Check your local technical college. Our local tech college offers a wide format class in addition to the graphic design program. New classrooms and drive in install bay should be complete soon. Can always check with their trades department too.

Had a client pay for a trailer wrap that got printed, but never installed.:confused:

Neat! Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. I'll dig into it.

I'm new to the Summa contour cutting gig. How does one go about using this feature?

Had an engineer friend run the numbers. 0.0625" off when loading translates to 0.230" skew in 200". I slowed the Summa to 250mm/sec (10inches/sec) right away and had no issues running the laminated box truck graphics. All this has me thinking about trying the graphics I had on my race truck...

How do you load your D140R? Only issue I've had with mine was because I got careless. But I haven't cut anything over 110" either. I am super fussy about having the lead edge perfectly square to the factory edge of the vinyl. My Roland has a sheet cut feature, that will cut a perfectly...

A PSD file won't work. Save a TIFF at 300ppi at 25% scale from On1, or 150ppi at 50% scale. Just did 2 van wraps by bringing files in at half scale. Set VW at 200% and started printing. VW can have issues trying to bring in massive files all at once.

Not sure if this will help, but I don't do anything with my Roland. I leave it on 24/7/365 and it does its thing. Come back from vacation and print.

Buy your printer from the dealer that is in your town. No matter who makes it it will break, and it will happen in the middle of the biggest contract you've ever landed. When it goes down you want a tech on site within 24 hours. Roland is a solid rig. My SP540V turned eleven this year...

We've been using the Arlon 6000XRP/3220 combo for anything that has to last. Nice price too.

Looks like something contaminated your media. It is possible all rolls are like this since you store them together.

If the sensor is the issue I imagine they'll need to be replaced. Do you sell the sensors?

I have the same thing with mine. It's been better since I've started burnishing the chip contacts on the cart with blue jean material. Another forum member said to clean the machine contacts with a pencil eraser. I still need to do that.

I have one of these: Pinstripe Tape Slitter Tools | SLIT2 Or you could buy a Summa.

Save as Press Quality PDF(turn off optimize for web) Open PDF in Acrobat and save as a PS(postscript)file Open PS file in VW This is normal procedure in the print lab at school when cut information doesn't show up.

Sounds like you have a well sorted plan. Looking forward to hear about what ultimately ends up in your shop. Just to satisfy personal curiosity I'd like to see you put the spurs to the Colorado 1640. With the volume you need to produce it would certainly be a trial by fire.

3M's Black Rose may be worth looking at. Otherwise do like Big Easy said and find a PMS match. You can use a metallic laminate to finish.

I had the same issue a while back, and it was the media. So much static it would crackle when unrolling. Lucky it didn't fry the electronics.

We've had good results with Orange Peel. Although it doesn't smell as good as the name would imply.
