We have a VG540 (TrueVIS inkset) with white, owned 2 years next month. Did not have white in any previous wide format (do have an Gerber Edge, but that is quite different). I try to run some white every week, sometime I forget and it goes 2 weeks. Not yet had any clogging issues, nozzle check...

iDot would probably be good for this.

DriftType (Solid) from DaFont is sort of similar.

That rod should be held in place to the left of the head in the exact same way as the other rod that is still there to the right side of the head. The black plastic thing in the center is what is actually holding it.

Is the problem spot at the exact same place every time, or does it vary? Have you tried different quality/pass numbers, or running as unidirectional? Although I'm inclined to think it's more likely some glitch in the file. I have very occasionally sometimes run into weird glitches sort of like...

Good Vibrations Pro (Regular) or Great Vibes (Regular)

All of the 3M 15" reflective rolls we have used were 13 7/8" to the edges of the vinyl (9/16" stripped away from each edge)

We use this for general purpose adhesive dissolver, pretty safe on nearly all paints and surfaces. https://www.amazon.com/Max-Professional-All-Purpose-Citrus-Remover/dp/B00A9XI6VI (can order by the case direct from manufacturer) followup with soap & water, or alcohol depending on residue and...

I don't think I've actually tried canvas on the VG yet, since it's extremely infrequent that we get requests for canvas. The bad quality, and tendency to rub off, remind me of the time that we were accidentally sent a roll of Phototex for Latex printers, rather than Solvent (might have been...

Not sure what the exact quality issue is, but I have found with our VG540, that occasionally the ink "spreads" and looks blurry. My solution is too turn up the heat, and turn down the head speed (Versaworks: Quality tab, uncheck Ignore Default Settings and then lower the number). Also...

We recently switched from Norton to Sophos and updated our sonicwall at the same time. Really hoping to avoid ransomware and the like. We have 5 networked workstations and just added a NAS. I have also heard Windows Defender is good for general anti-virus.

If it's the wavy "V-3" fiberglass type with flimsy track for flexible letters, then you can order that here: http://www.sssigns.com/ Otherwise if it's flat lexan, then as mentioned above, materials come from local sign supplier and you assemble it yourself. (or hire it done by another shop if...

Maybe twice in the last few years we got those bad sprocket holes in the Gerber 220 (too close together). Just returned it or exchanged from distributor. It helps to have the original label with lot #.

We use clear, IJ180mc-114, over white lexan if printed is required. Often with a reversed print on the back depending on client/budget/design. (not laminated, applied with transfer tape to avoid distortion) The register does not have to be spot on perfect, close is usually just fine.

We had same exact issue on our vp540 at 8-9 years old. Ended up having the Roland tech replace the board while he could still pull the parameters. Costly repair, but a few more years of service seemed worth it. I've seen quite a few posts on here with the same issue on the same machines at about...

If on blocks (like Gemini style) you can press them onto an ink pad, then transfer that to your paper pattern. This tip brought to you by an article I saw in SignCraft.

For the record, all was successful eventually and did not require an Omega upgrade to function. The above post is correct in that you HAVE to remove the win10 drivers if they get installed, and the USB cable driver installer from Gerber might have had to run in admin mode or compatibility mode...

in our shop: All non-egress type vinyls, Gerber 220 and similar: RTape High Tack Conform 4075RLA Application Tape All egress type vinyls where the liner is exposed, IJ180c and similar: 3M SCPS-55

I would use these: https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Product/AB-10 works fine on both square and round posts

We currently have a PC with Windows 7, running Gerber Omega 4.0. It outputs to an HS15+, an EDGE (LE), and a 48" Odyssey. All are connected on USB to Serial/Parallel conversion cables (official Gerber part, not generic). The PC is failing and will be replaced with one running Windows 10. Does...
