Clear computer history, clear unused files out of Rasterlink, shut down and reboot.

If the problem happened right after the cap top installation there's your clue. Cap top may not be sealing correctly. Also noticed you're getting cyan printing in the black channel. I had an SP540V and I would try pulling ink through the cap top with a syringe. If you don't have quite a bit...

Your supplier being clueless regarding equipment is not a knock against the laminator.(I'd look for a new supplier BTW). GBC rebrand? Not sure about that, but whatever. Nobody bidding has nothing to do with quality either. Been this pandemic thing goin' on and a lot of folks aren't buying...

Cut pressure sounds spot on. Gotta be the blade. You switched and boom ya got problems. Hopefully the new batch works. You did buy Summa blades, right?

Try putting some glasspack mufflers on the exhaust. Get the longest ones you can find with 2" or so inlet/outlet and make up a mounting flange. I'm serious. Like this:https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/maremont-cherry-bomb-glasspack-muffler-87516/0000000041610?Ntt=glasspack muffler I didn't...

Blade of unknown origin could be your problem. I've only used Summa blades and that goes back over two decades. Never had any issues with them and they last.

Could be a bad blade. Ran into that with my SP540V. Needed new blades so I bought Roland OEM. Figured I was good to go. Nope. Started okay then mangled cuts one after another. So I tried another blade, same thing. Finally looked at the blades with a magnifier. Tips snapped off the three...

Another laminator to consider is a Mimaki. Not sure if they're a rebrand but the one in the lab at school has been a solid performer.

Sales reps are overrated. One of my clients has a PO system that generates big orders by itself and sends them to me.:D Called them once I figured out orders were repeats with additional items. When I called they said they were having lots of issues with phantom PO's.

What is the reason you're running high quality mode on banners? High quality on banner will lay down too much ink. When I had my SP540V banners were run on Draft mode. Zero complaints.

Cheap until you add up the shipping costs. Probably wait months for it too since it would come over on a container ship. When you're buying equipment never look for the deal. Buy local, because when it breaks who will you call for service? Been there, done that and learned an extremely...

When I bought my Mutoh it came with their version of Flexi. So I asked the dealer to upgrade me to a fully paid license. Cost 300 bucks to not have a monthly bill. It's been a year since I did this. Do the math.;)

Ask those clients requesting 3M why they believe it's a superior material. Every last one will tell you because they heard it was better. Umm...okay. 3M is good material just not worth the price in my opinion.

With all the horror stories through the years I've been afraid to try Avery. No issues with Arlon through the years. I print for another shop and their installer likes the material and there have been no call backs. Years ago we used 3M only but constant price increases started the search for...

Thank you for sharing the info regarding Di Noc. Unfortunately I didn't do any of the transom wraps in the link. It is another service I want to offer. For material I would use our go to Arlon 6000 series with 3220 laminate. Through the years I've run everything but Avery and still think the...

We haven't been asked to do any boat interiors. Until you mentioned it I never thought about it. We're hired to do transoms, boot stripes and hull striping. Di Noc interiors might be worth looking into as another service.

These yacht owners seem quite happy...https://fishywraps.com/pictures/

Village wanted a brushed aluminum sign for a traffic roundabout. I used stainless faced DiBond. Not cheap, but not worrying about corrosion either.

Ordered 300 swabs on Amazon. 8 cents a piece shipped. Could be a better deal out there but I was done looking.
