  1. Touching up scratches on your graphics.

    The thing with using markers is ... You just want it to look good when the customer receives the sign. A couple of weeks later it doesn't matter anymore. A fine dusting of road dirt will cover everything evenly.
  2. Panels have mismatching colors. Printed from same file. Help!

    I also vote for Gremlins! I have the same flaw with my VS-540 and Versaworks. I can print full wraps but if i have a small portion (tile) printing at the end i will see a color change. Same file, same settings ... Just slightly off tone. It is especially visible on light colors (like your grey)...

    Hi there. I remember. You wanted my Roland Color Choice software. I am doing well. Keeping busy...

    Hi there. I remember. You wanted my Roland Color Choice software. I am doing well. Keeping busy of course. So you bought a VS as well. Much better than the SC-500. It prints much faster (i have a dual CMYK setup). And colors seem so much better. Especially the reds. Anyways. Hope you are doing...
  4. VersaCamm VS-540 puking ink from cartridge holder

    VS 540 user here. Bought it new in 2015. I have dual CMYK setup and it does ask me to shake cartridges every now and then. Never had this issue and i have even put in refilled cartridges from leftover carts that had been punctured many times over by filling it up. I too suspect used, faulty or...
  5. Discussion I know my answer already, what's yours...........................

    Unless of course they have white shades or drapes. Then black is appropriate.
  6. Discussion I know my answer already, what's yours...........................

    Ask them how would they display their logo on either a white or black t-shirt. I bet the guide has the logo on a white background. It should also have a provision for the logo going over a dark background. It's either you change the color of the lettering from black to white or you put the...
  7. What's the perfect resolution for a larger poster print?

    If it's just an image 72 dpi is good enough. If it has text then my preference is 125dpi.
  8. Roland CJ 500 Capping Station Needed

    I have gotten a couple of inquiries about my offer so i will post an update: The capping stations have been sold. Thank you.
  9. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    I did not subscribe from the get go but after a few years it became evident that i had to upgrade. Once you subscribe to your software you pretty much have no choice but to keep going. Or change and start over from that point. It is always good to explore other alternatives sometimes. I am in...
  10. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    If you are hitting that amount of monthly subscriptions for your operating needs then you must have a decent shop going. And all that stuff is 100% deductible.
  11. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    First off i am not one of those "younger people" and no offense to younger people! ;-) If you are intent on using your old software then it might be wise to keep that old computer as well just to run it. I still have my first shop pc hooked up with Flexi 6 i believe. And i can start it up and...
  12. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    I have a hard time understanding how some of you consider 200.00$ per year as expensive for software which enables you to make a living. Maybe it's a good thing though ... It will separate the hacks from the professionals.
  13. Roland CJ 500 Capping Station Needed

    I've got a couple of capping stations that were for my old SC-500. One of them i believe is new (one with clear plastic tubes). The other might still be useful. The tubes feel like there is no ink in them. Only thing is the felt filters might have been used and cleaned then repositionned in...
  14. Vs 540 / 640 Service Manual

    Thank You!
  15. They just dont make good stuff anymore....

    Insane executive salaries and bonuses and stockholders demanding constant growth is what's pushing consumers like us closer and closer to the braking point.
  16. They just dont make good stuff anymore....

    The chinese make crap because crap is what's being ordered. It was just said a few comments above. Retailers dictate what they are willing to pay. You can get some good quality stuff from china. But you have to pay for the difference.
  17. Opinions on two sided builders signs

    I just put 2x4 cleats. Usually 2"x4"x6". Screw them 1.5" in from the edges of you sign. Since we now use ACM for everything i also put two 45 degree braces inside the sign. Screwed to the posts and crosspieces. When we used to use 1/2" plywood (Crezon or the like) you didn't need to put angled...
  18. Dont skip lunch ever again on an install..

    Sorry Gino but i disagree. The worst pizza i ever got was under cooked, put in a Styrofoam container that was to small so it was all melting towards the center and the pepperoni still had plastic around the edges! I couldn't even send it back since it was a customer who made it for me for...
  19. Is this possible???

    Clear with a halftone gradient will only work on lite colored vehicles. I only fade to vehicle paint when it's black or white. You don't get exact match, but from a distance looks great. Trying to match a vehicle paint color is hard to do and always goes off depending on the angle you are...
  20. A bit confused ... not sure how I should feel

    There is a reason why they make different skin toned dolls. So kids of different races can all relate personally with the dolls. But we as adults like to overthink things. Your daughter just liked the colored doll more :-) .
