  1. OPOS not recognized?

    letterman: except for the one that automatically places the OPOS reg marks around the graphic. And which program was that? Gene
  2. OPOS not recognized?

    I think your problem is the OPOS on the old Summas will not read thru a UV laminate, The newer machines have OPOS II or something with different technology. I have used mine by masking over the reg marks and removing the laminate- then they will be detected. You also need to use Summa Winplot...
  3. Questions I'm tired of hearing

    Customer calls without identifying themselves and asks if their sign/decal/sticker/print/whatever is done. When told their sign is done... they ask 'how does it look?' If I know them fairly well, I tell them- looks like crap for a double take.
  4. Static on Roland Printer?

    We occasionally have problems with a kind of fogging that trails off (always away from the parked position) from black objects. I have always been told that it is static. Don't know if I can post a website ( http://www.visualformix.com/staticurewideformatkit-p-299.html ) but a kit is $130...
  5. Whats everyone doing today?

    I have worked 7 days a week since I got back from the Keys in Feb. Bout enough to kill an old fart. Hired a trained worker who I knew so I expect some relief- if we ever have a summer maybe I can enjoy a long weekend or two.

  12. How do you profile for reflective and translucent?

    Refl and trans need more color of course to avoid looking washed out. I understand that you can profile for the media- but that would be different, right? Maybe I am having a senior moment but I think I have been approaching this wrong. I am suddenly very confused. Thanks Gene I know that...

  16. Mpls area - anyone profile for $$$

    I have a VP Roland and i1 and use Triangle inx- I have profiled but it is a long procedure and I do not have the time to spend on it. I use Versa works as a rip and also have Wasatch that I do not at this time. I am looking to step up to an XC540 and may go back to Wasatch at that time- so...

  18. MBX vinyl Zapper- new rubber wheels

    I just bought 5 wheels from Grimco which are a different color and we went thru 3 on one cargo van where we normally get a van to each wheel. This is the twelfth identical van we have done- same guy on the same Vinyl Zapper. I called the mfgr and the old ones were made in Taiwan and the new...
  19. Anyone know how fast a VP540 prints?

    OK- good info here. The situation here is I have a 2.5 year old VP540 that we work to death and need more production. I have looked for a VP300 to suppliment it (thinking the color management would be easier) but there are not many of them and I can't find a nice one. So now the one brain...
  20. Anyone know how fast a VP540 prints?

    I am looking at at an XC540 which prints at 150sf per hour at 720x720 and I can't find what the Roland claimed for the VP540 at that (or any other) rez. Wondering if anyone has that info. Thanks Gene
