since i have never used one, WHAT THE HELL DO THE ROLAND MEDIA CLAMPS for my sc545-ex attach to? i have repaired dozens of roland machines, but, every now and then i see something i just don't get the point of. are they supposed to catch in the grooves in the direction the carriage moves? i...

can't figure out what i did with the damn service manual... our SC545-ex was tracking poorly a couple weeks ago, and i broke the cardinal rule, i changed one of the end pinch rollers. (ALSO, I USED A CHEAP CHINESE ROLLER FROM EBAY) everything seemed fine until i loaded a roll of 38" 13 oz...

i just went to order a few retractable banner stands from harbor sales, couldn't locate them on the site & called in they just stopped carrying the product line this week i called grimco and they have none in stock. my customer's request to be able to order and use these on 6/3 seems a little...

i am working up proposals for a new customer, including some "across the street banners" like they had last year (?) printing 54" on our eco solvent rolands, what would be the best material to order? we have the equipment to finish (banner welder, juki sewing machines, etc) with sufficient...

i have been considering getting one of the newer generation of roland printers, with one thing stopping me (besides being incredibly cheap) it kind of outrages me that you are locked out of service menu. my position is once roland is paid, they no longer have standing to lock me out of my own...

a couple months back, i modified the roland to hold 3 54" rolls i was inspired by the OCE that can do a roll change all by itself, in the middle of a job as i get older it becomes more of a PITA to change a full 54" roll so this morning i printed a couple things before running out the door to do...

watch the video seeing the finish quality of this guy's work is amazing best use of 15 minutes you may ever have jburton, you are probably the most experienced machinist on this site, what do you think? (i can never cut a perfectly straight line, without making a jig first)

i want to give out an award for worst service manual i have seen in 50 years in the electronic repair industry. (better than 35 yrs experience with wide format printing) the 390 page mutoh service manual does not mention A SINGLE VOLTAGE OR TEST POINT in the entire service manual for what it...

i see i can buy a 54" x 50 yard roll of eco solvent printable window perf from signworld for $259. (also from walmart marketplace) is there a reason it is so much cheaper? any experience with this, anyone?

we just acquired a vj 1204, as a backup machine,, (retiring the old roland fj52) does mutoh have a free rip? like versaworks for rolands? we will be printing from flexi, but i was curious

i normally purchase the bulk of my supplies from harbor sales, they deliver every day, no delivery charge when they are out of stock, we fall back to grimco i needed a roll of avery mpi3323 ($133.75) they were out of stock for a few days i called grimco, their price was $184.55. i hung up i...

a few weeks ago, gino gave advice on prepping primed mdo i have cut to size, filled the holes & started priming he mentioned 3 coats of primer on the edges SINCE I BOUGHT PRE-PRIMED 1 additional primer coat on the flat, primed surfaces should be enough?

any suggestion? rtv? silicone? not sure what the correct adhesive would be

one of our major clients wants us to start installing perf at client locations (bear in mind i have never installed any & would be doing a wet install & although i learn quickly i will not be terribly good at it) what is the minimum temp that we should be doing this at? PERHAPS WE WILL LOOK TO...

can anyone give us a referral for a company local to new jersey supplying whole framing supplies? (aluminum extrutrusions, etc)

we sometimes do stickers/decals print cut jobs as we are getting busier, my question is, will a job of small decals cut more accurately on the machine that printed it? obviously if the job is 12" x12" stickers a little error will be within margin of error (and easier to compensate for) but if...

when we switch to general formulations 201OAP-54 after printing a few feet,, i develop a ridge (the material lifts in the center) not much most of the time but once in a while i don't watch and flatten it out between prints and get something like this (carriage striking the vinyl, or scraping...

one of the microswitches on my roland sc545-ex went bad today (it would beep once in a while & we had to reseat cartridge #4) went bad completely today & i was in no mood to pull the ink cartridge bay, but i did i DID NOT put the transport plugs in the jet best cartridges, since they were only...
