Yeah it's great stuff. We stopped using the AE version but print tons of the regular HTAP version every day.

signheremd summed it up nicely. This question gets asked on a daily basis - you'll probably find thousands of similar threads from over the years. Things to keep in mind: -Budget -Intended application(s) -Space available for said equipment -Which dealer(s) can provide the best/fastest/closest...

Looks like a nice unit, especially when paired with all their finishing equipment. What does that printer go for? Would probably be a hell of a lot faster than a UCJV, that's for sure!

I think he's looking to print "waterslide" type decals, not to be confused with decals for a water slide, lol. Random google search brings this...

Thank you!! Got it swapped this morning and despite a couple of hiccups we're back up and running. Thanks again.

Good to know, thanks! Will look into it.

That's pretty bad. I would assume they've got some pretty serious legal exposure there if they're not in compliance while storing card/client info. I've never used them before but definitely won't now. Thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone happen to have install instructions for Carriage board replacement on a F1612? We blew our slot 3 a few months ago and now just blew slot 2. I have the board and the "instructions" that came with it are just a QR code that leads me to a dead end on a Summa website. Can anyone...

Nozzle check looks perfect. When you say "than what is intended".......is that based on what you see on screen or how those colors were output from a different RIP? This is probably a color management (or lack thereof) issue. Are you by any chance using Roland spot colors to set up your...

Have you printed this exact job/file using all the exact same settings before and had different results? Bouncing back and forth between 2 different RIP softwares is sure to introduce a number of possible opportunities for unpredictable results. What does the nozzle check look like? Unless...

FireSprint.com how would you account for something like the following (from a little job we just ran this morning) 3 signs @ 36" x 36" 3mm ACM, High tack vinyl & matte laminate I created a "substrate" that combines ACM + vinyl + lam but I think I need to factor in material yield etc. For...

How long is the job/batch? Are you printing w/ intermittent marks?

Which Aslan product are you using for this? We usually just reverse print on 3651 clear then back w/ 651 white but with lighter backgrounds it definitely doesn't block out the light 100%. Thanks!

Nothing like getting fatal errors on a brand new printer! Hope you get it sorted out.

Just heard of this one today on a podcast, sounds/looks pretty impressive: https://www.torqcrm.com/home-page

Apex does make flatbed cutters but I don't think they're associated with Roland, but I might be wrong. Then again based on the first post.............................. nevermind. :peace!:

I think it's the lack of effort that is most surprising. If you actually have those materials and are trying to cut them, just measure them with a micrometer as mentioned. It's a great tool to have around the shop. All the materials that you listed probably total 100 different possible...

What kind of Roland do you think you're going to be cutting all those materials on?

We've been replacing 3M 8518 w/ Arlon 3220 Gloss, and much prefer the Arlon product's finish and price point. Unfortunately (for Arlon I guess) 3M 8418 comes in even cheaper than 3220 so we're considering moving to that now.

I feel like this is 3M's MO. We're not printing anywhere near that scale but we've run into issues with their "premium" products for years. Mostly with 8519 and 8518 laminates. Depending on the rep, they would either flat out deny that they've had any other complaints/issues or nonchalantly...
