This is what I mean, the first time I tried it I was unaware of having to leave a gap. Printed some and came back next day and they were severely curled.

Yes I do mean having the print bleed off. The thing with Rtape is solvent based you have to leave a 6mm unprinted gap between the print and the cut or else it will curl right up. Yeah I can can see they probably use it to print white and/or metallic on the 80600. I'm not too concerned with...

I mainly do custom cut vinyl stickers. it's approx. about 90% of the work I do. One request I get a lot is for metallic/holographic vinyl. I've struggled with Rtape and using it on my SP-540V. Sure I can print on it but limitations of having a 6mm clear edge if it's going to be cut is rather...

I was able to get it running again. I got a syringe and pulled some ink from the hose coming from the captop, did a test print, had a little black mixed in a then it cleaned up after I printed a block of cyan. New caps are on their way and will be replaced this weekend.

I'm still looking into equipment but financing for the Epson seems to be an issue as I'm a new business and, not a homeowner and have some debt. So that's got me leaning back towards the Roland because I got a decent interest rate on that side. I really want to go with the Epson/Summa combo but...

Thank you. That's what I was hoping it would be I just need to buy one. Thought I had an extra set but don't. I also wonder I noticed that the problem side the cap is like .5mm lower than the mag/yellow side. Could this be the springs? Would there be a concern for head dry-up with it like this?

So yesterday everything was printing fine and has been for quite a while but I came in and did a test print like I do every day when I startup the machine, except the cyan was pretty much non-existent. I did a cleaning and it got a little better but it's still not coming out out it. Haven't had...

Not much. Bare minimum really. I'm on guy just starting out in this vinyl printing world.

EstiMate sounds kind of like what I'm using now. (CreateaBid) Can customize it in pretty much every aspect but as far as record keeping I can see it becoming very cumbersome for tracking/archiving management. I can export for QuickBooks from it so I suppose I'd be into using a similar setup to...

Now that I'm transitioning into a regular operating business I'm finding I need a better way to track and schedule jobs. I need some direction and tips for organization as I'm not highly organized myself and this is a whole new world learning the business side of thing. Right now for...

The local tech in my area worked on my SP-540V not that long ago. I don't see why they can't...just not covered under and kind of warranties.

I may have to try that clear option myself. Never tried that for metallic. I use R-tape metallics on my Roland but with solvent printers it recommended to leave 6mm unprinted area between the artwork and the cut.

I mean the roland pakage with the RF 640 and the GR 540 would be about $21k, compared to approx $15k for the Epson and SummaCut D140 and Onyx Thrive. I mean that's a huge difference especially for me as I'm a one man operation just getting going. Roland sales guy said he could probably match...

Now the Roland guy is trying to get me to get a RF-640 and a Roland cutter but I definitely don't think they will even be close to matching the price I'm getting the Epson and Summa for.

And being accurate is exactly what I want. I do primarily die cut stickers and labels. If I was doing wraps and a little cut stuff I think the all-in-one would be suitable. I know Epson is, no questions asked, a reliable printer. In my years of offset that's been the standard in the shops I've...

Oh well doing a separate print and cut system. Specifically and Epson and Summa cutter.

Yeah I'm getting a quote on the S40600 and a Summa D140 and Summa S Class 2 D140. I'm super small so I can't afford the S Class 2 T model but maybe the next level down, which I'm sure performs much better than what I'm used to in an all in one system and it would increase productivity as well.

Has anyone heard or seen the new TrueVis SG2 in action? I'm very close to getting a new machine...I was about to pull the trigger on one but my issue is with the cutting. I do a lot of smaller cut stickers and labels and I love doing full cut outs. So with that in mind I'm really hesitating on...

I'm actually glad you mentioned that, as I was thinking the sensor might be the issue. After digging into it I noticed that the encoder strip was touching the rear half of the sensor. I was able to loosen the stripped screw a bit and centered it over the strip and channel. Did the encoder setup...

My SP-540V has really been giving me a hell of a time. I had encoder strip problems a few weeks ago and I bought a new strip, installed it and everything was fine. Now a few weeks later, I started a print the it started fine and then went to a blurry mess. I cleaned the encoder a couple times...
