Just a Thought My thought is that the laminate came apart from the vinyl because the ink wasn't fully dry. Nothing to do with outgassing or outgassing was just a contributing factor. Thought is based on experience - lessons learned (don't want to go into the sordid details). For example, you...

Typo Typo: "Atlanic" on first page. Otherwise nice.

Most likely the encoder strip. If I recall, you can clean it with a lintless cloth and rubbing alcohol. See the forum for more info. My memory could be fading on the use of rubbing alcohol. We traded in our SP300 a couple years ago (for a new Roland). It was a great machine.

The Profit It wasn’t so much that the sign man didn’t shine a good light on the industry. I didn’t see him as unethical. A little (maybe more than a little) unaware of issues facing his employees, customers, and family perhaps. What really bit him was his argument with a former customer. The...

Run Away ! If it has been sitting for six months, the heads are (best case) clogged or worst case wrecked ($3,500 or so). Also, it doesn't run. Also, it is a discontinued model. But if you want to tinker, maybe 100 bucks? Or get the owner to pay you to haul it away.

On His Car On His Car: 3M or Avery cast material with cast overlaminate.

New Trick You might try sending the file to another location on your computer, then try opening it. No idea why it works, but it has worked more than once with our Flexi 8.x.

We are soon going to install a 20' X 3' sign face in a lightbox. Box previously had a formed sign and we may have to cut away part of a center upright (Looks to be two light boxes placed adjacent to one another.) Anyway, everyone on the shopping strip has a seamless sign of about 20' or so, so...

Print the greys. Cut the maroon.

One more tip about cleaning the encoder strip...It is easily reached by lifting up the clear cover and you can clean it by simply lifting the cover. However, you can clean it much better by removing the clear cover and the metal cover at the top of the machine. No need to remove the encoder...

Had the same problem today. My suggestion: After you clean the encoder strip with Isopropyl 70% and a lint free cloth as described here, run an initialize limit procedure. The instructions are on YouTube. With luck, that will have you up and running.

Let me reply to my own reply (checking my condition to see what condition my condition is in)....Just turned off the heater, but kept the dryer on low (38C) and we finally got through a 4 foot run. It only took us 25 feet of material to get there !!!!

Howdy Neckbone. Did you solve the problem? We are having the same problem with Oracal 3268 (6 mil) in our SP 300.

Try cleaning the encoder strip with a lint free cloth and alcohol. Test print looks good.

Try this link to make drop down boxes in CSS: http://www.elizabethcastro.com/html6ed/examples/#c12 And the book that it came from - info at http://www.elizabethcastro.com/html6ed/ is really good. Might be a few years old now, but still relevant.

Are you looking at the print inside or outside? With our SP 300, vector greys on our preferred vector profile tend to print with a reddish hue under fluorescent light, but go to a more neutral grey under natural light. Conversely, jpegs on our preferred profile tend to look greenish outside, but...

Since you brought it up, I am kind of curious to know how the McLaren Formula One cars - and a few other race cars I've seen - manage to get a chrome finish over a carbon fiber body. Do they print it on cast vinyl? Use 3M or similar cast in metallic silver? (Don't think that would be shiny...

When we moved our SP 300 from one shop to another, our Roland distributor told us, don't xx or you will yy. It was about a 15 minute trip. I don't remember what we did or didn't do, but if I recall correctly, we just printed some images on cheap vinyl and the problem - similar to that which you...
