Update: The tech replaced the feed motor and the gear that the shaft for the grit roller attaches to. Fixed the issue. I've started cleaning with a toothbrush. good thing too, because since we've been doing die cut stickers, cutting through the backing on purpose, we're creating a lot more...

I reckon we will invest in a plotter as we take on larger volume sticker orders. In the meantime, I've spent the last few months fiddling around with cutting stickers on the Roland VG-3 printer/cutter and I'm pleased to report that after much trial and error, we are now getting super clean, die...

I am sensing our shop will soon invest in a good plotter to cut stickers on, as we take on higher volume orders. For now we are rocking with the Roland VG-2 and VG-3 Printer/Cutters. After lots of hours of tests and trials, different blades and pressures, exploring and later abandoning "perf-cut...

Pictures included. when advancing or pulling the sheet, you can hear a loud squeak coming from the right grit roller. The cuts are coming out all wonky. Has anyone else encountered this? We have scheduled a warranty covered tech visit, and I'm wondering if it will be a matter of cleaning or...

Interesting! The empty edge around the stickers is where the perf cut will go? And then the kiss cut is to avoid disturbing the crop marks, then weed the stickers, switch the blade, and run it again with only a perf cut? I'm going to try that, thanks! I wonder if doing just the perf cut on that...

I'm also curious about how often to replace the cut strip. How hammered is too hammered? Often after a run of perf cut stickers, there will be a small cut across the strip under the cutting area. I don't usually change it until I notice a blade tip snapped off, then I replace both, or maybe one...

Great tip for breaking down the rows. I will try that, thank you! I've been printing the single rows with crop marks just for all these tests. When I do adjustments between those, and get it dialed, I take them off and put on the job, printed with regular size space between the crop marks...

ah the mysterious Truvis bands! We used to see those a lot. This is a longshot, but if this easy trick works you'll be stoked! We had kind of similar banding issues with of VG-1 and VG-2. Tech suggested static, starvation etc. What ended up working for us was simply removing the ink cartridges...

This post is specifically focused around using the Roland VG-2 Printer/Cutter for laminated, die-cut stickers. I've been on the perf cut journey these past months. Learning a lot, but wouldn't say I've got it 100% dialed. I have more questions now than when I started, but have completed some...

Yes, if you import the same file twice, one with a contour cut and one with a perf cut, and every other setting identical, that should work. first cut the contour file, then line the media back up from the top, and do the perf cut. I had a Roland engineer here a while ago, and I asked if there...

bought a GFP about a year ago. We use it every day, zero complaints!

We use Arlon SLX cast (54"x150') for most of our printed vehicle wraps, and Arlon Fusion for application to flat surfaces like box trucks. Someone called offering us Briteline WrapCAST Vinyl Film that's about $200 cheaper per roll. When comparing kits with laminate, We could save almost $400 if...

Thanks! The computer has 8.00 GB (7.37 GB usable) installed RAM. It appears apps, documents, stuff on the desktop is using next to nothing. In settings, under storage, it says I'm using 650 of 819 GB on "other" stuff: dropbox, creative cloud etc. not sure what, if anything I should be deleting...

Thanks! There's a couple big files in there still that are unfinished, but I deleted all the other old stuff and still can't get these new ones to rip past 1%. But if I grab another random large file, like a full vehicle wrap side, those will rip fine. It's just this one job with the layered...

Versaworks 6 , Roland VG-2 My graphic designer just gave me these monster print files for a food truck wrap. The dimensions aren't more than one of our regular vehicle wrap jobs, but I guess it has of layers of glows or shadows or something, I don't really speak illustrator. In preferences I...

that's my old thread derp! lol thanks

Does anyone know the street fighter code to put the vg2 in service mode? I'm seeing some drippy symptoms that I remember resolving once by doing a damper flush. I had a tech on the phone who read me the button combo that time and I forgot to write it down. Thanks!

Here's a video of me running some paper through the machine as a test before running these precious prints through it. I think I have a halfway decent grasp on the knob for the backing takeup, but I still have no idea how the knob for the upper supply shaft functions. In the video you can see...

Update: After getting stuck on some super basic steps, we have run some jobs through it and they look great. not comfortable with the machine yet though. These four clutch/brake knobs on the sides are completely new to me. Our old cheaper one didn't have any of that. Any tips on how those work...

Update: purchased the GFP 355th, and after getting stuck on some super basic steps, we have run some jobs through it and they look great. not comfortable with the machine yet though. These four clutch/brake knobs on the sides are completely new to me. Our old cheaper one didn't have any of that...
