  1. Help pricing a used Roland VG-540i

    Just for a starting point, since this has been replaced by the VG2-540, you can probably figure about half of what a new printer would sell for. There is no warranty to offer with it (Roland doesn't allow transfer of warranty) and low hours is generally not a good thing with these machines...
  2. RF 640. Service Call 0330

    That's a choke valve solenoid error. The solenoids control which cartridge is feeding the head. Did you power it off for 5 minutes and back on again? Next I would update your firmware to the latest version. After that, I'd call your tech to come take a look at it. It could be a fuse, the...
  3. Roland DGA TrafficWorks

    Can it print? - Not the right question. It probably can print, but will you get the results you need is what you should be asking. Roland's compliant traffic media is Oralite 5900 with 5061 Laminate for permanent signage. So you can assume that it can print on the 5900. I'm not familiar with...
  4. Roland DGA TrafficWorks

    Your dealer will have to get qualified with Roland to sell this, but it's not a big deal - just education on the whole thing. I was able to get it done in an afternoon. The Roland package is teamed up with Oralite for the certified end product. Yes it is using the tried and true Roland inks...
  5. Need help figuring out a specific part number to order for Roland VS-640i printer and cutter

    Ask for part number US-Thumbscrew - Roland America sourced a screw with stronger steel to prevent them from stripping out as easily as the originals from Japan did. Good Luck
  6. Wrong cartridge error in Roland VS 300i

    Roland has a couple of inks that look similar. ESL3 and ESL4. To complicate it, they're also called Ecosol Max and Max 2. Your printer should take the ESL4/Max 2 inks. If you got the other ink, then it would cause this problem. Also, if you're using a third party ink, you can get this...
  7. Time to wrap it up and find a new profession around here :(

    Offer to cover up the vandalism with a partial wrap...
  8. Applying Vinyl Graphics to vehicles w/Ceramic Coating on Paint

    Yup - What unclebun said - you have to buff that off with a polishing compound. It's a big job.
  9. Anyone have L*a*b* color numbers for MUTCD traffic colors?

    These all inclusive packages HP/3M, Mutoh/Avery and others are utilizing an integral RIP with custom CMYK formulations of ink that are specific to the ink/media/rip settings combination. A L*a*b* value may work during daylight, but might not give the correct color when viewed at night with the...
  10. Hp 800w

    Don't you have a tech there to set it up for you?
  11. Need Help Color Nightmare

    What you're talking about here is that the person who profiles the Roland Generics is VERY good with building profiles for the Roland printers. Your idea of "good", in this case, memory colors may be different from someone else's idea of "good" which could mean color accuracy - matching a...
  12. Discussion Anyone that can add laminate to vinyl perfectly

    It helps to run an air filter / Air purifier constantly in the room as well. I used to just run a 20" box fan in my shop with a 20" furnace filter taped over the intake side. It did a decent job for only a few bucks. Good Luck
  13. Need Help Graphtec FC8600 - Cross Cut Blade Not Engaging

    This is pretty simple - go into service mode by holding down the Fast + Enter buttons while you power it up. When you press the menu button, you'll see >ADJ. as on option. Press the right arrow. Down arrow twice should get you to the page with the C-Cutter POS ADJ. Press 2 to enter this mode...
  14. XC-540 Not Connected Troubleshooting

    I would try uninstalling the printer from VW and reinstalling it. If you can't or that doesn't fix it, then I would initialize Versaworks - go to the Start Menu>Roland Versaworks>Initialize Application. This will basically reset the software to like "newly installed". I hope this helps...
  15. Onyx 12 and FC9000

    It likely won't work with the older software. Barcode won't work for sure. You can generally do cut only with older drivers, but when the computer needs to "hear back" from the plotter - as in reading crop marks or bar codes - you have to have the driver specific to that model of plotter...
  16. Contour cutting Magnetic

    You'll only be able to do small batches this way. Cut your job up into 2 foot sections or so and don't try to pull this material off the roll - run it as separate sheets. If you're going to try to do any kind of quantities, either sub it out or get the flat bed plotter as recommended above.
  17. Bar Code missing Part

    So, is the plug in adding the barcode and you're cutting from the plugin? Or is Onyx adding the barcode and you're cutting from Cut Server? Have you tried to use the other system? Good Luck
  18. Roland SP540 Rebuilt Need Help!

    Did you use OEM parts? or third party parts?
  19. Ronan: Japan Color VS Aquacoat

    Luis, if you're new and uninformed, why are you deciding to limit yourself to Ronan paints. Johnny has a lot of experience and if you're looking to grow in this business, you really shouldn't dismiss his (or anyone's who's been doing this for some time) advice. If you came here to learn, you...
  20. Can you do cut through with kiss cut knife?

    It would depend on the vinyl/lam combo that you're trying to cut. Most of the time I train customers to just use the CB09 blade for both kiss cut and perf cut. You can do both either over the cut strip or the pounce channel.
