  1. Problems with GX24 Cutting

    Yep, outta the box. Knock off was a poor choice of words. More like fell off at first contact. They're a man made product subject to flaws. Just happened to have two duds in the same box. Cut pressure was the same, material was the same, etc... Andrew from Roland was very helpful and sent...
  2. Problems with GX24 Cutting

    Might need another blade. Not long ago I had two blades in a row knock their tips off. Third blade has been cutting fine. Now I have a loupe sitting on top of the printer for quick blade checks before big jobs.
  3. Opinion on Arlon Wrap Material

    No full wraps with it(just partials), but it's all we use for anything that has to last. Outdoor signage, truck lettering, crane booms etc... We print for another shop in town and their installer really likes it. Love the way the 3220 laminate lays down and it's high gloss level.(plus it's...
  4. Why are my heads drying up so fast?

    Some third party inks have a more aggressive solvent. This will lead to faster degradation of cap top seals among other things.
  5. Going out on my own, need advice on a cutter

    I'd buy a used Summa before the other two choices. Check ebay, craigslist etc... From time to time Summa sells demos and refurbs too.
  6. Multi layered lamination = better UV protection?

    For the best UV/overall protection use one of the latest automotive clear coats. I have "buried" laminated prints in automotive clear with great results. Even converted vinyl with a multi-stage process using high image clear.
  7. Seal 62S - Problem Laminating long vinyl prints

    We run an RS and used to have "issues". One thing you must have is a leading edge absolutely square to the sides of the material. A freehand cut edge will cause nothing but grief. Another is to get it fed in square and flat. Many issues are caused by the initial feed. For short runs I put...
  8. Ink - expiration dates

    Even though I don't own an HP thank you for posting the solution. Just hate when people ask for help then disappear from the thread they created.:frustrated:
  9. Vinyl and laminate concrete floors

    Another option: Cut 4mil to use as a stencil then paint with industrial epoxy. Very durable. (may have to etch concrete to get best adhesion)

    Contact your local window film professional and give him the job. They will know exactly what to do and exactly how to do a flawless install. Completely different animal from what we sign guys do.

  17. Crummy contour cut got ya down?

    Hey all you Roland print/cut users! Here's my tip of the day. After making numerous adjustments(and replacing the cut carriage cable) to get our SP540V to cut correctly it still was hit and miss. Nip tension.(pinch rollers) need to have their pressure adjusted since it lessens over time. It...
  18. Quick question on Fellers banner tape

    Phooey. Ordered 4 rolls a while back and now you're givin' it away. LOL. Tape works very well, and is the best price per foot I've found anywhere.(including shipping):thumb: Will be doing a banner later today.
  19. Box Truck Rear Roll Up Door

    On roll up doors we apply, cut the seams, then seal the edges. Edges hold up well considering the beating they take.
