  4. Question Shall I make the change from Roland Xr-640 to a VG3-640?

    no way i would get rid of the XR. that is a work horse. we have had roland printers for the past 20 yrs and they have been great up until we got the truvis. we got one of the first models released and it was nothing but trouble for most of the 4 yrs we had it. the first 2 years it barely ran and...
  5. Suggestions re-installing stud mounted acrylic lettering

    i was surprised to see this thread come up again. this job has been installed, billed and paid for a long time ago but here is how i solved my issue. i laid cardboard on the table then rolled out craft paper on top, laid out my letters as they needed to be spaced. then traced each letter and...
  6. Is it an ink problem or a UV lamp problem? I wonder..

    if you are getting a quality print and only having a drying/curing issue i would lean towards the lamps. that's where i would start my corrections. like Gino asked, how many hours do you have on the lamps? as far as the brand of lamp, if you got a good span out of the existing lamps then i...
  7. Best vinyl for university table decals?

    no matter what you use if someone wants to remove it, pick at it or damage it then there is nothing that can be done to stop that. using a high tack vinyl is the best you can do. you can get a tamper proof material but that is generally polyester material and if picked at will only come off in...
  8. Morgue cart/cadaver carrier cover wrap. where to get and will it last with hospital cleaning/chemicals

    i think if you put cut vinyl on that it won't hold up due to the abuse it will take when not in use. printing on it may not work either, is it sewn in to a box shape or is it just a flat blanket type product? if it is sewn in any way to fit the table/coffin or body then you won't be able to get...
  9. Print on fluorescent vinyl help

    you would think so but stranger things have happened.
  10. Print on fluorescent vinyl help

  12. Anyone had bad experiences with SandF? Need a NYC substrate dealer

    we use the s&f NJ location occasionally and haven't had any issues as of yet but they are like 4th or 5th in our batting order so i don't really give them much business. normally i order online or email my sales contact with PO's. we do use Laird and E&T also and they are both pretty good suppliers
  13. Best Low Tack Vinyl Recommendations

    it's a toss up, you need a low tack that will stay up and also won't remove paint when removed. first even with low tack the longer its on the surface it starts to become more permanent (bonds more aggressively ) and if you get something that is not aggressive enough it will start to curl or...
  14. Flexcon Vinyls Issues?

    we have been using flexcon for over 40 years. mainly we get vinyl and polyester for our hot stamp roll label printer. never really had any issues. never really used their digital material. i think they are just trying to be more active in the digital market. they aren't really known for that.

  16. Wanted Looking for Gerber Edge 2 Foil, Blue Medal GCM-747

    yeah i guess the gerber edge is getting phased out. we sold ours like 4 years ago just because we weren't using it any more but it was a hell of a machine. that was our first digital print machine we bought back in 2001 or 2002. thing owed us nothing. good luck
  17. Roland TrueVis VGII-640 and TR2 Inks

    try that we had an issue i forget what it was but once we cleaned that it was fine. i have to say roland really crapped the bed with the truvis line in my opinion. we had one of the first models and it was nothing but headaches for almost 3 years. they finally got the printing issues resolved...

    maybe a polycarbonate lam but again like already mentioned, what type of harsh chemicals
  19. Roland- True Vis sg2-300 Printing Issues - HELP

    yeah looks like an alignment issue. you can try to do the manual alignments first. there are 2 tests you can do and adjustments after that like already mentioned you will need a tech . we traded our truvis in so can't really show you (that machine was a lemon since the day we got it)
