Right now the GF Concept 201 and laminate with GF 101. I just feel like it's a bit thin for stickers but great for labels.

I've been doing lots of stickers and labels. I'm on a limited budget and have been using the same material for both but would like to switch it up and use one vinyl for stickers and another for labels. What do you guys use for product labels and do you laminate them?

Well Digiprint emailed me saying my order will ship tomorrow. No reason as to why it's taken a week so far. Guess I'll see if anything shows up this week. *fingers crossed*

I bought this 3 months ago and I'm trying to learn this thing inside out. I'm not absolutely sure what "needs" to be changed other than the sponge and ink pad and wipers. Should cap tops be replaced? I don't think I should mess with the dampers if my heads are ok.

So what are some reputable businesses that I can check out? My SP-540V need some maintenance love asap.

I'm not liking what I'm seeing in this thread. I asked on another forum where people got parts but I got Zero responses. So just going back and forth searching for parts they had what I needed. I placed the order 4 days ago and it hasn't shipped and when I chatted with the customer service rep...

I'm still learning about the machine and more now that I'm having to figure out how to do the maintenance myself on it. I believe they do share the same pump. My yellow ink level was lower so that was probably it. I'll run another test when I get a moment. Thank you!

So this morning I noticed the I'm getting magenta in my yellow printing. Bad head or something else? Can't afford to be down at all right now. I'm running a SP-540V

Yeah this is for packaging products so I'm guessing it's be a better option even if it's a little bit more money. I wish I could do small perforations for packaging on this but it's just not possible and I need to find an option that will make it easier and paper seems to be the way to go.

Yeah we've done vinyl but they need to be sealed with the label and then be able to break the seal fairly easily. Vinyl doesn't tear that great.

I've had several people ask me about adhesive paper. Is there any that can be printed with on solvent based machine?

So it's been pretty cold and the lamination machine was by a window. I think the combination of cool temps and low humidity really don't help. I warmed up the laminated material a little bit and after about 20mins they went away.

Outside in 30 degrees weather?! lol I put them near a heat source and warmed them up and it went away. Definitely due to cold weather.

I posted this in another thread because I'm under the gun with this. This is driving me nuts. I didn't have this issue until recently and it's showing up in everything. You can see the smaller bubbles (silvering?) I've increased tension on the supply roll, it's a cold lam so I can't put heat to...

This is driving me nuts. I didn't have this issue until recently and it's showing up in everything. You can see the smaller bubbles (silvering?) I've increased tension on the supply roll, it's a cold lam so I can't put heat to it. What can I do? I'm tired of throwing away materials.

Yeah I'm getting to that point of throwing out as much bad as good on some things and just all the extra time spent reprinting or trying to make adjustments is driving me nuts. Noting wrong with looking for a good used or refurbished machine. Thanks! I'll do some research.

Hahaha! I know I'm shooting for the stars with a rusty rocket. lol I thought if I got busy enough I'd get a separate cutter, but that's a ways off.

It may but it might be slight that I can't notice, you can tell on these small border of a circle though. It may be a little bit of that. I actually went into the service mode and adjusted the print and cut setting and they were off a bit. I got it tightened up a little bit more.

SP-540V What settings do you want to know? Pressure 85 & 168gf no extra offset on the blade setting.

This has probably been beaten to death but I'm having alignment issues on my print and cut. As you can see in the image it's off slightly and the circle is 1.5" round. I've gone through numerous calibrations and it still comes out the same. I'm tired of throwing material away for bad cutting...
