  8. Software Help Roland VS/SP/GR user. Looking for an open source alternative for VW

    couple of things i think the feed rate is relative the profile you use to crate the cut path so a different profile may speed things up try generic banner1 fast 360 dpi as that only has 6 passes compared to what you would normally use would have 12 or more.. i forgot to see if there was a feed...
  9. Software Help Roland VS/SP/GR user. Looking for an open source alternative for VW

    "skip white areas" if you disable full scan printing in the printer menu it will skip the scan as nothing to print but will still feed at the normal rate ? worth a look. years gone by we used to print to a file then alter plot files in a text editor then send to plotter with a dos command. how...

  11. Need Help Roland VS and GR - Printing Crop Marks on Cut Only job

  13. Need Help HELP!!! Roland SOLJET PROII SJ745EX - Louder sound on printing

    got a feeling the sj has a cable not a belt like my sc540 pro2 (may be wrong) which made horrible noises once which was the cable sticking to the drum on the right side so vibrating a sound from the cable like me trying to play a guitar. clean and lube sorted it.
  14. Sharp Inner Corner Cuts Not Completing - FC7000MK2-130

    i have the same plotter and a mk2 as well, this is what i would do, notice in the pics that the vinyl has risen from the edges where its been cut along all the edges perhaps indicating you need a finer blade. the reflective blade you use is probable a 60 deg one so try that obviously with...
  15. Sharp Inner Corner Cuts Not Completing - FC7000MK2-130

    cutting air escape vinyls can be more troublesome. as the vinyl is not held as well to the backing paper, if its the knife thats picking up the corners i wood guess that the blade holder is not free enough and or too much blade showing, does it do the same to standard cut vinyls
  16. Nozzles are clogging but tech said there's no need to replace cap top

  20. Print cut alignment GX-640 & RE-640

    my guess is you are cutting with a poor blade to much pressure not enough pinch rollers, printing with to much heat media distortion, watch the media being cut is the media bunching in front of the blade movement,
