  1. Sign Destroyed Advice

    If they're a great client maybe offer them a mesh banner for free? I'm in the upper midwest, and it's rare to see "solid" site signs.
  2. Streaks In Print

    Update on the streaking. It's the media. I printed on some ancient satin finished vinyl, and its perfect. Print is perfect on 13oz JetFlex too. I sent pictures to my rep, waiting to see what they'll do for me. Deeper I got into the roll the more streaks. Never had anything like that before...
  3. Streaks In Print

    Thanks for the help. I'll clean and recheck everything. I hope it works. Up to my neck with jobs.
  4. Streaks In Print

    I need some help. Roland SP540V is printing blue streaks. See attached pic. I picked the blue from the existing file and made blocks of it and it did the same thing. Could it be reading something in that particular file? It had done this before on the same file to a lesser degree. Really...
  5. Oki (seiko) E64s

    Hey BigFish, Thanks for the info. Not buying one, was curious about the 7year MCS warranty more than anything. I'd think 6 grand worth of heads would scare any sane person away.
  6. Oki (seiko) E64s

    There was no OKI forum so if this needs to be moved... Anyway I stumbled across the new OKI E64s on YouTube. Guy that was doing the demo claims a 7 year MCS warranty. Is that true? Seems they partnered with 3M for the inks so it may have some credibility. They also claim ink cost is around...
  7. Cncrouterparts Vs Ox Metal

    For doing plastics you may want to check into these: Zenbot CNC Routers No I don't work for them, but I think they're a good value. Now I'll sit back and wait to get flamed. Never fails on forums. I'll bet you lunch by the time this thread is done someone will claim nothing less than a...
  8. Clear Coated Sticker. Help Please.

    I get small kits from a real estate company on the east coast. Name escapes me right now, but if you Google doming kits they'll pop up. It's a binary deal and you'll need to buy the dispenser gun too.
  9. What Are You Guys Jamming To Latelly

    I have music ADD. Halestorm, Pop Evil, The Pretty Reckless, Chevelle, Alter Bridge, etc...most of the time. Maybe some speed metal thrown in for good measure. Other times it could be anything from Pavarotti, Brian Setzer, or Trombone Shorty or....depends what mood I'm in. Found Brooks...
  10. Edge Lit Led With Frosted Vinyl

    IIRC a forum member uses etch vinyl and LED's instead of engraving. Not sure if that helps you.
  11. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Anytime, glad to help. I've been getting miscellaneous bits from George at solventparts.com. Sensor was about 40 bucks to my door.
  12. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Cool. See, I can learn something new everyday. Thanks again VanderJ!
  13. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Okay folks as promised here's an update on my printer. New encoder reader fixed the issue. Thanks VanderJ! Prints nice solid color now, where before it would have super light bands about every 6 to 8 inches. Printed a 52" x 10 purple swatch last night, and it looked great. Also did a test...
  14. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Didn't think about the ribbon cable. I did replace all of them less than a year ago, but that doesn't mean they can't go bad.
  15. Help choosing computer??

    Go to a local shop and have one built for your needs. Nothing like being able to drive across town and drop it off should anything happen. Did that when my 9 year old PC ate a drive and power supply. Brought it back to where I had it built, and they got it going. Their builds all come with...
  16. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    VanderJ I hope you're right. I should know Monday if the part comes in. It threw the dreaded 0110 error code all by itself. I was in my office, heard some chirping so I checked the printer. It had woken up, apprantly for a maintenance cycle, and the code was displayed.
  17. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Encoder strip was first thing I checked. Clean as a whistle along with being fairly new. Then I took off the encoder sensor, and ran camera lens wipes through the slot. No visible dirt. Put the encoder back on, got it realigned and same deal. Fails both calibrations. During the linear...
  18. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    Thanks VanderJ. I'll follow your recommendations and see what happens.
  19. SP540V Stair Stepping, Poor Color

    I need help. I can't get the printer to stop stair stepping. Never saw it this bad before. Encoder strip is fairly new, and clean as it can be. I checked all cables an connections to make sure they're seated.(ribbon cables are fairly recent also) Odd thing is it printed fine the day before...
  20. Need Help how to ensure correct placement of fire chevron
