  1. Need Help Roland RF640 And GR640

    X2 on the RF640- great printer. Good to hear a good report on the GX, they had early problems- which is common.
  2. Go big or stay home?

    Just what I did- successful business is worth [compared to the money and time invested] very little, property is worth a ton.
  3. Go big or stay home?

    And keep in mind that having a bunch of employees is like running a daycare center.
  4. Need Help Graphtec stopped working due to static shock, HELP!!

    I wire a copper wire twisted into a small circle near the control panels- touch to discharge before pushing a button.
  5. Hp315 or Roland vp540

    I have looked at Latex and decided they would not work for our workflow. If you are printing the same material all day long, they look like a great deal. We print a lot but it is on different materials and we need to be able to switch back and forth easily [quickly]. The newer Rolands are not...
  6. Suggestions 3M CONTROLTAC ECONOMY WRAP VINYL

    It sounds like Oracal 3551gra, it is a modified 'High Performance' calendared material which we use a lot and have had great luck with. We do not do wraps BTW.
  7. Need Help change type direction in Flexipro 11

    Change your justification?
  8. Upgrading from VS540i to Truevis VG-54

    We have had a RF-640 [ same as VS except no cut and 2x CMYK] for 3+ years with no problems. If [when] the RF is discontinued I will buy another one. Truevis makes me queasy from what I have read.
  9. Getting ready for ISA 2018 Orlando

    Safety Speed Cut will be debuting a new attachment for their sign shop panel saws that will cut and v-groove dibond and much more. I have been a test shop for them and a lot of engineering and thought has gone into this. Tell them Gene sent you and to give you a nice discount.:D
  10. Any experience with 20/20 Color inks for Roland - Alternatives?

    I have used Triangle Inx on three Rolands and never had a problem.
  11. Price of zinc washers too high?

    Save a penny here and a penny there and...... pretty soon you have a nickle!
  12. What is the sequence to get into service mode on RF[VS] printer?

    I don't remember the finger dance required. Thanks Gene
  13. VersaCAMM VS-300i white

    We have a RF-640 which is the same machine as a VS and it has been pouring out prints [money] for 3 years with only normal maintenance [clean once a month, replace rubber wiper a couple times a year and a captop once a year or so. Really impressed with it. We use Oracal materials, not sure if...
  14. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    Bingo- we have a winner- the F7-8 contour color will be RGB so easy to separate/select and if you have the spot contourcut color in your pallet you can change. You just made an old man [and the Millennial who now has to deal with it] happy. Thank you, Gene
  15. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    That is what we have been doing, altho I would not say it is always simple. The F7 contour cut seems to be RGB and not a spot and is a stroke so it cannot usually be selected with the right click 'Select>Select Similar colors to do it efficiently. We have used F7-8 for 21 years and have...
  16. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    It does show no fill and a stroke that is not a spot color- the contourcut in the older versions does not show as a spot and that may be the problem. My brain is fried for today, I will check on the cmyk/rgb issue tomorrow. It would be nice if you could select the contourcut color with select by...
  17. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    I should have mentioned that we use Roland VersaWorks to print and cut, not the Flexi rip. Gene
  18. Need Help Upgraded to F11 from F7- problems with contour cut from old files

    I have used Flexi for the last 22 years- from F5, suffered thru F6, finally landed on F7 and F8 which have worked great for me. We purchased several seats of F11 from a nice lady on S101 and like it... but we have years worth of files from old customers that we use regularly. When we open a...
  19. I did it...switched from Roland EcoMax2 ink to Solaris

    I have happily and successfully used Triangle Inx on three printers over 15 years. A liter is about $130. I cannot remember a problem that I could blame on the ink. My opinion for what it is worth. Gene
