Every laminator behaves different and it changes with every product you put on it. What I do to prevent silvering is reduce the roller pressure, and with thick, or some of the problematic lams prone to silvering, I slow it down to let the heat penetrate the lam, the adhesive needs to get warm to...

Stop making me think on a weekend... :oops: As far as things like artwork, logical functions, and predictive text goes, AI is gaining great traction. AI automation in printing is probably on the horizon somewhere. There's a lot of variables for AI to act as a RIP server. Would it act better or...

Yeah, it can be like chasing your tail sometimes, especially when you can't get proper mfgr or dealer support. Good luck with it, hopefully you can get it running or find a service tech. keep us updated.

Usually it's the sensor. Sometimes the screw just comes loose, or the connector isn't seated and they won't read, or it could be bad. It could be something else, but if it works normally when it does read, that's most likely the culprit. I've had to replace them on a Roland, Summa shouldn't be...

I've wrapped a few kits for myself and others. Was thinking about re-doing my main show kit in VViViD Tek R black gloss carbon fiber. Ordered a sample of it and it's really cool stuff, nice high gloss and has a really cool 3d effect. I'd probably go over it with PPF to give it even more depth...

A "shop" could be anything from a rickety old printer and plotter in a leaky garage or basement to a 14,000sf facility like the one I work out of. Not going to get many inquiries or responses with such a vague description. So what capabilities does this shop have? What does it all do? Signs...

You can do it that way... Use a guide clamped to it to keep your groove straight when you route it, try to get it slightly over 90 degrees to account for spring-back when you bend it and still have a 90. Best to bend it with a brake, but you can probably get creative enough and bend it without...

Haven't heard anything like that (yet). Did they give you any clue as to why? How could wraps represent such a significant number of claims as opposed to any other aspect of the industry?

Vinyl wraps on the shells don't really have a noticeable effect, the wrap just needs to be trimmed back far enough from the bearing edge so the heads seat properly, and the hoops hide that. My kicks all have mic ports in the head anyway, so adding decals doesn't really affect that much either...

Hmmmm... Now I'm curious about wrapping one of my drum kits with this, and creating a "toxic camouflage" star decal for the kick head :rock-n-roll:

Wow... Just wow.

Uh oh...

Make sure the scan cable, drum, scan motor motor are all running freely, not binding, no gunk on the drum, and that the carriage tool screw is tight and not allowing the tool to slip a little on the cable. Remember having that issue a couple times on an old SC540, if it's the same setup it just...

It's been years since I played with Rolands... I know that whenever the env match didn't work, or made it worse there was another one I did that printed a pattern, ran cuts on it , and you had to manually enter values. They probably were two different things, but I usually ended up doing both to...

When you did the env match, did you do the automatic, or the manual adjust? The automatic doesn't always do the job. Used to have to do the manual one on all the Rolands I've run in the past to get it right whenever it started deviating.

Oven cleaner is what body shops used to get vinyl off of cars back in the day. Was one of the easiest ways to get all that fake wood grain off factories used to slap on cars back in the 60's & 70's, it worked great. Now it won't even clean an oven...

Yup, you can use waxes and ceramic coatings on wraps. Two things to keep in mind, one is with wax, use a non abrasive, non petroleum base. The other is they work well on gloss, but can cause problems on matte or flat finishes. Vinyls today are pretty resilient until they age out, and you can...

If alcohol won't take it all off, you need something mildly abrasive. A guy I know who does detailing does this, makes a paste by mixing baking soda and alcohol, dips a rag into it and rubs it out. He uses all kinds of weird stuff, even sometimes toothpaste to get marks and inks off of paint.

What would be the purpose for this? Curious...
