yeah - I think pete had a bad LED on their machine and found that if not in warranty it was 5k. NO THANKS.

Looks like Roland is finally upgrading from dx4 heads on their versa art machine. Roland said it was an eight channel gold head. Probably the same head that is in the Epson GS6000. Is that a DX7?

I've used them for years. Good company.

Welcome from ME. I started with a 42" 5500 UV. I quickly moved to a 74" Roland. The 5500 is a great machine to cut your teeth on. I know of a shop in NV that runs 15 of them non stop to make posters. Pretty cool.

thanks for the link. My kids will love this. I've never seen a live eagle outside of a zoo until I moved to Maine. We have three that circle our property often. I am awestruck ever time I see them.

the media cost was why I went to a solvent machine. The roll of coated banner material was like 200 dollars. That was for a 3' x 75' roll. You can get a solvent roll 38"x165' for half that cost.

They are the cats-***. I've used several other aftermarket inks over the years and solaris is the real deal. Not a problem with them. The company is awesome too. If you have a problem. Call them and they actually help you. They smell a lot more than OEM ink though. I vent my...

they are a great machine. Trade show graphics are awesome on these machines. they're bullet proof.

started my business with one. great machine, but quickly realized the substrates were very limiting for this machine.

I have a Triangle bulk system. I no longer use Triangle ink, but kept the bulk system. The easyfillpro has it's problems, but is a decent system. If I were to do it again, I would buy a the bulk system that has the float valves in the carts to keep the ink level and optimum pressure...

ah man. that is a bummer. I HATE it when this happens. The rollers on my 745ex are fixed and I used to get this from time to time. It came down down plasticizer migration on cheap vinyls. The oily surface of the cheap vinyl was marred by the rollers. Have you tried wiping down the...

bookmarked! thanks for sharing. this is a great site/idea.

that FLORA is amazing. Who's running them. feedback on this machine. cost?

Sihl's Tprint is what roland uses for their transfer. Fellers has the poly release material that you need to use with it. If you use anything else, it ruins the prints.

Did the laminate stretch the material?

are these metallic in nature? You've got problems if they are. I get some hair/gunk/dust in my machine from the ink vapors bonding with debris in the air. Very small amount. I can usually clear all the dirt away with swipe of the finger. I notice it once or twice a year in a few...

Roland 745ex and refurbing a 645ex. Love'em. I'll hold out for a resin upgrade for these machines. No need to drop tens of thousands on another printer when this machine will be able to run resin inks.

don't touch the profile unless you know what you're doing. in color settings change raster from colormetric to perpetual. That will increase the saturation. If you're there already, try a different profile, or write your own. If you're working on a vector based image, change the vector...

is the encoder sensor clean?

You need to get a phillips screwdriver to loosen the heads and then use an allen to adjust the bias through the front of the carriage assembly. The bias looks to be off by about a quarter turn. Be careful. You can ruin your printer easily messing around the heads and ribbons while the...
