Hey guys I'm trying to print a design on a white mouse pad 3mm thick fabric. There is a lot of black as you can see from the images but the black is very patchy and the black isn't very deep in tone, it's a little on the light side. I'm wondering if this is a heat press issue, not having an...

Managed to get it looking a lot better. Manual clean and a few normal cleans via the printer. Changed some settings. Getting there but still not right.

Hi guys, as my last post said, all new to this so forgive this question if it's a simple fix My colours appear to have some kind of speckled appearance to them. I have a vp300i roland. Can anyone suggest things for me to try to see if I can correct this issue. Especially noticeable in the...

Update.... I changed the yellow in the design to a different colour as I could see it really only affecting yellow. Results in the images. Although I still need to tweek the quality settings it seems the yellow ink is the problem. Any ideas why?

Hey guys Totally new to printing with Roland's. I recently purchased a VP300i and I'm having problems with the inks appearing to run into each other and slight banding. I've attached images. I have tried several different media's, using generic vinyl profiles as well as Metamark profiles...

Hey guys. I have a Summa s2 160 t and I'm trying to contour and perf cut from SAI. I have created the contour lines, chosen different colours, have the contour set to Tangential and the perf which is a different colour set to Flexcut Accurate. The flexcut mode is OFF on the cutter...

Hey Guys I am struggling with vertical banding and initial dark patches on canvas prints. I have a HP Latex l26500. Settings are in the image below along with some examples of the banding. Sometimes there is a much darker patch (when on high ink) at the first 200mm approx of the print, shows...

Yeah, I replaced it and the ink Mant kit after i realised it was at 89%. See if that solves it. Im sure that was the issue. Sorry for the wasted post!

Sorry not sure why it posted the same image several times!

Hey guys So I came in this morning and noticed that there was black ink on the floor behind the printer. It's an L26500. It appears that the two plastic tubes at the back of the printer are stuck together with black ink. The smaller of the tubes has leakage or an excess of ink at the end of it...

I have just got off a Teamviewer meeting with Sai Flexi support and we have gone through a profile and changed the Ink limits, Multi-Ink limits, The GCRsmooth , the light ink curves. Just testing it all now, he showed me how to keep tweaking it to make small adjustments and keep testing till I...

Hi, yes I have seen much better results from the same printer. I know there is slight grain witht his latex on certain medias but not to the degree im experiencing. I will certainly try that method today to see what results I get. This forum is amazing for help, thank you all so much.

Or is this one more inline with what you mean

Have I done this right? I have increased the values so the Cyan and Magenta ink splits are from 50% to 75%. In the ICC generation I selected GCR from the drop down and set it to 30%. It was at 0% I probably haven't do the cyan and magenta right, if not can you explain a little what I should be...

I have the Trial version of Onyx to see if that helped with the quality. It did slightly. Sai Flexi im in a 12 month contract with so would like to get it sorted with this RIP. Want to say thanks so much for all the help, Im going to try to do what you suggested now and see how things turn out...
