The Big Squeegee makes a special Yard Sign Tool with two special edges, one for applying ape tape and the other for applying the vinyl to Coroplas, it works great dry, no bubbles..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOWPBFRhlf4

Sometimes that has happened to me, and I just duplicate the file in Windows Explorer and add the (dot) AI extension at the end, and then Illustrator can open it., Hey it has worked for me. You can also sometimes place it into a PDF document.

I have the same problem on occasions, you can download a FREE version of InkScape (link below), it will open the CDR file and save as EPS, which illy can open, it always works for me. That way you can get it down real fast.... http://download.cnet.com/Inkscape/3000-6675_4-10527269.html Good luck!

THANK YOU FRED! And on a Sunday night, I thought I would have to wait till tomorrow....

Font Help Please.... I tried "What The Font" and "What Font Is", nothing. I have seen this font many times and actually thought I hade it, but can't find it now. Thanks in advance

Is firmware upgrade something a user can do? My SP540v has never had the firmware upgraded so I wanted to try the install myself, but on the same note, I don't want tot mess up my printer. What say you SP-540v users?

Tikiboy THANK YOU! I don't know how the heck you do this, it seams like you are batting 100%.

Can anyone help with this one? If not the font directly, what font could I use to distress and achieve the look? :thankyou:

Problem was the default heat setting in VW, changed it and the banner material is printing fine NOW. Thanks for you suggestions....

Player from Canada gets the prize! He suggested (by email) that my heater setting in VW was set wrong, to "Use Printer setting", instead of "Let Media Control Heater" I checked and my VW heater setting was set to "Use Printer setting", so I changed it to "Let Media Control Heat settings"...

It printed on regular vinyl just fine yesterday. I have never changed the heat height setting, what effect does that have on printing? Look at the image I included in the first post, after the first inch or so, the print looks good, starts out pooling ink and then looks great, so I would not...

Yes, we have had rain for a full week, and the humidity at the printer says 41%, is that to high? And what have you done to lower your humidity? So, maybe after the head moves back and forth over the media and with the heater running a little longer, the pooling effect goes a way? I just...

I thought the same thing about NOT printing until the heater temp is reached, even seen the display saying HEATING! I have printed some test strip prints using different profiles, it does the same ink pooling (I don't really know what to call it), each time it starts to print for an inch or so...

Our local hospital uses very similar signage, and they are covered with Formica plastic laminate and then have white vinyl graphics applied to the surface. Looking close at the bottom corner of your photo, you can see the darker core of the plastic laminate which tells me it is plastic laminate...

What is causing this (see attached image)? See the attached image, I'm printing a banner with a Roland SP-540V and the FIRST 1" or so the ink is NOT laying FLAT, there seams to be what looks like the ink is pooling, then it get better and looks ok. Is this caused by not enough HEAT, like maybe...

Frank, as I mentioned, I have never used the manual crank method, if you do use the crank, will that effect the cap to head height settings, meaning is there a built-in stop that prevents you from going to far either way? How do you raise or lower the caps? Thanks

Thanks, but I finally figured it out, and for next time I have made a decal and stuck it right on the printer so I can remember hoe to get into the Service Mode. Yep, I have the metal tube but never used it, I think the installer told me it was for use in case the print head was printing and...

Ok, so I finally figured it out (see the attached drawing), you have to pause for 5 seconds between steps 2 and steps 3, then it worked. But it's a real pain in the but because Roland doesn't want us doing this stuff. They want to come do it for me at $150 an hour and a round trip charge of 2...

NOPE, that is NOT what you told me, here is you exact quote, (your words): Have you updated your firmware? I think it changed one time if I remember correctly... Here is what gets me into mine now: Service Mode: Down Right Left Up in that order, one at a time then: Right Down Left Power...
