I agree, that test print doesn't look too bad to me, certainly not to produce that kind of banding. Have you tried cleaning the encoder strip? We've been through a couple of banding nightmares with our 540, solved by cleaning the strip. The last time it was a minuscule bit of dust/ink/debris.

If I could chime in here, and relate an experience we had last year. Full vehicle wrap with heavy ink coverage in some areas (a zombie cop, car to be exact). We printed ecosol ink on 3M IJ180 mc using our Roland versacamm. Let it off gas for about 24 hours before laminating. It was a nightmare...

Hi Divers, my first thought....because you fix it and the problem returns after a print job... may be the ink? clotting? Did you try changing the cartridge?

Just over 25K, on lease over 60.

Huge thanks to everyone's input on this, you all helped saved us from what probably would have ultimately been a huge headache! :frustrated: Just signed a deal on an Epilog Helix 60 watt, coming mid January. Can't wait!

We often cut Avery vinyl on our VP540 with no problem, but we use Versaworks.

Wow, from manufacture! *sigh* sometimes being a consumer is exhausting... Do they put manufacture date on the tubes? so you can check before you buy? Thanks so much for the great info Gene... and everyone else too! This place it great :)

Great thanks! I didn't know about RB... would save a bit on shipping.

Thanks Watson! I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone on here! Ya I first heard of GCC poking around on Sawmill, and I didn't see any bad reviews other than customer service. The GCC is carried by Stahls out of Concord Ont. The rep tells me the tube is covered for one year...
