  1. SP540 Headstricks with 13oz banner

    Set the carriage height to high (the white lever on the left side of the print carriage). Use all your pinch wheels that will fit. Use the roll holders that came with the printer, don't set the banner directly on the bars in back. I generally recommend using about 35c for the print heater...

  3. Need Help VS540i Printing terrible

    It only looks like a wiper is missing. Don't worry about it. The one you have is trash though. Your felt looks good, but it's in the wrong position. Your print head is a lost cause though. You'll need a new one and as indicated before, a set of dampers to go with it. Since you're not...
  4. VersaWorks Product Key

    It doesn't have one. It's a free RIP (or more accurately an included RIP) that only works with Roland printers and uses a connected printer to activate the software. Does the Onyx offer include trading in Free software? Or just competing software like Flexi or wasatch or others that you pay a...
  5. What equipment can you not live without? When to buy it

    You'll have an easier time with a sprocket plotter, but Gerber software should work with both Summa and Graphtec as they both made friction plotters for Gerber at some point and were working with the print/cut workflow. Check to see which drivers you have listed in the "Add Plotter/Router"...
  6. WTB flexisign pro that will use plotter Roland VS-300I

    You can still but a perpetual license for Flexi. Find a Flexi dealer in your area - they can set you up.
  7. Color codes given are always conflicting

    I'm not one to think of these things at the time, but did you think to ask where he got the other vehicles printed and why he didn't go back there? I bet if you got the story from the other graphics shop, they'd be saying the same thing about him "ya idiot"
  8. Color codes given are always conflicting

    RGB and CMYK color specs will vary from device to device, so they are not reliable communications tools for color values. Pantone is a color standard, but intended for offset printing, not CMYK inkjet printing. There are a lot of sign shops that don't fully understand these basic color...
  9. Roland VersaWorks Dual

    Usually if you Initialize the software from the start menu, it will do get the same results. Bert's method gave you a new folder location. Initializing the software cleans out any files from the existing folder location.
  10. Help with Summa S140 T set up

    You probably need a null modem adapter for the serial cable. Most cables that you buy will not work with plotters. Try something like this: Good Luck.
  11. Flesign Pro 8.1

    Or you could print from VersaWorks and use Flexi as your design software and just export as an EPS or PDF then open your file in Versaworks and print from there.
  12. Problem with removing glue from a Graphtec FC8600 or which ever cutter

    I've replaced a lot of those. Rather than risk a liquid in the plotter (though there's not much under there that would be damaged from the liquid for the most part) I just rub the adhesive with my thumb and work my way down the strip. It takes a bit of elbow grease, but not a lot of time...
  13. Question Value of Edge FX foils?

    Any more, they come with remaining yardage marked on the edge of the foil. FX foils also have a RFID chip that keeps track of remaining foil amounts.
  14. Question mutoh valuejet 1204 WHEN PRINTING BLACK IT PRINTS DARK GREEN WHY

    You'll never get good color from a print head that doesn't fire all the nozzles. It doesn't matter what color mix you use in the file if the print head isn't cooperating. Check/Replace your maintenance station as a first step. Then post a picture of the nozzle test print for further help if...
  15. Help a Newb out, Roland Lej-640FT

    Even if you've run other Roland equipment, it's gonna be worth it to get trained on the FT specifically. The table controls are a lot different and flat bed printers in general have their own learning curve.

    The meds are hidden in the cupcakes guys and gals. Beware!
  17. Need Help Silver Medal 2 for Edge FX print problems

    Have you tried loading the foil in a different caddy? Maybe try it in the caddy that works for the first foil.
  18. Selecting Vector Objects by Size

    Yeah. Flexi has a few gems that you don't use all the time, but when you need them, they're golden. Happy I could help.
  19. Software Help Versaworks 6 not opening

    Glad you got it figured out. Thanks for update. We all love a happy ending.
  20. Selecting Vector Objects by Size

    Flexi has the "Remove Tiny Objects" tool in the Path Edit Toolbar.
