  1. Where to buy original parts for Roland VP540?

    Go to Roland's website and search for a dealer in your area. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  2. Need Help No colour vibrancy on Roland BN20

    The BN-20 is quite capable of hitting the same color gamut as the VS series printers can. I have seen very high quality prints come off of a BN-20 printer. I think most here are correct in assuming that the color settings in your RIP need to be fine tuned. There are a lot of variables that...
  3. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Then I think you'll have to go with the clear film like Big Fish says and just print to whatever opacity you need. If the film were 70% opaque, one side of the print would look 70% dark and the other side would look normal. Unless I'm still not understanding what you're trying to do. You...
  4. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Then are you wanting to print on it or just want a neutral gray film or what are they trying to accomplish with this?
  5. 70% Percent Opacity Material

    Are you talking about a 70/30 window perf material?
  6. Discussion Yellow Discoloration Spots in Avery MPI1105 EZRS HP Latex Printed, Laminated with Avery DOL 1360Z

    How old was the paint job? Do the spots coincide with where the body work was?
  7. Updating Firmware on GX-500 cutter

    Are you sure you have 32 bit Windows 10? Most Windows 10 installs are 64 bit. I think the Zip file is corrupted the installer is only a 1 KB file. For comparison, the updater program (not including the firmware) for an XR is 2MB. Roland should get this fixed soon.
  8. 3M MCS Certified Printer Suggestions

    Try printing uni-directional. If the problem goes away, you need to dial in your bi-directional calibrations.
  9. Need Help SP300V Carriage Head Alignment.

    As VanderJ said, it's rare - and I'll add very rare - that this adjustment needs to be done. The captops don't need to be centered, they just need to cover the nozzles when capped. This is a good example of "If it ain't broke..." If your ink is flowing, then the caps are doing their job and...
  10. Printing issue

    I would try reseating all the cables (with the Edge unplugged of course). Also, make sure that the grounding strap at the back, between the base and the head is in good shape.
  11. Smalt Glue

    Have you tried Pacific Coast Sign Supply? They're my local competitor on a bunch of things, but do have a good selection of "old school" sign supplies.
  12. Need Help Problem with Gerber Dimension 200X

    Most of the time that I've seen that happen is when the bit is slipping. Make sure that the collet and the bit shaft are clean and then tighten the nut completely. Also make sure that you're using a metric collet if the bit is metric or an SAE collet if the bit is a fraction of an inch.
  13. Mutoh Valuejet 1324 Lifetime Pump error

    The pump is part of the maintenance station. You just need to reset the counter. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  14. Need help

    looks like a bad cable. If you've not been doing any service work on this, I would suspect the long trailing cables going up to the carriage from the main board.
  15. Take up roll?

    Seems like the problem with a take up on a plotter is the long runs back and forth, especially on vehicle jobs. How does the take up go backwards in coordination with the plotter? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  16. Need Help White Foil ‘puckering’

    Is that with a new white foil? Or one that's been used quite a bit.? You might just try removing the used foil and taping the remaining foil into the core. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  17. Need Help White Foil ‘puckering’

    Try rotating the job 180 degrees. If a lot of foil is used along the front edge of the foil, the take up tension becomes unbalanced because the remaining foil on the back edge created a slightly larger diameter on the back side causing it to pull more than the front side, leading to wrinkles...
  18. xc 540 head issue and ink cartridge question

    Most likely a damper. A blown fuse would take out 2 heads all at once, not fading out. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  19. Printing problem..

    The yellow tinge is how cheaper laminates get their UV protection. To do it right, you'd need to make your profile by reading three swatches of laminated test charts. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
