OK so I went out last Wednesday and did an estimate for a hotel. There are 3 signs. One is 7 feet wide and 4 feet tall and 2 sided. The other 2 are on the opposite sides of the building about 25 feet up. Here is my questions: The 7x4 foot sign in front is all plotted vinyl. I was shocked that...

OK. I downloaded the Oracal 3641 profile as a baseline. Cant find 3640 anywhere. Changed it to Perceptual. Boosted Magenta +7% in "correction curves". I also have Illustrators color handling set to US "Prepress Defaults- Adobe 1998" as that seems to be the correct icc for printers. Color looks...

Thanks guys. Man,..sure seems like Roland would have put a small blurb somewhere in the paperwork that would tell you what your color settings need to be. At least a baseline. Looking at both your settings...they are completely different. Woolly, I can see why your ink limit would be higher...

Oh, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! :) Not sure if it makes a difference but the media I am using is ORAJET 3640 Soft Calendered PVC Inkjet Media Also if you dont mind..... What are your color settings in illustrator? Currently mine reads "emulate adobe illustrator 6.0" What are your system...

I have tried a couple of them. I am creating in illustrator and in RGB mode. When I convert to CMYK the colorshift is even worse. i can try other profiles and see. Also 100% yellow is NEVER 100% unless I print without profiles at all. Whats up with that??

Roland Eco-Sol Max

I have tried making my own profile. I have tried downloading other profiles that seem similar to what I am using. No matter what I try everything I print looks too green or blue. I made a minus c profile and that hlps a little but most of the time I loose other valuable color. I cannot afford to...

I am trying to find a good profile for oracals 3640 that is compatible with colorrip on the sp-300. So far I have been able to download 3651 and 3621 from the oracal website. they dont work well...cause they arent for 3640 i'd imagine :)... I have had good success with the generic pvc profiles...

Just take a screen shot cmd, shift 4 and drag around the map......if you have a MAC. :)

Ah YOU GOT ME!!! :)

I do alot of decals so print/cut (Roland sp-300) for me. Also work out of the garage and may not be as busy as the others here. I have a separate 24 inch plotter for most plot jobs. This combo works great. I do wish I had a wider printer though so I could offer larger banners! :)

OK I think I solved this issue. The linear bearing that I installed was the cause (kinda)....I called THK bearings, they make the roland bearings. I gave them the part number out of my roland manual for the bearings and the tech at THK told me that the bearing that I purchased from them is...

If I had the money to just throw at this problem I certainly would.

I found the procedure in my manual. Unfortunately I dont have the tension meter tool....You say the auto parts store has the same tool but can you provide a link to the one you bought? When I google it they look completely different than the Roland tool. A little update on this. I notice that...

A little update on this. I notice that the error only occurs when the print head is furthest away from home as its being pulled back in. This action is swifter than normal. Thats when the error occurs.... I notice that printing seems to alternate between finishing close to home and furthest from...

I just want to check it to rule out the wire as a cause for what is going on. See my thread "issues please help".

Anyone know the procedure for this?

Well now that I am thinking about it he DID print full scan colors CMYK...but he never did a print/cut. That is where the error occurs. Just as the head is being pulled back to home after the print,... to park, so that the cutter can come out and do the cut, it errors out. If he would have done...

No he didn't and I figured that he would do calibrations and such but after he did the limit initialization he said I was good to go. He told me he wasnt charging me for mileage (which would have been more than the labor) and said I only needed to pay for one hour of labor + the motor $445.00. I...
