Do you have any concerns with the longevity of the latex machines you have processing jobs that large? it seems like orders of that size should be done on heavy duty grand format machines that are setup for running millions of sq/ft through them. Unless you're deadlines on the job aren't super...

I'm not the OP, but he mentioned that there were some large upcoming projects as well, I would imagine if the jobs are lined up it would make more sense to do the work in house, if it was a one off project it may make sense to farm it out and not have to deal with the hassle, but for ongoing...

Welcome from just a bit down the QEW

Thanks! this is extremly helpful!

I am in the market for a new printer, I have run Rolands all my life and have no experience with any other brands. I've narrowed my search down to either a CVJ150-160 or a HP Latex with a stand alone cutter. I will not be looking at another Roland. We currently run a roland print/cut machine...

I wouldn't worry too much about that, the way the warantee's are written by all the vinyl manufacturers, they will have some way to get out of it, if it's not the ink, it will be the room temperature it was stored in, or the colour of shirt you wore the day you installed.

if the radius is gentle enough, we have used a standard cast plaque, paint the edges black, and use black caulking to fill the void around the edges, it's a nice clean look, I wouldn't do this if the gap on the sides is greater than 0.5" though or it will start to look messy. If you are looking...

I guess the old saying rings true, you get what you pay for!

I would be right around here as well, but i'm in Canadian Pesos.

Are you looking to track your inventory with it or just see how many PVC signs you sold last year? If it's the latter, set up a bunch of non-inventory entries such as "pvc sign" "mdo sign" etc, when you invoice a job, select the correct group, you can than run reports atthe end of the year to...

I agree, try printing the same file in uni-directional and see if that fixes it.

The vision has the option of adding the auto inserter, but we never went with it, when you have 300 signs to braille, it really doesn't make sense to double our machine time and have an employee standing idle while the machine does a job the employee could be doing while the machine is drilling...

We run a similar setup to what you are currently doing, but we run a vision engraver. My understanding of the auto inserter is that it's a gimmick, you basically use the engraver to drill the holes, than you have to do a bit of setup to have it put the beads in the holes, in the amount of time...

I've never had luck with rapid prep, every time I use it the substrate feels greasy afterwords, I always end up wiping it down with alcohol to get the greasy feeling off, I've never tried applying vinyl to something i've cleaned with it, I always thought it would fail.

Wallpaper streamer?

Good to know, thanks for clearing that up

Interesting, we have old roland versaworks files that were created with the original versaworks that can not be loaded into versaworks duo. Out of curiosity, I wonder what your workflow looks like, say you need to print, lam and contour cut 50 decals, do you create 1 file that has all 50...

Chocolate is spelled wrong on the puppy chow sign.

You used the wrong media, IJ40 is listed as flat surfaces or simple curves only, a ribbed trailer would be considered more than a simple curve. Redo with a decent cast vinyl and cast laminate and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

We run a VG640, previous versa works files are not compatible with versaworks dual, it won't open them. so no you will not be able to print on one and cut on the other.
