  1. Need Help Roland VP-540 Connection Problems

    ....And what the heck, this thread is from 2018. Arg.
  2. Need Help Roland VP-540 Connection Problems

    Again, if you can find a local Roland expert, consult with them.... However, it looks like you are using VersaWorks and may not be up to date on your latest firmware. To update your firmware, go to Edit/Preferences/Roland@Net and select Japan if USA or Germany or other country is greyed out...
  3. In the market for cheaper laminator.

    We bought a 60" DMAIS laminator on toolots.com for less than $2,000 a couple years ago and it's been tremendous - knock on wood. Chinese made and comes without instructions, but it was easy enough to figure out. It has a heating element too, but we've never used it. (I'm a little afraid of...
  4. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    I have one real estate customer and not taking any more. That said, digging holes with a post hole digger seemed like too much work, so I got a power auger from Harbor Freight for about $200. Problem solved? The first - and last - job I did with my power auger was at a site with very little...
  5. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    $.04/ft. given my other ballpark figures. Not insignificant.
  6. HP Latex 360 Printer cost per square foot?

    Don't forget depreciation. Price of the machine/years of use/sq. ft. per year of material. For example, $20,000/5 years....$4,000 / 16,000 sq. ft. (per year) = $.25 per sq. ft. This is an example as I have no idea what an HP printer costs or how many sq. feet you print per year.
  7. Feed moves while detecting crop marks

    Roland VersaCamm VS 540 user here. On our machine, if all or part of the right crop mark is lined up with the right roller, the machine will read the right mark, but search unsuccessfully for the left crop mark.
  8. Flexi 21

    My Flexi Design 19 has a Send to EnRoute button. I assume it works. I believe Flexi is on 21 now and expect to see the EnRoute button on that when we upgrade, though I can't confirm. When we installed VersaWorks on the same computer as Flexi 19, the VersaWorks button strangely went away for...
  9. Window perf lifting in corners... solutions?

    Sometimes we use a 3/8" or 1/2" strip of black vinyl on the edges if we have to trim back from the edges or the edges lift.

    Thank you! This is very kind of you!
  11. Thinking of buying the SignWarehouse Vehicle Wrap Kit

    This thread started in 2010.
  12. Anyone Going to the SEMA Show Nov. 2 - 5

    Anyone Going to the SEMA Show Nov. 2 - 5? Likely to have cutting edge wraps and wrap suppliers there. Learned a lot when I went about 5 years ago. Going again this year.
  13. Roland SP-540i or VP-540

    I'm familiar with the SP and VS, but not the VP. The SP prints well, but is fairly slow and in our experience, had some occasional issues with the ribbon and measurement strip. It was a good machine in its day, but today would be more hassle than it's worth. In my opinion. No experience with...
  14. Making Vehicle templates

    Been using ArtStation for more than 10 years. It's really, really good. Nothing compares. It's very accurate.
  15. Cut Numbers & Letters Pricing

    We have a price for a pair of Truck doors, to include company name, USDOT, MC numbers and city or phone number. We probably should set a price for just a pair, like USDOT, etc., though I usually just charge the minimum for that if it's in black or white. Almost no one comes in and winds up...
  16. Suggestions Flexi 19: Is there Still a VersaWorks Button?

    The Send to VersaWorks button in Flexi 19 has miraculously reappeared. Somehow it updated itself. Perhaps when we updated VersaWorks to 5.51 through the Japanese Roland website. So...patience is the solution?
  17. VersaWorks Prints Twice (or more)

    I'm interested in and will try 6. Though I'll have to find some time and make sure the upgrade doesn't interfere with our existing settings and tweaks. Since so much of our business is from returning customers, we have to make sure new material matches the old. Thank you Sean for providing the...
  18. Need Help Vinyl Graphics on Tanker Truck

    If you can remove the ladder, I'd say that's half the battle. If it were our job, my first go would be to mask the top (curve or hex) and the bottom hex as well, leaving the center unmasked. Cut the mask and backing close to the decal. Probably don't need to be super precise, but you don't want...
  19. VersaWorks Prints Twice (or more)

    Hello All, We have a Roland VS-540, running VersaWorks 5.5.1. I recently moved VersaWorks from our old Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 machine. To move the program, I used our VersaWorks 4.5 disk, then updated through the Japanese location within the VersaWorks program. (The US update...
