  1. Suggestions starting on ebay advice for newbie

    Sometimes I hear horror stories like that, but selling on Ebay has its perks, you need to be honest and it takes patience and skill to handle customers. If you're not an assh*le with big attitude you can handle everything. It's not easy and I'm proud I can do it. It also depends what you try...
  2. Suggestions starting on ebay advice for newbie

    I sell through paypal since 2010, there are about 2 charge backs every year and there are 2500 transactions on average, I don't find this a deal breaker.
  3. Roland VG540i Read this before buying

    I replaced mine (sg540) with mimaki cjv150 - it does auto cleaning every 48h and 'refreshing' every hour but my 2L waste ink container is only 1/2 full and I have my machine for more than a year. It does not have cleaning 'triggers' like the the truevis, it also doesn't do any cleaning while...
  4. Roland BN-20 and Hotronix® Auto Open Clam Heat Press

    You should really do your search on google before coming up with these questions. hint: compare 115 vs 315
  5. Roland BN-20 and Hotronix® Auto Open Clam Heat Press

    If your printer was unplugged for 3 weeks I'm afraid the PH is dead by now ( costs ~$3500 to have it replaced)
  6. Roland BN-20 and Hotronix® Auto Open Clam Heat Press

    With the bn-20 you're pretty limited to small decals/labels. You can do custom apparel but honestly DTG is much cheaper and better (softer hand).
  7. Best Value (Full Color Vinyl Printer) for Home Business

    Why would you use transfer for polyester? A sublimation printer is made for polyester and it cost $200, you can even use your home iron if you don't want to invest into a heat press just yet.
  8. vp540 ink starvation?

    It's not ink starvation, green is the mixture of yellow and blue, if one of them would be missing you'd have different green shades. Try it with different media or give it more heat, it may be actually too much ink. I'd also lube the rail just in case.
  9. Need Help Sg-300

    Try an overnight head soaking (not sure how this is done on Roland 'officially', but you can always detach the cover under the capping station and close the drain tube with a clipper, fill up the capping station with cleaning liquid, unplug the machine from the mains and push the head back to...
  10. Storing Vinyl

    +1 for the transfer tape. Tried clips but they leave an indent if stays on for more than a couple of days. And always store in plastic bag to keep the adhesive moist.
  11. Adjusting my cutter?

    This looks like a badly worn out blade holder, or a screw is loose on the assembly.
  12. Roland RF-640 banding left side of machine

    He's a different dude, dude. The first dude probably fixed his machine but doesn't care enough to update the post.
  13. Resolution for large photo sign

    In my experience 50 dpi is acceptable for banners 75 is okay.
  14. Cut Vinyl vs. Printing

    Air release vinyl is available for solvent printers too - oracal calls it rapid air vinyl (wait, how did we end up on a Latex vs Solvent theme?)
  15. Cut Vinyl vs. Printing

    One thing you need to take in consideration with printed vinyl is that if you use eco solvent printer you need to have a small white border around the image if you need to cut it to shape OR you need to let it outgas for 24-48h otherwise if your trim line is right on the printed parts (bleed...
  16. New Product Cotton Printer ?

    I'd like to print natural fabrics like cotton canvas / twill for laptop and phone sleeves and i'd like to know what do you use for this kind of material? I have an eco-solvent printer but it prints only coated materials (the new fancy solvent printable canvas is not available in Europe yet) I...
  17. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    Mine was around 8000 USD. I'm sure Roland has good machines too like the Versacamm series but TrueVis was meant to compete with semi-pro printers like mutoh so they exchanged the epson PHs to these cheap ones. They also wanted to compete with 3rd party chinese inks so they're selling the same...
  18. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    I print product labels with it, it's perfect. It's much cheaper and comes with 8 colors (epson DX7 heads like the Roland VS series) 1440 dpi vs donno 960? It has blocked nozzle bypass system and whatnot. What I like about it is that it doesn't clean itself every time you fire up the thing like...
  19. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    Thanks Allensign, Tech came ~10 times couldn't fix the machine. Later I fixed every problem myself by returning the machine :) That was 1 y ago, since then I print with my mimaki cjv150 day and night without any issue.
