  2. Why, why can't Roland add sequential cut ot VersaWorks?

    Do our resident Roland DGA peeps have any comment? Gene
  3. Why, why can't Roland add sequential cut ot VersaWorks?

    I have a VP540- 5 years old and going strong and a GX500- which I also love- and cut a lot of 14-18 foot long logos after printing. It drives me crazy to see it tracking back and forth and back and forth instead of cutting a section and then moving to the next. Not only is it not efficient...
  4. Enlarging small Photos for Large Format printing 96" X 108"

    I use a program named 'Magical Thinking' (download for free at magicalthinking.com)- seems to be popular with certain politicians as well. Gene
  5. Tis the season for decorating

  9. Laminator disaster

    Vinylman has it right. I believe that the roller(s) are crowned- so it it is tighter in the middle than the outsides that may be it. I have had 2 RS- and had to adj both of them. Once adjusted they are as good as anything... I believe. Gene
  10. Versaworks, SP540V, and GX-640 help needed.

    Yes there is a setting in VW you need to change- I forget which one but check the preferences > multiple printer support> number of concurrent processes- mine sez 4. I can't find the email I got on the issue right now- call support if that is not it.
  11. Low Cost Take Up Reels?

    I run it at 80% power (higher warps the vinyl sheets and make for hard laminating) and the vinyl goes directly onto a spindle over a table leading into the laminator and then to a GX500 cutter. I am into production- the core with the printed vinyl slips off the spindle by lifting it a couple...
  12. Low Cost Take Up Reels?

    I have been using this homebrew for 3 years I think with nothing but a slip action to maintain the slack. I had plans to build either a elect eye or mechanical means to turn it off and on but it was not necessary and I moved on. It and the IR heater are triggered by a motion detector which...
  13. Flexi Rants

    User since 1997- it has provided a nice IRA, paid off my 2 buildings in 10 years and I love it. It is up to you to make it work for you. I have btw worked with Gerber, Adobe and the others on the way. Flexi rocks.

  15. Buying a franchise

    I would second Mosher- I looked at S-A-R before I went it on my own ( small business experience but no sign experience) and have never regretted it. I rented a prime spot (not a strip mall) and figured it out- now I own that spot and have a renter for part of it and I am pretty much retired...
