They were printed before the strip was bad. I didn't know if it just used the crop mark sensor and data from the file for position. Guess I'll just have to wait for the new strip.

Opps it's SP-540V Do you mean manual registration of the marks? Or literally cutting them by hand?

My encoder strip on my SP-540V is definitely bad. Can I still cut jobs that I've already printed??

I didn't want to make a new thread for this same thing. I'm a one man operation with no money to spend on monthly subscriptions or software for estimating right now. I do everything with pen & paper and log all my quotes in an excel sheet. I tried www.createabid.com but I can't seem to adjust...

I'm not a big fan of this material, still people want it and I struggle. I don't know where to put this other than here. Can anyone help me with printing these or point me to a place where I can source print on this material from?

Yeah I do make sure I get it lined up before I start. I usually try to keep my sheets to no longer than 24" in length and it it laminated and cut to prevent that but it's seems to be hit or miss. Guess it's just something to live with until I can get a dedicated cutter.

I've adjusted it as much as possible. That's my thought as well it should have more marks to increase the accuracy. Maybe I'll look into that as it would increase productivity as well. I might actually have to think about that. It's a first gen machine and I'm not sure if the rollers have ever...

Not really sure if it's something I can fix, but it drives me crazy. I do a lot of smaller sized round labels. (1.5inches) It's kinda hit or miss when I do print and cut because I'll get some the are great and others the cut is off more than I think it should be. For instance I did 2 sheets this...

Please post the bi-direction test and nozzle test.

Yesterday it was working fine and when I came in this morning. Now the bi-direction is way off. I've cleaned the encoder strip and calibrated it. and this is where I am now. Now sure where to go other than a new encoder strip but I'd think it would all be off not just the first two adjustments...

Sorry I transposed that... should be GF 203.

I started using Arlon 510 for stickers/decals but the print quality wasn't as good as the 4500. The 4500 didn't do great with perf cutting for me either. I wasted a quarter of a roll on reprinting jobs. I've gone to GF 302 for my stickers/decals and have been happy with it.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just have to live with it, it's just an annoyance more than anything. I do warm it a little post-lamination to help it along.

I still haven't been able to resolve this silvering issue. I know it's usually due to cooler laminate, but it's been up to 75 degrees in here and I still get silvering. It goes away after a couple days but it's frustrating that everything is coming out this way. Any suggestions on what I can...

People asked for it a lot and I really didn't want to use it. I've found a happy medium of max ink limit and fading backgrounds a bit. Along with a calendared laminate they come out pretty decent. Haven't had any complaints or found alternatives. Guess RTape it is.

Yes the force seems a bit on the high side. Should probably be around 90 for contour and 170ish for the perf. I would reset your blade (approx .5mm) and recalibrate the pressure for your cutting. I would also try a 60 degree blade. It'll work much better for doing the perf cut. I attached a...

Yeah I did have that happen when the magenta was low after replacing it I still got the same result on the test print. Thanks! Do you know of any good resources for doing maintenance on these things? I've got the service manual but still like to know as much as possible before going in. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I don't remember the yellow being dirty like this. Could this be a sign for damper replacement?

Yeah I would like something a bit thicker I can use for a bit thicker sticker and also labels without laminate that are fairly easy to apply. Do you always mix your laminates? I noticed on my stuff I used with the GF 101 shrinks up quite a bit.

I don't know if there's a thing as 8" roll. You can get 20" roll from the Roland store of what you're looking for.
