  3. Roland print and cut alignment

    pay attention to your rollers! Raise the rollers with the arm and check if the rubber coating on the rollers are loose. Happened to me a few times in the past decade and when it first happened 10 years ago even roland techs didn't know what caused my issue. They asked me to do calibrations and...

  5. Need Help What happened to my file? Never seen this before.

    OMG... well.. I guess that explains it. LOL. In over a decade this was the first time that I forgot where the file was created and tried to open it with the wrong software. To be honest usually I never save pdf from photoshop so I assumed if its pdf it must have been saved in ilustrator. That's...
  6. Need Help What happened to my file? Never seen this before.

  7. Need Help What happened to my file? Never seen this before.

    It's not one layer. If you look at the images you can see that my design got infused into multiple circles that I had as a background for the design. It's like 5-6 circles and i can release the clipping mask on those but it looks like the original design got rasterized that masked into multiple...
  8. Need Help What happened to my file? Never seen this before.

    I just tried to save another pdf file without preserving the editing capabilities and after closing the file and reopening it I was still able to take apart the file after releasing clipping mask. It did not destroy the design. So I don't think that was the issue. ( Also had the fast web...
  9. Need Help What happened to my file? Never seen this before.

    Hey. I have a file that i have worked on in illustrator a year ago. I saved it as a PDF and I wanted to grab a logo from the design and several parts of the file got infused in a weird way. The vehicle outline was on a different layer. I did not rasterize any part of the design. The background...

  11. Question 3M Cast vinyl shortage?!?!

    I do hate how the ij180 installs. I print with solvent and even after letting it sit 24 hrs its waaaaaay to tacky. Leaves bubbles that do no go away even if you poke them. If it touches itself or the surface the air release is ruined. Switched to 1105 for a couple years. Then I realized avery...
  12. Need Help Colors don't match between panel in the same rip.

    Same issue here. Rolan printer ( solvent) with 3m ij 180 material. Everything as changed on the machine. oem head, captop, dampers. Still had the same issue. had the option turned on where the rip software flips every other panel. Didn't help. I made sure the room has a steady temp ( if you turn...

    Fellers said cant get no cast vinyl. no 170 or 175 either.
  14. Question 3M Cast vinyl shortage?!?!

    Can't even order it from fellers anymore. They told me 3M ran out of something and can't produce cast vinyl no more. I was able to get some from grimco for now.
  15. How many different vinyls do you regularly use?

    ij40 for any flat surface. short or long term ( I have dozens of box trucks out there with no rivets that has 40c on sides and back for over 5 years and holds up better than 180 on the hood) And use ij175 for car wraps. 180 costs way too much.
  16. dark grey printing brownish

    what Obada just said.
  17. dark grey printing brownish

    Not sure if anyone ever mentioned it but if you want perfect grey / black colors you need to design in illustrator and use roland spot colors. Also with older versaworks 5 you can not have fading colors/ transparency or rasterized layer in the design or the spot color won't work. Same when you...
  18. Video Game Background

    just do it. I have done a few game trailers with all the nintendo, capcom, sony, microsoft, tc characters. No issues. But one of my clients got their logo done that was a complete ripoff of The Godfather. ( with the hand and pupetteer stuff) . They did get a letter to change their logos or else.
  19. Tiger King

    Weird characters but Making a murderer is a bigger wtf story. in my opinion.
  20. Bare minimum to charge / ask during pandemic? Lowest price you would comfortably go down to??

    NEWS! I won't be taking this job whatever happens. Even if they agree to $1700 or $2000. I just spoke to my buddy and when i told him the story he immediately asked me if was this and that guy from this and that company. So it turns out he was doing the job for him. The issue is not that his...
