  2. Cat's out of the bag

    Well that's exciting. (Colorado with white - just to be clear what I'm excited about given the other posts............) I wonder when they'll make the official announcement and start rolling them in out in North America. Would be a perfect replacement for our UCJV with white.
  3. Cat's out of the bag

    How could it not? Was there a PG way to interpret that? :roflmao:
  4. Careful with solventinkjet.com

  5. Question Shall I make the change from Roland Xr-640 to a VG3-640?

    I personally wouldn't, assuming your XR-640 is still running well. We have one (XR-640) and won't be getting another Roland after this one. We started off with an XC-540 then got this one a few years ago, and they've been pretty solid but I don't like the way they're going with those TrueVis...
  6. Outbid by competition - fight or flight?

    We recently had something like this happen. Dealing with a new guy at an existing client's location. Super chatty/annoying/inappropriate/irritating kind of guy that seemed like he was off his rocker. Over the span of a week and several (useless) phonecalls, he told me no less than 5 times...
  7. Helping For Printing Banner

    Try exporting it as a PDF and printing out of Versaworks? Is that not how it's usually done?

  9. Print on fluorescent vinyl help

    Glad to hear you got it figured out! Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Those prints look great. :thumb:
  10. Print on fluorescent vinyl help

    What does your white nozzle check look like? Doesn't look like the white is laying down a solid layer and the overprinted colors are reflecting that. Black will look better because it's just darker/more opaque. If white nozzle check is fine, try slowing head speed way down or increasing...
  11. New Omega 8.0

    I noticed that new feature when we upgraded to 7. I've yet to test it out but I'm sure it will come in hand!
  12. Versaworks forcing tiles on prints?

    What is the default width? It could be that it's not set high enough, so when you bring file in it thinks it needs to tile it. I've had this happen a couple times and just went to reset/delete tiles, then increase media width, then let er rip. Manually adjusting tiles like you've noticed can...
  13. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    Well that's a weird way to make a sign (all around). Possibly a soccer mom with a cricut tryna be a "signmaker".....??
  14. New Omega 8.0

    We just (grudgingly) upgraded from 4.0 to 7.0 and I was actually surprised by how little changed. (Mostly glad) Some cool new features in plot that I like but honestly we'll probably never upgrade beyond this. Only did it due to OS/equipment compatibility issues. As long as we can open...
  15. Established sticker business looking to stop outsourcing

    Yes..............you will have to invest $$ in order to bring yer sticker makin' in house. I'd budget $50 - 100k for a good set up.
  16. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    The lesson here is don't answer phone calls when you're in Mexico on holidays! Lol. I don't know what I would say if a customer would make a comment about me taking holidays, but it would probably start with "go pound" and end with "sand".
  17. Summa technician in the St. Louis, MO area

    Ah, sorry! Was worth a shot. There must be some kind of sensor or contact switch there that is malfunctioning or shot. Hope you can find someone to get it looked after. Good luck!
  18. Summa technician in the St. Louis, MO area

    We had something similar happen on our older S140T. It doesn't recognize when the rollers are all the way down but will lose the "insert media" message when the lever is 2/3 of the way down. I just shoved a shim in there and it works.............might be worth a shot. (It stops the pinch...
