I am in the market for a new printer, I have run Rolands all my life and have no experience with any other brands. I've narrowed my search down to either a CVJ150-160 or a HP Latex with a stand alone cutter. I will not be looking at another Roland. We currently run a roland print/cut machine...

We are having an issue with our VG 640, the printer is brand new, and the test print is perfect, however I am getting lines in the magenta ink only. I printed some solid colour squares and they all look perfect, except the magenta has fine lines running through it, this shows up in other...

When I visit the main page of the site, there is a small number of threads at the bottom which I assume are organized by order of most recently posted in? Under that there are buttons to take you to the next page of threads, but the buttons don't do anything, they just reload the current page...

Hello: I don't do many tradeshow graphics, but I have a client looking for a pop-up backdrop wall. I found a wholesaler near us that we have used for other items and they also do tradeshow booths. They just sent me a hard copy proof of the print, the graphics look great, but they are...

Can anyone comment on the print quality of 4over's outdoor banners? I have a job coming up that requires a 9'x27' banner, the viewing distance will be 1-2 feet so quality is important. I considered printing it myself and taping the seams, but for what 4over wants for the complete job it's...

We just bought a new VG-640 and are having an issue, If anyone else has one of these machines can you shoot me a PM, the issue seems to be related to either the machine or the new Versaworks Duo rip. Sorry for the vague question, but I would rather not say what the issue is until I confirm...

I got an email inquiry from our website a few weeks ago for some small engraved plastic signs looking for a quote, I quoted him $6.95 each and informed him of our $20 minimum engraving charge so he would need to order 3 to meet the minimum. I got a reply back saying: "I’d like to see how...

Does anyone have a supplier they can recommend for pressed tin bar signs? I have a clinet looking to get about 100 of them for their brewery to hand out to bars that have their beer on tap. I would prefer something in Canada, but I would be willing to look south of the border if need be.

I have a job where I need to print a bunch of "arrows on a roll" products for some pipe labels (see picture) normally we order these in already done, but this client needs custom colour combos which are not available without a huge setup charge from our supplier, so I decided to print them on...

Stupid question time. Does 3m IJ40c have the same adhesive as IJ180c? I know the vinyls are very different, but as far as the adhesive goes, are they similar? does the IJ40c have the same removability, repositionability etc?

I've got a job to quote that is stumping me a bit. It calls for around 2500 sq/ft of 3M electrocut 2 mil vinyl to be installed on the interior side of Windows to form a large design. Panels are about 4'x12' all one colour (white). The architect has provided all the artwork in vector format...

I have a client who has a large hanging sign inside their store that they would like to put some full colour graphics on, the sign is 35' across and 4' tall I've attached a picture of the sign, I havn't seen it yet, but am going on site next week to take a closer look. I was wondering if...

Does anyone know of a 2 mil cast white vinyl that comes on a plastic synthetic liner? The 3M electrocute is only available up to 48" wide. This is for cutting only, not printing Thanks

Up until now we have used our roland print/cut machine as our plotter as well, but we are possibly going to be buying a standalone cutter, a Summa. I have a question about the workflow with this setup, lets say I have a job of 200 decals to print & cut, right now I set up a single decal, send...

We printed a 36"x72" banner the other day that came out 36"x71.5". Vinyl prints seem to come out fine, is there any way in versaworks to adjust the feed calibration on certain profiles?

I just got a new work truck and it has a lockable storage area under the rear seats. I was thinking of using it to store all those tools that you seem to forget when you are on an install. What are some of the tools that you guys always seem to leave at the shop when you are out doing an...

I was wondering if someone could either explain or point me to a how to online. We are in the process of painting the deck on the front of our house, my wife is having a hard time picking the right color. Is there an easy way to take a photo of the house & deck into Corel and be able to change...

I bought a roll of Avery 2611 wall film a few months ago, I've used the product in the past with good results. I printed some temporary posters for a client of mine to be installed temporarily on drywall, they were up for about 2 months then they removed them. When they removed the vinyl, it...

I did a test print and noticed a few of the black nozzles were missing, nothing major so i did a manual cleaning and a "normal clean", it fixed a few but there were still some missing nozzles, so i tried a "medium cleaning" and ended up loosing most of the black and cyan nozzles. I've attached...

I always new the building our shop is in was old, but I never realized how old and historic it was untill I did a bit of research. Turns out the building was built in 1830 and used as a woodworking and machine shop. Through my research I found out that the wooden box that housed the first...
