  1. Need Help Roland VP 540 print problem

    Have you tried to send to Versaworks, then print from Versaworks instead of printing from Flexi? In the past, I tried to print from Flexi and it soaked my vinyl with the matching profile. I went back to Versaworks for the same material, used the Versaworks profile and it was fine.
  2. Flexi sign and print 19 to 21

    If you have Summa set to ignore Flexi's pressure and speed settings, you will never see there was an issue. Once I changed it to allow Flexi to determine pressure and speed (which I had to do if I was doing a perf cut) Flexi would always default to 60 and 3 ips speed no matter how it was...
  3. Flexi sign and print 19 to 21

    With 19 (was 32 bit) i had a lot of crashing when I had a ton of nodes. Since 21 is now a 64 bit version, that issue went away for me. I ran beta versions of 21 for 6 months and they have definitely improved since then. They also finally fixed the driver issues with Summa plotters. There's 1...
  4. Roland issue

    Yes I had better luck with the Generic vs Roland DGA types (DGA was the ones I had issues with - even on DGA vinyl that the tech brought). I since have downloaded new profiles as they add them to Rolands site with even better quality. Eventually, I want my own XRite and tweak the profiles as...
  5. Roland issue

    Try a different profile. I had 4 service calls, new heads, dampers, and more. Even anti static strips. Including my tech having Roland on the phone. We dried different profile and the problem disappeared. My new VF2-640 would band real bad in black and occasionally mess up colors. When I bought...
  6. Commercial restaurant awnings

    We are in Maryland. I have the ability to even build the frames, but if I did that, Id still need someone to fabricate the fabric with a print. It would be easier to ship just fabric compared to the whole frame. Im looking at , at least 3 at 1 customer location and possibly 5 at another location.
  7. Commercial restaurant awnings

    Does anyone recommend a wholesale or direct to trade company that fabricates custom printed fabric awnings and frames for windows[? Im looking for something like this ...
  8. Software for running Summa cutter

    I have 2 Summas. 1 for die cut and 1 with OPOS cam for print/cut. I use Flexisign to send additional weed lines for my die cutting... horizontal and vertical. Never had a problem
  9. Review Great Air Scrubber for Solvent Printers

    I used to do water restoration and mold remediation, and I used Phoenix GuardianR Pro Hepa air scrubbers. A single GuardianR Pro will provide four air changes per hour (more than a 30' x 30' x 8' room). To top it off, this machine draws fewer than 2 amps of power. I use 1 at our shop now...
  10. gross thick banding lines on both(!?) printers?

    Banding only showed up for me when I used certain profiles. Back then, Roland had nothing else for profiles. Now they have Arlon and a few others. My tech found it by accident. Try printing with a completely different profile and see if it goes away. Mine did. I had been using the Roland...
  11. gross thick banding lines on both(!?) printers?

    So I had Tyrrell Tech (including the head district manager) at my place for 5 trips over a 4 week period on my New VF2-640 that was banding only when I pushed a lot of black. They replaced all possible components (Print heads, pumps, cap tops, diaphragm ,etc) and did not fix it.... come to find...
  12. brand new summa s2 t160 up for grabs

    Does it have Opos camera?
  13. Summa Cutter Control 5.10.0.10 and Flexi 21 connection confict

    I do not use the barcode. I use the Opos XY for registration in program for my print then cuts. That was how the old owner did it and I continued. Summa Cutter control sits to the side (I have 4 monitors) with OPOS CAM green under the status.The way mine is set up is If I cut/plot Flexi does not...
  14. Summa Cutter Control 5.10.0.10 and Flexi 21 connection confict

    I never stated it can be done without usb. I am running Flexi 21 with a Summa S275 and a S2160 Opos and have NO issues. (Except 1 or 2 power outages that I discussed earlier) I have my 160 connected by ethernet and the usb both connected. PM sees both machines with ip addresses and Cutter...
  15. Summa Cutter Control 5.10.0.10 and Flexi 21 connection confict

    How long is your usb cable?
  16. Summa Cutter Control 5.10.0.10 and Flexi 21 connection confict

    Im guessing you have your cutter hooked up through ethernet ports as I do with my S2160. It may be an issue with routing. I have had that issue after a storm and reset my router, and my problem went away. For some reason, after a power outage, it dropped the ip address and wouldnt pick it back...
  17. Roland VG2

    I bought a VF2-640 and the only problem I had was banding that came from a couple of Rolands DGA generic profiles. Been perfect other than that. Prior to that we had a RF-640 that ran fine until the building roof leaked and landlords insurance bought me the VF2. I run separate Summa cutters...
  18. VG540 Horizontal lines

    Which ICC profiles are you using? Ive had a VF2-640 for about 6 months and I had terrible banding with my blacks. After 4 visits (some all day long) from my certified Roland service company, who replaced heads, pumps, and dampers, we found that it was the "Roland DGA profiles" in the media type...
  19. SAI flexi randomly crashing and/or aborting jobs

    I did have it once. I got a message from Windows that Network discovery had been turned off and needed to be turned back on. I never did anything with the computer to turn it off. I made a change in the regestry and so far it hasnt happened again. I really dont think my issue was with Flexi.
  20. Not sure if this is a Summa issue or a Flexi issue

    I understand your problem. It took me a yr with tech support and a beta software to get Flexi to work with Summa to be able to Perf Cut. We used to use the settings in the cutter, but Once you get your settings in Flexi, it is easier.
