  1. small runs of stickers not laminated...suggestions

    3164 is a promotional vinyl, with a price that reflects that. Of course it shrinks....if you want vinyl that doesn't shrink, then you pay for something other than the cheapest vinyl that's printable. 3164 is excellent for handout stickers.
  2. small runs of stickers not laminated...suggestions

    I'd love to have his customers^^^ We sell 3164 5 rolls to one of anything else we stock. Print/Cut unlaminated and our customers keep coming back. Turn your print temps down and it'll be fine. Also, if that doesn't work just print with crop marks let them dry a day then cut them the next day.
  3. 3651 Profile giving Pink instead of Red

    Are you on VS540i as well?? seven color?
  4. small runs of stickers not laminated...suggestions

    We print/cut thousands of stickers on 3164G every month without letting the ink cure and no problems. Set your heater temps to around 100F-102F and run em. 3164 is one of the only films we've been able to immediately print/cut without having curling issues. We tried some other brands and the...
  5. Versaworks help - Green Gradient on black only prints black

    As suggested above, save it as a JPG and print the JPG image rather than the vector file.
  6. Roland SP300V Service Mode Password

    Someone posted this a long time ago and I saved it.
  7. 3651 Profile giving Pink instead of Red

    Hey guys! Roland VS540i w/ Seven Color+White Config, Versaworks Rip, Orafol 3165G Profile, EPS files. Color: 5-100-100-0 & 0-100-100-0 (RED) This is the color values we have ALWAYS run with our old setup and gotten decent reds. For some reason, we're sending the same exact files to our new...
  8. Shrinkage

    That vinyl is probably 25 years old....I've never been to any post office that had fresh graphics. The fact that the US government would sub out work to a printer out of the country is appalling.
  9. What material for printing non-glare photo backdrop on Roland SP540i

    We use 13oz scrim matte on a regular basis for this exact purpose. Backdrops, step and repeats etc.
  10. Only had my VersaCamm for a week, but seeing issues with Red showing as Orange.

    Will do WHAT very quickly? We run max impact on 99% of our prints for years and never have bleeding ink....it was most likely a piece of dust on the bottom of the print head grabbing spray from the nozzle then dripping.
  11. Printing White Ink to Clear stickers -- First Time!

    Did some testing this morning using different settings CCVP and Generic Clear. Both Profiles produced same results so we stuck with CCVP, white only, standard quality, overprint 2 times. Probably could have gotten away with one pass, but I'm picky and our printer doesn't run 24/7 so I have...
  12. Arlon Printed DPF 4500GX falling off of Acrylic Painted sign - Help

    Had a black aluminum trailer fail with Arlon film, never will I use it again....
  13. Printing White Ink to Clear stickers -- First Time!

    Hey guys! Finally ready to put this white channel to some use on our new VS540i! It's not a huge order by any means, but I'm glad, because it'll give us the chance to really play with the white ink printing on clear vinyl...these particular stickers are White ink ONLY (no color) on clear 3651...
  14. SP 540i horizontal banding

    Have you tried a different roll of vinyl with same results? If you get past that first stripe, and let it continue printing, does it happen again? Did you pause the print?
  15. Looking for input on ink

    ^^What he said. We never run anything but OEM. People have success both ways. Only way I could consider running third party EVER is: A. If machine is already out of warranty, and B. If the savings per ink cartridge over X amount of time was more than the price of a new head+install. The...
  16. Recommendation for permanent wall vinyl decal

    On REALLY tall walls, we'll go as far as tucking little tiny staples as far up against the top edge as we can about 12-16" apart. Customer never sees them, and I sleep better at night :)
  17. Recommendation for permanent wall vinyl decal

    hmmm...we've done heavy black wall prints before to even 3164 and installed to the wall with no issue. Only sat four days before installing.
  18. Take up reel from china for Roland printer...anygood ya think?

    That eBay one is the same one they're selling for $399 at our local sign shop as a "Cascade Takeup System" http://www.pacificcoastsignsupply.com/roland-printers/cascade-take-up-systems.html Seems it would work really well....the concept is the same no matter which one you go with. I just...
