  2. Baseball Logos

    It's that time of the year again, and I have a customer who's a coach for a girls baseball team. The one thing I don't have is the "baseball" or "player" for the rear window of Mom's and Dad's car. Can anyone point to who makes the baseball and player graphics so I can finish out an estimate...
  3. Automotive Color Matching

    Ok Gurus of the Rolands, here's one for you! I have a customer who wants the same color of the truck as the background of the magnetic signs. I know what you're thinking, the background as the same of the truck? I lost that battle, remember the customer is always (most of the time) right...

  9. Print Media Drying Racks?

    Wow! A lot of great ideas to ponder. But Mark in TX brought up an intersting comment, "I just stack the prints as they finish. Banners, I use the take-up reel." I've been wanting to add the take-up system to my printer but I've always wondered how tightly the print is wound and how it would...

  11. Ink Bleeding on a VP-540

    Situation Resolved! I went back to the supplier of the Arlon, tried all three different rolls with different batch numbers and all had the same result: dot gain. Arlon later notified me that they had a known bad batch of material and were looking up the "numbers" and they would let me know. I...
  12. Creating a Contour Cut Line?

    When using Adobe Illustrator, you select the fill and the outline. There's a certain "pink" to indicate the outline cut that is selected from the Roland Versaworks Swatches and is used as the outline. The Versaworks software will then show the cut lines as "marching ants" when configuring the...
  13. God I hate these type of customers

    How about the customer who asked for the artwork in a .jpg file so they could use is as a wallpaper on their computers. I should have seen this comming. After creating a low res jpg and hand delivering it I later find out that they have gone to another competing shop to get a better price. Now...

  15. Ink Bleeding on a VP-540

    Ok, so here's what I've done so far. I've manually cleaned the heads (twice) Switched Profile to GVCP and got slightly better results Switched to New Arlon profile with the same results as GVCP Printed Uni-Directional (got a nap in while it printed) and the text came out noticibly lighter. I...

  17. Ink Bleeding on a VP-540

    I'm getting bleeding on all four colors. Of course the manual has a great print troubleshooting section in it so I'm asking the experts! On four large color blocks at the top of the sample image there's bleeding between the cyan and magenta and the yellow and black. It becomes more evident...

  19. Greetings from Oklahoma!

    This seems like home! Folks from the area close to where I grew up (Eastern Iowa and Eastern South Dakota) are of the first to welcome me! THANKS!!! I've already wrapped a 24 ft long car hauler. That was an experience I'll never forget with the constant Oklahoma breeze (others might call...
  20. Roland VP540 recommendations??

    I've never heard of the Metamark brand, but I use Oracal's Orajet 3164G for most of my decals. Since I live on the other side of the "pond" I dont know if the European style plates are reflective (they are in most of the US). I'd recoomend 3M's Reflective 5100R if you wanted to print directly to...
