whelp there it is thank you!

The outside of the cradle rotates, but the opening of the inner part of the cradle where the groove sits is only wide enough to fit the tongue of the shaft in one way, perfectly lined up. It appears that the metal groove needs to be rotated until it lines up, but I'm not trying to force it...

Just assembled our new Gfp 350 TH. Super excited to start using it but currently stuck on a setup step. This could totally be a bonehead user error thing, many of these GFP components are new to me but I'm currently stumped. The groove doesn't line up with the opening of the cradle that the...

We got one! Stoked on the purchase, but stuck on a step, described below. any tips would be much appreciated

UPDATE: We ended up going with the Gfp 350 TH. Super excited to start using it but currently stuck on a setup step. This could totally be a bonehead user error thing, many of these GFP components are new to me but I'm currently stumped. The groove doesn't line up with the opening of the cradle...

Our old laminator has been here longer than I have. It seems to have no brand or manual, and it's starting to fall apart. It's the only one I've ever used, so I don't even know if when it was new, it was a nice expensive one or totally cheapo.. There's no heating element or air compression. I'm...

My StickerBrothers. I've been dealing with a similar issue on our VG-540. Many sticker/label cuts coming out misaligned, especially circles. I tried much of the stuff suggested in this thread before calling Roland himself, and using all pinch rollers helped a lot. Also the stuff people said...

Yes & no. I'm troubleshooting a similar issue on my VG-540. Mine is cutting everything wrong right now, but even when it was working, my calibrated printer could get away with cutting rectangles at a faster cutting speed than circles. When I try to do the circles at like 30, they come out...

My fourth pic indicates that, but the third picture seems to show I should adjust towards F +. They're from the same test. It prints one square on the left and one on the right. I guess the idea is to try to split the difference, but what does one do when the two sides suggest opposite adjustments?

I found this thread because I'm experiencing a similar issue. I'm going down the list of everything mentioned in this thread (thank everyone for sharing your insights) but I wanted to see if anyone recognizes this symptom . (Roland VG-540) when performing adjustments to the PRINT/CUT function...

Thanks Joe! Damper fill did the trick. no more drips and test prints looking good. Super appreciate it!

PICTURES BELOW A while ago I noticed drops of cyan ink on both of the media guides, and the surrounding area. Recently the drops have become pools, and it's getting on the media too. Right around when the issue went from "that's funny" to "this looks really bad" my nozzle test prints went south...

Thanks! super helpful. Have a great day!

Thanks!

I went to go print a backlit sign the other day, which we do like once a week, and the drag-down where you can choose how many times it will overprint is no longer there. I'm hitting PRINTER CONTROLS (wrench icon) hitting the button at the top to Use Custom Settings, and the only thing under...

I have a bunch of large spot graphics going on windows. printed on micro perf with crop marks, laminated, but the printer (roland vg-2) doesn't recognize the crop marks. The perf I used has clear backing. I thought that was causing it, so i peeled up the corner and stuck some white vinyl under...

A few questions about moving on from an older printer. Full Rant below: 1- what is the expected life span of a Roland printer/cutter, when used heavily, but taken care of? 2- Is there a market for old printers? In some ways they seem like vehicles. In a lot of ways the old ones were superior...

That's pretty much where we're at. Were you able to get any value for the soljet? Right now I'm not sure if we should spend whatever more to get it at least running and then post it for sale, or just try to sell it as is and be rid of it. I really believe a great but old machine like this holds...

Tempting, but not the path I'm on. This could be a great investment for someone who enjoys DIY tinkering, taking stuff apart and putting it back together, fixing stuff etc. That's not really me. I just work at the print shop, and my passions/side hustles aren't print related. Also this is a...

I'm the one man print dept. at a small but very busy sign/wrap/print shop. We have two of the newer True-Vis printers, and enough jobs to keep them both going all day, not to mention a crazy amount of time spent trouble shooting issues with these tricky machines. It doesn't leave a lot of room...
