  1. Need help with Agfa M4f , Wasatch configuration files. Please.

    Hi, long story short , After re-installing the Wasatch software , I installed the configuration files which I had saved from before the install. Everything seems to look OK, in the dialog box, ink percentages etc. However, the prints are much darker than before even though I am using the exact...

  3. Need help please. T-Shirt material.

    Hello, We have an older roll of heat press T-shirt material that I need information for - Evols Evolution Print semi finished. I can't find any information online about it, ink compatibility ( Eco-Sol max ) heating times and type of premask etc. I was wondering if anyone has used this material...
  4. How to achieve this shadow in illustrator

    The Bad Wrap Templates are Photoshop based. I find they are awesome to use. Why not import your AI vectors as smart objects, keeping them vector, you could scale them half size - double the document raster effects ( drop shadow ) in Illustrator first, or do it later in Photoshop at whatever...
  5. New XF-640 Banding Issue

    I too had banding problems but made a few changes and have no issues now ( knock on wood). The main thing I found was to make sure that the media is taut including the take-up side. What I do is when threading the media through by hand and lining up with the side margin-marker ( from the back...
  6. Roland GX 400 crop mark question

    We have Flexi and although I can cut right out of Flexi I prefer using Versaworks. We have the GX-640 and I find it very accurate. I wonder if somehow Flexi is seeing your cutter as an older model (driver issue?). If you don't have Versaworks you could try Cutstudio which should have come with...
  7. Contour Cutline printing out- Flexi ~Versaworks

    Hi, I know this topic has been discussed before but after a quick search I couldn't find it. My problem is using Flexi 10 and Versaworks is that the Contour Cutline is printing out in Versaworks ( 5.0), every once in awhile I run into this and usually bring the cut-line in a bit to get rid of...
  8. Offline Cutting with Roland SOLJET® XF-640, Soljet Pro 2

    I use a couple of Roland Pro2s, a Print and Cut SJ545ex and a print only SJ645. We are in the process of upgrading our printers. So, the first question is if we were to purchase an Roland XF-640 printer can we use an offline cutter with it somehow? Or do you have to use the XR640. If it is...
  9. Problem with Agfa Anapurna M4f - Ink cross contamination in the head?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem with this printer or a similar type printer. What happens is the magenta head will start outputting a colour that looks purplish as if it is being contaminated by cyan ink. I have bled the sub-ink pumps and there never seems to be any...
  10. Black Lines - Illustrator into VersaWorks

    I was wondering what your "Clip and Tile " settings are in Versaworks. If you check "number of tiles"=1, does that help?
  11. Contour cuts WAY OFF !!!

    Do you have any plotter pens? We use them any time we think we may have issues especially with expensive materials. Just run your normal sequence with the pen installed instead of the blade holder. If all is well , the ink wipes right off the laminated surface with a little alcohol before...
  12. Agfa Anapurna Non Firing Heads

    Is it possible you might have air in the systems / sub pumps, plugged filter, manifold etc. In other words an ink supply issue? No banding issues?
  13. strange problem, need help

    I don't use your software but was wondering if the file was saved or converted to 16bit colour? I see you found the answer. :-)
  14. White Spots in Print

    Suggestions Three suggestions: contamination from the environment in the form of someone spraying nearby, even in the next room ( acid wheel wash, adhesive promoter ), HVAC outlet nearby with dirty filter. Also, if your printer has a protective translucent spray shield covering the heads/...

    As a fledgling Graphic Designer, Large Format digital print guy, photographer and general lover of Art, I must say that you people, the sign painters are the true artists of this trade. I know most of you already know that but I just wanted say it out loud. I was wondering if anyone has seen...
