Don't bother trying to learn on cheap material. You'll get frustrated and angry. The top shelf stuff is the way to start. Yes it's $$$, but you'll gain confidence and be productive faster. There's no educational value in cheap 3 mil pressure sensitive vinyls that won't conform or snap off...

The old NUR 5 meter printers had to have length adjustments in the measurements all the time. pain in the butt. But the rolands have a print dimension adjustment in the service mode if I remember correctly. You print a target, measure and adjust. Then save the setting to rom. Consult your...
