  1. Roland Color Chart

    Todd, this link should do it for you. You can print out a color chip chart for each media you commonly use. http://www.rolanddga.com/color/products/printcut/Versa/default.asp?menu=FEATURES&submenu=14&nxt=2&totsubcnt=15
  2. do you use after market ink's

    Good luck with the Bordeaux brand. My experience was that these cartridges (220's) don't have any kind of built-in (low ink) warning so when the cartridge empties, the machine continues to suck out all of the ink in the lines and you then have to laboriously get ink flowing through the lines...
  3. Cutting Way Off

    I assume you're doing an environmental match everyday? That alone can cause mis-alignment on the cutting of printed media. Also I use 3 pinchrollers for most stuff. If you find they're putting dent's or tracks in the media, then cut out the middle one. For cutting laminated prints you don't...
  4. worken with gimp

    Pretty good positioning of the three elements. (good layout)
  5. newb question

    Are you saying that the carriage moves all the way across the media even if the print is less than that width? That shouldn't be happening. Tell me more.
  6. Hello Everyone - Washington State

    Hi from SW Washington state. And welcome.
  7. Terminating forum membership

    It's sad that some of us can't distinguish between direct and hurtful. I've seen comments criticizing work (that've been posted in the proper forum for such) that were simply forthright, constructive and to the point. But the OP got his back up. Or mis-interpreted the critic's comments and...
  8. Outrageous!!!

    Isign, was it Dan? From Performance? One day I was talking to him and I believe he said he'd just gotten back from Hawaii on a service call.
  9. cant get just one panel to print

    When you describe these "black lines" are you referring to closely spaced parallel lines all through the print? About 1/32" apart, continous? The reason I'm asking is that on my Roland with Versaworks, I've had that also. It is usually, if I remember right, corrected when the clip/tile...
  10. How big is your shop sq.ft ceiling ht etc?

    Just under 5000 sq. ft. 13' ceilings. Single overhead bay door, but it's kinda small.
  11. SP-540 stops in the middle of the cutting job/pinch roller errors

    Inkjet, that's interesting. My SP is probably 30 months old. Would the cable also be responsible for the machine to stop not mid-cut, but mid-print? With the display still saying "now processing"? That's happened a few times recently.
  12. Graphix Advantage Help with Gerber GS-15

    Has the "serial to usb adaptor" been working all along? And you're just now experiencing problems? I'm not engineer enough to diagnose your problem. Tony would probably have an idea. But then again he would probably suggest (kindly) that you pick up a licensed copy of Omega. (see them for sale...
  13. Question about masks in PhotoShop

    Thank you both. It works! I love this place.
  14. How do I slow this Gerber down ??

    Wow! Didn't know you could run Gerber equipment without Omega. Learn something everyday. If anyone would Tony would know, though.
  15. Question about masks in PhotoShop

    Blending two photographs. Putting one layer above the other. Applying mask. Then when I apply the gradient (foreground to background) I don't quite get the desired effect. Is it possible to then apply another gradient over the resultant image? To make this clearer. I have an oval shaped (hard...
  16. Carriages are disconnected? sp-540

    It's almost certain that the machine has "lost it's way". Probably the encoder strip is dirty, but it could also be the encoder reader. Finally, it's possible but not likely, the cable tension has slacked to a point that it needs to be re-adjusted. (for that you'll definetly need a tech) How...
  17. Using cleaning cartridges? Roland SP-540

    Kentucky, this is what I've done. On the advice of my tech (Friday) I've held a clean swab soaked in cleaning fluid against the head and gently, gently pumped it up and down against the head. Not moving it side to side or anything, just a slight pumping action. He even said I could "massage"...
  18. Using cleaning cartridges? Roland SP-540

    I ran through the menu and didn't see headwash. Guess I need to re-check.
  19. Using cleaning cartridges? Roland SP-540

    Does anyone know the proper procedure for using a cartridge? Can you simply insert one in the cartridge slot for the color you're having some dropout with. What command do you then use? How can you get the solvent to pump through? And assuming you can, do you then have another command to fill...
