I've often felt that the oriental firms rush to sell products and then fall on their face with support. They copy things they see, then cut corners, but don't have staff engineers to determine what's needed or not. They just do not understand the follow up. I bought a $200,000 printer from Asia...

Looks like M head bias alignment is slightly off. Have your Roland service tech fix it. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Without seeing it under extreme magnification is hard to call. If it's actual ink ejections with a noticable pattern then the head may be failing. If it's overspray, and I think that it might be, your print speed is too high and the heads may be too high as well, causing the ink droplets to...

Rolls should have a lot number inside the core. Note it and you can prevent getting additional defective rolls. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Most ink systems I've seen use either a shot count model or a physical switch to derive ink volume. Both of these have failure potentials. The physical model is usually a pressure foot on the ink bag, and prone the cartridge position variations and atmospheric pressure, the shot counter is based...

I do that regularly.. key is to not transfer air and to measure the cartridges.. I weigh the cartridges.. full and empty. I chart them. when the new one gets low enough I draw out the remaining ink from the old one using a blunt 16 gauge leurlock tip on a 50cc syringe. Do not use a sharp tip...

Some kind of surface contamination. Likely silicones from the release liner offsetting onto the vinyl. Return to supplier. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

The summa printers are thermal transfer just like the edge, while I will tout the quality of the plotters they make, the printer falls short of any competitive reality. Inkjet is the way to go, even in the face of Gerber edge fans. Cost per sq ft is 1/4 that of thermal transfer when properly...

Doesn't say if it has air egress adhesive. Might just be plain ol' pressure sensitive. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Signshopgal I'd hesitate to tell you to do any cables or other work as your knowledge base seems fairly beginner. Dont want you to fry some EXPENSIVE electronics.. Roland has service support contracts and it may be right to go that way. If you can't do that path.. Running a flush requires...

Yellowing after 5 or 7 years is the reason we're all in business. Nothing lasts forever. "Time to buy a new sign Mr Customer" The surface of poly decomposes with time and solar exposure. The headlights on cars are a good example of that. The very same process for those headlight restoral kits...

Flush the entire black system with flush solution. Replace dampers. Replace capping station tops. Likely not sealing the cap station properly Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Spbrokerage.com. Scott has buyers. It's a great guy to work with. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

The cyan spill looks like you had some ink leach out in addition to the print problem. Temperature changes can cause that. First thing.. get some head cleaning solvent and some wipes and get all that ink cleaned up. Pay attention to the vacuum holes and get it off the pinch rollers. Then run...

A very dark tint on the window combined with a bright light source shining on the graphic surface will work. I used that on a gaming center where the city police required the visibility of the interior from outside. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

There's usually more than $5 of ink left in them. We drain them and top off the newer ones. There's often 30ml or better in them even though they read empty. My friends color painter leaves almost 80ml in "empty" carts. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

are you heat setting the finished graphic?

Reflective films will distort to wrap to the shape, but the reflective properties will quickly degrade as the distortion increases. Your idea of using strips is best. Thats how firefighter helmets are done.

Well the folks over at Pantone have decided on this year's official color.. it's "Greenery" PMS 15-0343... I'm okay with this, a little more Green in my bank account is fine.. COLOR OF THE YEAR 2017 - Greenery

For heat press get a geoknight swing away at least 14". Great machine and you can also do some nice work with it. I should never have sold mine. Laminator. Seal or GBC. Look for one that can double for mounting without major changes. Since you're new to that I suggest you find a repro graphics...
