  8. Ink printing like spray can

    We have that problem on occasion with our Roland, we usually clean it and check the wipers to make sure they are not soaked with ink, as for the distortion, the encoder strip is a likely suspect. We very very carefully clean the encoder strip and that cures the problem. Good luck!

  12. Lamination Issues!

    Have you called Daige? We had similar problems and a part of the problem was the bottom roller. The new ones have a slight crown in the mddle. Our solution was the new roller and using 1/4 plex for sleds. On long prints we needed 3 of us to keep it running, and moving sleds back to front for...

  20. Purchase supplies local or have them shipped?

    We have no sign suppliers locally, closest is 80 or so miles away. We do get some dibond and coroplast from a local plastic supplier, a little higher than the sign suppliers, but local and great service. We consider the guys 80 miles from us as local and it is about a 50/50 split on supplies. Hal
