  1. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    Same. I’ve had my LEC300A since 2017 and I’ve done everything myself outside of the first couple tech visits. Things a junker, but it’s my junker. I’ll buy it’s big brother when it croaks.
  2. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    Who’s your dealer? If this left regular mode, it has to have been moved to service mode, right? It has to be able to be turned off. The hard line from cleanings is real, happens on my LEC300A, so that’s absolutely unacceptable. Whoever sold and installed that printer should be called and...
  3. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    Which goes away once you cycle a functional chip back into the printer. Call your dealer, if you’ve never putt third party in, this shouldn’t happen. This is a current generation printer, demand the love.
  4. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    This sounds like a vote for zero accountability more than you maybe thought it did. California requires too much. Everyone else requires too little. There needs to be a middle ground, which today we really don’t have. The industrial revolution and our lovely (lack of) laws in relation to...
  5. Client refusing payment

    No terms. No deposits. 100% payment, cash or card, at job approval. I don’t have time to work and play mobster.
  6. How do you guys keep track of orders/jobs currently in your shop?

    I only make one customizable product with 3 raw skus, so it’s literally just a print out of their paid detailed invoice with their graphic attached - cause a job isn’t a job until the money sings.
  7. Need Help Ujv100-160 refresh rate

    Have you called your dealer? That’s probably the right place to start.
  8. Roland Versacamm VP540 Help

    May I ask the point of risking time and money sending out the cheapest solvent heads on the market for cleaning? At $500 a pop on digi, it’s hard for me to personally understand the justification. The membranes in DX4’s are so sensitive, when it’s gone, it’s gone. Did this service offer a...
  9. Roll to roll UV printer?

    If you do your own maintenance and parts repairs, dig up a Roland LEC-540 or LEJ-640. The old ones. The new ones play the locked arrive mode TruVis games. I have an LEC300A and it’s an absolute tank. I also have a UCJV300-160, but the super matte ink of the Mimaki and larger ink droplet of the...
  10. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    The carrier film is so thin, and the adhesive is so bitey, that id be afraid to apply it to a 8.5x32.5 surface, even with wet apply. The surface area and curvature of a skateboard makes it such a mistake risk. As far as I’m aware, you have to be setup with clear and white for these, so you’re...
  11. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    The A/B sheet model would work fine for top of board prints, but the structure of how it’s all made wouldn’t be a my choice for a skateboard. Adhesives fail - bonds don’t. It would work, but it wouldn’t be a comparable. And not to mention the cost to produce, woof.
  12. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    Love to hear it!
  13. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    Yep. If it’s not paint/ink, it just doesn’t feel or perform correctly. It’s gotta smear or flake, not tear or buckle.
  14. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    haha love it! Excited to see what you've got coming.
  15. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    Sweet! My name is Preston. No need for confidence!
  16. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    That's what I love to hear! I don't know if you're using a rubber laminator or not to marry these, but something tells me a heat assist laminator would get you an even better visual output.
  17. Mimaki UCJV300-160 - Problem Printing Red

    The profile for Drytac Retac75 has really good reds. Profiles mean less in UV than they do for Latex or Solvent, since the ink sits on the surface cured, the media profiles are more of a “we believe this works best” if nothing else. Also, set your color management to Adobe1998 RGB &...
  18. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    I'm not aware of any individual color options in UV yet, but it's a CMYKlclm UV curable ink, in regards to anti slip tape, when it leaves the print head, it falls into the grains and groves of the surface, then the light hard cures it to the surface. Nothing is done after this. It's cut and...
  19. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    That's because you're using a non surface curing ink technology. I've attached a photo of what we can achieve on UltraGrip via direct to surface, 6 color UV.
  20. Skateboard Heat Transfer Material

    We do mostly custom one-off work, so the designs submitted are a little bit of everything.
