  1. Most elaborate Gerber Edge FX (or non-FX) work you've done

    I'd love to see some examples of work done on a Edge FX.. think most colors, specialty foils, scale/size, etc What's the most over the top production you've done or seen?? I'm looking for inspiration on how far and elaborate the Edge FX could get pushed. thanks
  2. Anyone still running a Epson 10600 with dye inks?

    I'm doing a wide format test, and I need to print on a coated paper, using the Epson dye inks. 10600 version only (44" wide material) Anyone still running this by some slim chance? or know someone?? thanks
  3. Gerber scientific stop manufacturing machines..real or not?

    Wow... sad news. Not to hijack this thread.. but could someone post a photo or PM what their 1200dpi quality CMYK printing looks like? Something photographic perhaps? Google images doesn't bring up any examples I can find thanks
  4. Which Roland printer/cutter to purchase?

    How long do those helmet decals last? A couple of games?
  5. Roland LEC or LEF printers: Possible to do gradients and opacities of white ink, in 1 print pass?

    Ok, thanks Pauly. This same thought occured to me today as well! will try over the weekend
  6. Roland LEC or LEF printers: Possible to do gradients and opacities of white ink, in 1 print pass?

    Just curious, I know I can print solid white ink base layers, but is it possible to get VersaWorks/Roland to print a 'greyscale' of just white ink? from lets say 1% white ink density/opacity all the way to 100% white ink density/opacity all in 1 printing pass?? thanks
  7. Roland felt wiper replacements

    Hey group Are the Roland felt wipers the same (universal) for all the Roland printers? I'm looking for felts for my LEC printer, nothing is coming up in a google search. Trying to find best price.. as I think my dealer said they were 50 dollars a piece thanks
  8. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    I wish the new Roland printer was as easy going for us, as it was for you. I don't think you realize how draconian these new printers are, compared to the SP-300V I suspect in my case, because I'm running WHITE ink, corporate policy is to make the owner and printer... clean clean clean all the...
  9. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    My dealer is Central Paper. However, they are not willing to travel to my location as they've now deemed it too far and unacceptably out of their range. So, I'm currently trying to establish a new relationship with a local dealer. Still waiting on getting this taken care of , and a service...
  10. any pigment printer , width 180cm

    Convert an older solvent printer into an aqueous setup.. and you can get Roland printers in 70inches +
  11. LEC2-300 owners??

    Ok, I guess it's good I can call a tech in... and have them do something with the Peck software. My dealer has told me Roland will not allow anyone to rollback the firmware on the printer. Even though they strongly encourage me to update the firmware. Nice. The printer is under the extended...
  12. LEC2-300 owners??

    Yes, Roland has eliminated the 'Periodic Cleaning' from the menu.. as well are removing 'Time to Clean' Was in the Owner's Manual, then at some point my upgrade wiped it out. As you say, possibly available in the Service Mode.. but I cannot access. I guess I'll have to get a tech in...
  13. LEC2-300 owners??

    Any LEC2 owners hit the auto cleaning cycle during printing? Apparently when the internal clock hits a certain point with the Roland, it then begins a internal count down of cleaning every 30 mins when printing. So if your long banner print takes 45 mins... well... 30 mins into the printing...
  14. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    So just a *possible update to this thread I'm running a LEC2-300 and it's doing a cleaning cycle during every print. My original owner manuals showed there was a menu option: The manual doesn't state whether that 30 min auto cleaning time can be adjusted... it doesn't say at what time/point...
  15. NEVER BUY A ROLAND!

    Oh geez... Our printer has started doing the exact same thing. It runs a cleaning cycle during a print. We've never run anything but Roland OEM inks. I've purchased inks from our initial dealer, other local dealers and online dealers. All official Roland products and dealers. Running a...
  16. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    When UV inks haven't cured entirely, especially due to a porous absorbent substrate.. the inks will penetrate and not cure for a very long time. Sadly, the smell/fumes of the UV ink will continue for quite a long time Roland Eco UV inks are very smelly, not sure why they label it 'eco' just my...
  17. BEWARE of South Water Signs

    What exactly is a survey in context to this thread?
  18. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    Maybe move into a SwissQ UV flatbed? I think those inks might not have any smell....
  19. LEC2-300 owners??

    What kinds of substrates are you planning on printing onto? The Eco UV5 ink is supposed to have better adhesion, the clear is not as 'yellow' and it more 'clear'... not sure how flexible it is in comparison to the other inks EUV2, EUV4. So far no breakage with multi-layered prints. Print...
  20. What is the machine that can do this process? UV 3d labels? not a sticker?

    Still waiting for a little down time before trying, I'm pretty positive it will work. Flatbed printer is only to make it 'easier' to keep in place and held down. You can use the LEC to accomplish the same thing with some creative thinking :)
