  1. New VS540i...issues with black cutting out

    Forgot to follow up on this: Tech replaced damper and that completely fixed the black issue...all is well now, carry on - nothing to see here :)
  2. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    Do you find the 60 degree blade on non-lam and lam jobs have greater accuracy? I've never tried it, but I'm willing to if you're telling me you get better accuracy?
  3. Possible to nest contour-cut job and non-contour?

    You could also build ONE file that has both the part that needs cutting and the parts that don't and not bother with nesting, then run it as a print/cut job and it'll only recognize the cut line on the one part. Another option :)
  4. Distance between "Custom Sheet" option?

    Is there any way to chance the distance between sheets when using "custom sheet" size option? On our old 30" printer, there was only about 1" distance between sheets but on our new 54" seems there's between three and four inches between sheets...just a waste of material. When we're doing sticker...
  5. Webbing Laminator....What's your method?

    That's exactly how we laminated everything on our 30" printer (backing off, pull lam through and drop roller). Tried that with the 54" and it was not having it. The only way I was able to get the 54" to feed properly was to pull lam+liner through rollers, drop them and slit the lining like you...
  6. Webbing Laminator....What's your method?

    What a learning curve! Coming off our 38" Daige, to our new 63" USTECH has been one heck of an experience. So much more room for error when laminating 54" prints. We finally got it laminating 20ft runs without wrinkles after a bit of fussing with it, but I figured I'd ask about your tips and...
  7. Daige Solo Laminator

    Sounds more like operator error....we have a daige quickmount3 38" and it works perfect, every single time. We messed the first print up that we laminated with it, and in seven years haven't messed one up since. That's not an exaggeration either. I have a big squeegee for masking, and I've...
  8. Roland SP-300V not printing??

    Our SP300V black/cyan head is similar. Cyan nozzles are PERFECT. Black head has about six small deflections....It happens. Glad you got it sorted out. Even though the nozzle test is showing funky, have you tried printing anything? How do the actual prints look? Our black head has those...
  9. New VS540i...issues with black cutting out

    Nozzle test shows perfect - all nozzles firing. Normally we print everything max impact, but for this particular one we can't due to a photo at the top half. Didn't want all the colors in her face orange so we print all photos prepress. Print was not paused, we reprinted a couple of times (a...
  10. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    here's a picture of stickers that were print cut in a 9" run on 8mm/second cut speed (super slow). You can see it's not even cutting straight back? Feed cut is off, they're cut crooked and they're not even off the same amount from right to left side of the printer. Nothing consistent...
  11. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    The cuts on our brand new VS540i are crooked when they should be going straight back. Somehow....don't know if it's a pinch roller issue/feed issue or what, but the sheet on a print/cut job (without crop marks) must be rolling crooked through the machine as it goes back and forth. Day 8 on this...
  12. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    I'm with you....I think sticker cutting is blowing it out of proportion. I'm sure it can be dialed in. I know it can...
  13. New VS540i...issues with black cutting out

    Hey Guys....been exactly seven days since delivery on this and now I'm having a new issue. Trying to print two 24"x32" A-board skins side-by-side. Majority of it solid black. Seems the black may be cutting out? Or?? I've tried printing this file three times on different oracal medias with the...
  14. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    hmm....our ten year old SP300 is spot on....everytime. This VS540i, not so much. I'll report back tomorrow. I'm hoping we can get it close.
  15. Cut misalignment on XR-640

    Currently having the exact same issue with our brand new VS540i as well. Print/Cut align shows perfect. When you go to laminate and put it back to read crop marks, there isn't two stickers that are alike. Doesn't matter how short the run is (most of our runs are sticker runs 2ft to 3ft) one was...
  16. Roland SP-300V not printing??

    Well that's no reason to punish him and leave him without any advice. If we can help him, we should. This forum is a place for people to help people. If you bought it from a roland dealer, that dealer should have showed you everything about cleaning etc before they left. If not, make them come...
  17. Roland SP-300V not printing??

    This is another crazy outlandish Idea too but It might be worth checking. Pull that black ink cartridge out and make sure they haven't cut the tab off the ink cartridge and that there's actually ink in the black cartridge if you shake it.
  18. Roland Colour Nightmare

    I gotta say....this idea right here is actually pretty brilliant.
  19. Roland SP-300V not printing??

    Could be cap tops....If black is printing purplish, that's not necessarily crazy. The black/blue are the same head, so somehow ink is making it over from the blue side to the black side. I'd lean toward cap tops needing replacing, but the blue seems to be pulling through the head fine. Hmmm
  20. VS540i metallic and white questions

    It'd be nice if the VS540i would run circulation on it's own twice a day....hopefully eliminating the need to manually do it before every print job. Even then, I'm not sure that'd work....that, or how about two nipples on the WHITE ink cartridge - one outgoing and one incoming. So circulation...
