I'll give that shot next time the banding appears. Thanks! I used to download profiles from roland for each media type I was using, but so many of the Arlon and Orafol ones produced really crappy colors. Talked to someone in application dept at Roland, and he suggested Generic 1 v2 profile. We...

Some kind of tension related problem with the feed is one of the working theories. We've tried not using the the take up reel, and have still seen the issue, but I haven't tried it loose on the other side. I'll give that a shot today. Thanks!

WOW. That's crazy. The profile I've been using is the Versaworks default, (Generic vinyl 1 v2). Is that what you mean by generic, or is that a standard roland profile? it doesn't have the word roland in it, like some that I've downloaded, but it did come with the program.

Not really. Sometimes it's one big line, sometimes a series of bands that kind of taper off

We've been having this issue on our Roland VG-540 for some time, and also with our new VG-2 pretty much right out the box. These big thick horizantal bands that will appear sometimes just once on a print, sometimes a few times, but always at a random spot. This issue comes and goes...

here's a pic

Our pretty new Roland VG-2 just started printing these little "halo's" along the outside edges of the prints. The feed calibration and media gap adjustment (bi-directional) are all calibrated. Nozzle tests are good. The user manual doesn't suggest much beyond those two adjustments. Any insights...

Thank you Solventinkjet! downloading some arlon and orafol profiles now. As far as creating our own profiles, where do I begin? Is it better to invest in erqupment and do it ourselves, or hire someone to do it? If hiring out, I assume someone would need to come here to work on it? We're a few...

Thanks, I'll look into building some profiles. In the meantime, I have a bunch of downloaded profiles from rolanddga site (1 specific for each media we use) are there other places to get canned profiles?

We've been dealing with an issue with our Roland TrueVis VG-540 pretty much since we bought it. We can't get it to print a deep popping red. (pr42k). it always comes out an unattractive pinkish. Even when we print out the Roland Color Chart, it goes from dull copper to pink, with no firetruck...

The lines are always horizontal. What's ink starvation? Is that a cap top issue?

I'm trying to print a window graphic onto some "reverse microperf", the stuff where the adhesive is exposed, and you print directly onto it, then stick to the inside of a window with the graphics being readable from the outside. It gets a little bit of the way into the print, then quits, giving...

These lines have been showing up in my prints sometimes. Doesn't seem to happen when printing rows of stickers or things like that. But if the print is a large (usually dark?) area, like an expensive vehicle wrap, these show up at the darndest times. This is on a Roland True-Vis VG-540. We...

hmm, is that different from the limit initialization process? What's the steps for an encoder check? appreciate it!

This is a fun one. We're in the middle of a full wrap on a big food truck. About half of it was printed, when our 12 year old Roland XC-540 took a dump. Needs parts and a tech can't get to us for a while. It's looking like we're gong to need to finish the job on our 2 year old Roland True Vis...

Thanks I'll try that now. It says Move To Cap Position. I slide it home, hear the click. At this point I can still slide it the other way, but I don't. Then I press enter. Then it says Setting Up The Limit. Now it's locked in position. I can feel it. I press enter. You can see the carriage...

Interesting... That could be where my problem is coming from. I just went into Limit Initialization, it says Move To Cap Position, I slide the carriage home until it clicks, and hit enter, Printer says Setting Up The Limit, I make sure the carriage is all the way home, and hit enter, but as of...

Thanks! I'll bookmark this and bring it up when we're taking her apart.

Well that would be awesome! any insights on how I could confirm or rule that out?
