  1. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    Look at what the page length is set to in the media menu. It may just be set too short. Also, I've had better luck loading print cut sheets as sheets. It sounds like your margins are fine. Good luck.
  2. Roland VS-540 - black head with over-spray and missing nozzles

    How long was it left unplugged? How long since you've replaced the cap top? Dampers? OEM ink? Did you check the cables?
  3. Suggestions Bordeaux or Nutec

    Nutec is made right in your neighborhood. I don't have any experience with their Mimaki line, but I'm sure it's as good as the others that I've tried. They have a long history in making inks and are actually OEM ink suppliers for some big name printers. I don't think you can go wrong with Nutec
  4. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    What option are you loading it with? Roll 1, Roll 2 or sheet? How far from the pinch wheels are the reg marks? How far from the back edge of the vinyl?
  5. Need Help VersaExpress RF 640 not printing

    My best guess would be that ink got somewhere that it shouldn't have and at the very least, you blew a fuse on the main board. At the worst, you could have fried the print head itself, which then blew the fuse on the main board.
  6. Having trouble filling in

    I don't know how it will work with multiple shapes on top of each other, but you can also select the shape and right click and choose "Close Path" from the menu. This will only work if your end points are within the tolerance for this tool in Flexi. If the start and end points are not close...
  7. Need Help ROLAND VERSAWORKS DEVICE NOT FOUND HELP!

    Depending on your OS - Windows 10, right click on your Windows icon in the lower left corner and select Windows Powershell (Admin) - or previous windows versions, go to the start menu and type CMD in the run window. When the black box pops up type in "Ping 169.254.253.060" (without the quote...
  8. Having trouble filling in

    Are those created in Flexi or imported from somewhere else? There are a couple of things that I can think of here. Is wireframe checked in fill stroke editor? Are the shapes closed shapes? You can't fill and open shape. Try selecting the shapes and then click on the join paths tool in the...
  9. FC8600 Contour Cut Off

    It appears to be off left and right only? Is that correct. You should focus on the Y axis system. Is the belt tensioned properly? Is the motor pulley belt tight and in good shape? Have you performed the distance adjustment in the adjustment menu (service mode)? Also, as Wayne pointed out...
  10. production manager not recognizing contour cut

    Try putting your cut lines on a separate layer and move that layer to the top.
  11. Need Help ROLAND VERSAWORKS DEVICE NOT FOUND HELP!

    Can you ping the XC?
  12. Roland VG error Codes?

    Yup, 0109 is the same on the TruVis printers. Do a hard shut down, front and back and let it sit unplugged for a few minutes then keep an eye on the wiper when you boot back up. It should reset itself. If it passes that ok, then try to run a normal cleaning and keep an eye on the wiper. See...
  13. advice needed - Easymount silvering because of static? o

    I've not heard of static causing silvering. If you have good laminate on one side and silvering on the other, then most likely your rollers aren't parallel or you could have a flat spot from leaving it down for a long time. I'm not familiar with that model, so I can't suggest how to adjust the...
  14. Versaworks Swatches between Printers

    Nope. Gonna be different - or at least there is no guarantee that they will print the same. Currently there are 3 different inks that Roland has EcoSol, EcoSol Max and Tru Vis, which will all give different colors. Then there are the various printer models, using different heads and different...
  15. Night Pictures are printing to dark

    I would start by using a High quality JPG or a TIFF format with RGB colorspace. Is your monitor profiled? And how accurate is that profile? That will make a difference as well. Then, besides the profile, there are a number of RIP settings that can make a difference. And a canned profile will...
  16. Night Pictures are printing to dark

    I agree with Vander - there's a definite color shift between the two. I also agree with JBest - how are you saving the image? What RIP are you using?
  17. XC-540 Take up reel tracking

    Make sure that the roll holders are not worn or cracked and generally in good shape. Also, check the dancer bar and make sure that the screws are tight. You might also loosen all screws and make sure that both ends are at the bottom of the screw holes to make sure that it is aligned. Finally...

  20. MutohVJ-1624 Nocturnal Ink Consumption

    It's probably time to replace the maintenance station. How long had it been since you've done that?
