  3. Print and Cut Phototex

    I use a fan aiming at the print, but below the printheads, otherwise you will blow the ink when the printhead is firing, I use paper that it takes time to dry, so with the fan it dries faster about 60% of the normal time it would take.

    what anotherdog said is correct, but you do not have to flip the image to print the second side, just do it as is another banner to print, versaworks starts to print the top of the file, so, feed the top of the printed banner and select the start point and print the second side, it will be ok. I...

  19. Is it normal that my SP540 can not pull heavy media by itself?

    that's the best idea Sign painter, I do the same, when the roll seems to stick alot, I do not use the "end cap holder" for the roll, they usually move and the roll (media) falls in the rollers (the metal ones), so I clean those metal rollers and place the media on them feed the media and it will...
