  1. Need Help VS540i Printing terrible

    Yeah they go bad if they sit a month plus. After a month they can still be recovered but your chances go down hill each day it sits unplugged. From the head pattern missing nozzles in even blotches like this across multiple colors really looks like it’s had some severe head crashes into the...
  2. New Printer Research

    Cure times are a toothless tiger with solvent printing you guys need to get a Digi-dri Infered heater and wait time problem solved. Bake it as it comes out the printer, laminate it and kick it out the door immediately it just speeds up the natural process to where the prints are dry on the spot...

  4. Best 54" Printers

    That VJ54 is the same thing as their 1324. That head sucks first off on the 1324. I would scrape together another 2k and get the S40600 for $9k from Epson, the take-up unit and print quality is worth its weight in gold. From our experience signwarehouse warranty service sucks. You better buy...
  5. Newbie deciding when to take a leap

    Buy a used Roland SP540I that is in working condition for about $5k. It only has 2- $500 print heads so it's not expensive to maintain. It is also a printer cutter in one. If you are tight on money but have good credit look for a 12-18 month no interest credit card and buy it with that. If it's...
  6. Flexi to summa camera error

    You are working with the OPOS cam model? Not the regular crop mark detection model right? I think Flexi won't actually run the machine Flexi will only create the cut file for it to be sent to winplot and winplot has to drive the summa. You my need to set up a hot folder for the cut files to be...

  8. COLOR MATCHING HELP!!! cj-500 converted to sc-500

    You need a X-rite I1 device and use a RIP like Flexi 12. Print out ink limits and charts to build your own profile and you will be good to go. Expect spending a few days and a fair amount of vinyl on this as that printer is slow and to measure ink charts they will need time to dry. You can also...
  9. Need Help Chinese yb-2513 flatbed printer

    No it's not a good setup for you or even a current operation that knows what they are doing (no offense) You will have horrible tech support. Maybe a used Roland LEF Flatbed machine which is built on a really good platform is a direction you might want to look. Not perfect but you can still get...
  10. Need help with Roland SC-540

    First off don’t touch the electronics until you can easily get ink flow. Second flush your lines if the machine has been sitting that long. Let the solution sit overnight then pull flush through. Repeat this over a few nights. It’s common to have ink dry or sludge up the lines but won’t break...

It's a scam move on, who cares about paypal's policy and don't believe everything you read...

  16. What would you do?

    It's a free market don't get emotional about it you will loose every single time. Let them run their course and always be professional in your communication with them, if they need help charge them. They have a fairly good chance of failing from many aspects then once machines run out of...
  17. Question How much for Roland sc540Pro2 Ex Needs head and lines

    500 max unless you need parts maybe $700. Don't listen to what some seller says. You don't know if the boards are smoked in it too along with the heads. If they haven't had any carts plugged into it for a while lines won't be your problem. Tearing the entire back end of the machine off to get to...
  18. Suggestions As of 2019 Should I go for the TruVIS VG series or the VSi Series?

    Roland never used the DX5 print head only mimaki and mutoh did. The DX6/7 whatever people want to call it has been around for almost 10yrs now if not longer. Roland released the VS series September 1 2010 in the US. They had some internal issues with the VS machines so like Roland normally does...
  19. Suggestions As of 2019 Should I go for the TruVIS VG series or the VSi Series?

    The best Roland printer on the market is the EPSON S40/S60/S80600 The VSI is really old head tech now and has a bad design flaw with a single cap per all the colors. Read here: https://signs101.com/threads/how-to-return-roland-printer.151553/
  20. What is the market price for a used Zund G3 3XL-1600?

    It sold for $90k+ and was on global's website the next day for sale at $135k and still is as mentioned by BLY. I watched most of this auction. The crazy part was when you read about the company who was having their assets sold off and the reason why. The company who was fairly new claimed they...
