Are these time sensitive prints? We laminate everything cold (unless specified by the manufacturer) and we get some silvering but this disappears within a day or so, or when the prints are applied to a substrate.

If you are getting curling I would also look at your profiles and ink limits and even the artwork itself. More ink = more curling. A lot of artwork is rgb or has rich black up to the edge/bleed. This amount of ink on the edges of the decals doesn't help.

Black and chrome and green chrome can be produced with any regular eco solvent printer by using printable chrome vinyl, then laminate and cut. Gerber Edges are good machines, but it wouldn't be the first printer I would buy. For example a used Roland Versacamm is a far more versatile printer and...

Hi guys, We have an old VS-300 (not VS-300i) currently running on Versaworks 5. I''d like to upgrade to Versaworks Dual because of the way it handles transparency, but it seems that my printer isn't supported, although the VS-300i is. Is there any way to fool Versaworks Dual into running my...

Thanks, yeah I think the full harness is $500 not to mention the time it would take to install it. Running a new wire took 30 minutes or so. I hope somebody else finds this useful.

Is this a brand new foil? Sometimes I get problems with medals when there is too much used foil on the take up side of the cassette. It's almost like it can't hold enough tension in the film to stop it grabbing or creasing. Maybe because the medals are metallized, they crease rather than...

UPDATE - problem solved! So over the weekend I did some trouble shooting. I managed to get the printer started with the cover in the up position. Once the printer is running and in OFFLINE mode you can press F2 and F4 together to enter the manufacturers menu. Then press F2 to enter the sensor...

Thanks for the reply. The cartridge and head move up and down smoothly with no noise. I get the 'homing error' when I first power on the printer. With the cover off you can see that the Z motor screw moves all the way to its upper limit without stopping, then the nut bottoms out against the...

Time to resurrect this thread. Ran a job this morning and my Edge FX stopped before printing the first foil, giving me the 'fatal error 630'. The when I rebooted it, it gave me the 'Homing Error'. The printer is clean and well lubed and the problem happens with all foils. It seems that it's...

So you are going to offer a personalised service, free design work, higher quality products and be cheaper and faster than the market leader? Sounds too good to be true.

I assume you are using a print+cut machine? If so it's probably temperature related. The vinyl at the end of the cut job could be slightly colder. Try cutting at a lower temperature but with slightly more pressure for more consistent results.

Hmmm, strange. It's a very specific type of vinyl to recommend for general use. I guess it depends what you asked them. If you mentioned that you need something that will stick to lots of different things, then I guess this product will do the job :-)

If it's anything like the snowmobile or motocross vinyls I have used, this type of vinyl will have a large quantity of very strong adhesive on it. It's designed to be used to stick to low energy plastics in cold conditions. It will stick to pretty much anything but it's probably overkill for...

When you run a manual alignment it shouldn't try to read any crop marks itself. Once you have B123 set you just send the cutting data and it cuts. It sounds like you left Crop Marks 'on' in Versaworks which will override your manual alignment. You need turn them off then just send the cutting...

In Versaworks under the File Format tab, check the EPS margin is greater than zero. Set it to 0.35mm.

What cutter are you using? Maybe look at automating part of the production process. A Summa S Class would handle a full roll of stickers including contour cut and through cut into individual decals. All you need to do is pick them out of the basket and package them. This would be more a...

Here is a link to the new VersaExpress printer that runs the Max 3 inks. This is the EU site, I can't see this machine on the US site. Strange. https://www.rolanddgn.com/products/printers/versaexpress-rf-640-8-colour-printer I got in touch with my tech guy on Friday and he said it's possible...
