I should have read the posts a little better before posting. Listen to BigFish since you are doing indoor work. We do outdoor backlits for a media truck so our Roland works well for that.

You will see things like Shot Count for each head, Feed and Scan Motor errors, Heater Voltage error, Printing Time, etc... I would focus on the Shot Count(heads) and Printing Time(total). This will give you an indication of overall "health" of the machine. If they are unwilling to run the...

Rofl!

I posted this in another spot today, but here goes again. With the older SP series DO NOT UPDATE! SHUT OFF AUTO UPDATE! Roland no longer sends anything relevant for these printers. It will cause nothing but headaches as some have experienced. Besides it will eat up valuable disc space and...

It's more a preference thing. Personally I use PVC primer for that quick afternoon pick-me-up.:omg:

No drinky on the job whether you have the okey-doke or not. Bad foo unless you own the place. Even then...

Have them fire it up while you are there, get into service mode and run a report. There is no way to fudge what the printer says its been doing.

DO NOT get VW updates thinking they will help your SP540V. Roland no longer does updates for that printer. We know. We have one and our tech said all we were doing is wasting time and taking up disc space. It may in fact cause issues. We had a problem after an update so we went back to the...

Excellent post!:rock-n-roll: Like my "Uncle Dave" says: Can't tell nobody nuthin'. Gotta find out the hard way.

Ha ha. A weasel with no "weasel".

Rotary screw then. They are rated for continuous duty and will make all the air your shop will ever need. There are units made without a receiver(tank) that have a modulator to control output. You turn them on in the morning and when there is a call for air the modulator closes. Otherwise it...

I do regular cleanings every week or more frequently if needed. Then once a year I have a tech come in and give the printer it's yearly "physical". (belt tension, sensor checks, registration etc...)

Looks like it works well. One thing though. I wouldn't "taunt" the vinyl. LOL Or maybe that helps the installation if you give it a few neener neeners first.

If you want quiet get a screw compressor. I have one on the shop wish list. Of course you could just by a cheapie and put it outside in a shed.(just noticed where you live)

This^^^^^^^^

Years back when we did them with cut vinyl we used the cheapest material we could find. If it's a dirt car it the graphics or whatever will be lucky to make it a couple weeks before you're redoing something. That being said I no longer deal with the "roundy pounders" for a number of reasons.

Font is called Cracked.

I wouldn't run any printer at that humidity level. It will definitely affect dot gain which will mess with color matching. Plus there is a huge risk of static build up killing a board or something else.

I would flush the system at use the locking bar on the head carriage. I would also find some way to keep the printer warm. Going from the cold to a heated shop will cause condensation on the electronics then the real fun begins. Rent a regular 1/2 ton van. You can thank me later.

We had the same issue when printing some 7mil static cling for a client. The over spray was so bad it eventually stopped printing giving the carriage disconnected error. Pulled all the covers and gave the poor thing a "bath". It's rockin' now. We will never use that material again. BTW...
