I would stay away from hexis an arlon. they will not last and won't stay down as good as the 3m. Not even avery stays down as good. Doing wraps for almost 10 years and did a couple hundred cars myself last year i would say 3m ij180cv3 is the best. Avery is second. The rest? I would never offer...
Were I used to work at the owner kept all empty cartridges. Does anyone doing the same? I would like to buy them off of you if you have unopened cartridges and the printer tells you its empty ( with the chip)
Just do vertical seams. I have worked with vertical panels and horizontal panels for years. It doesn't matter on a sprinter or transit. The only thing you can do to make it look better is to print the door one piece and the fender another piece. No seams on front door or fender. We do horizontal...
every time you do a print - laminations - cut:
always align up your material and pinch rolls as far as you can go to the left. ( away from the original position of the head)
I had problems several times that the machine couldn't find the very last black dot mark. That was because the material...
everything is wrong with that video. there is a lot better way to put transfer tape on and I would never install die cut lettering that blindly. I always remove the paper and see if anything left on the peeled liner or to see if any paper left on the back of the letters (in case if the cut force...
How do you guys applu the tape? Laminator machine or manually on a table? If manually; have you tried to install it backward?
Usually what people do is lay down the cut vinyl and two people pull out the tape in the air above the cut vinyl and 1 person holds the transfer tape roll and the other...
Used it. Love it! Cheap material and it almost lays itself on the wall. We mainly used it for wall wraps without lamination. Holds up good an actually it conforms pretty good to uneven surface with heat and a rolly. I did a test piece in our shop on the bathroom wall. Really rough surface. The...
Update. Wow what a day... not sure if I fixed anything yet but I cleaned the encoder strip. The actual encoder strip! I was cleaning something else for no reason. Lol. I thought the encoder strip was that metal bar that looks kinda polished and it has screws every few inches. I googled it and...
Hi everyone. Thanks for the replies.
I don't use the media clamps when cutting ( only when printing when the printheads might get stuck) And I know exactly what you talking about, I am cleaning them regularly.
The material is not heavy. Roland tech also pointed out the same thing. So we held...
hexis is horrible! It will not stay down on the simplest concave areas. It is NOT compatible with primer 94 and it will give you fingers on edges. Avery was much better.
sometimes even if I remove the silicone the vinyl just wont tack to the surface no more. Doesn't matter if i clean it a million times with agent orange, xylene or alcohol.
Yeah sometimes cutting back on reapplying silicon on top of it is the best.
Hello everyone. I have a Roland VP540 and I have a big problem when I try to cut the material. Material starts sliding to the left (away from the control panel) even If i try to cut a 5' material! I don't have any problem with prints; I can easily print out 30-40' without reloading the material...
Next time use primer. We only use primer all around the edges. No clear tape. Clear tape is good for nothing! Moist and water will go behind it will get dirty back there and it curls back. Also if the adhesive side is already lost its stickiness try to put banner hem tape around the edges. You...
Have you tried to call roland? Can you just install teamviewer and just monitor the other machine from the one you using?
We only have 1 versaworks installed on 1 pc but our external hdd is shared so i can work on files from both pc and then just send the file to print either manually or using...
