My machine is down and no idea when I will be able to get it back up and running yet I need someone preferably in Maine/NH/Mass who could help me with sticker work. Thanks

Definitely the network card. It shows now activity going into a switch i bought to try. Guess this is where I close up shop. Anyone have a used one?

It was fine sunday and I just came in and started everything up and I can't connect to my SP-540V anymore. InterCon-Net Tool doesn't show anything even if I rebuild, refresh...etc....I reinstalled it and nothing. Really not sure what happened....I'm guessing maybe a windows update threw it out...

I use General Formulations 203 for my labels and stickers. Nice thick liner. It's worked well for me over the past 6 months.

It's the cut carriage cable. I just did this on my SP-540V not an error since. Can't be a whole lot different on the 300 I'd imagine.

What is your blade depth? Should be no more than about half a credit card thickness. Also fold piece of scrap vinyl in half (liner inside) and make a hand cut with the blade. it should cut very easily and you should just barely cut through to the piece of vinyl folded under. This is the most...

I ordered one time and it took almost 2 weeks to receive the items. It didn't even ship for a week. I did try Solventparts.com and both times the items shipped same day and got them in time expected.

Thread is still relevant! I actually was having this issue and did the replacement today and so far so good.

So I've been asked a few times about doing these. Just for small products and small runs (50-300). Now I'm thinking 12mil is pretty substantial but not sure if it's quite thick enough. I'd be printing eco-solvent but I'm sure my SP-540V just wouldn't be able to handle the cutting. So I'm eyeing...

Yeah I've been kind of deal with the same issues. Job dependent and how much ink is laid down. If I'm not laminating it I just let it dry for a few minutes (3-5min) and haven't had any problems. With sheets I laminate I wait about a day for them gas out. I'd say 2 days is overkill.

I have not. Can you enlighten me on this...specifically which way to I flip it? Sorry as I'm learning to service this machine because Roland doesn't support it anymore and I def. cannot afford a tech.

Ok So cutting is unaffected as long as the printing and marks are good. I can print uni-direction, but the print and cut marks print with bi-direction and they get slurred. Anyway to get around that? haha And who is a reputable supplier I can get this from without waiting 3 weeks like I did...

They were printed before the strip was bad. I didn't know if it just used the crop mark sensor and data from the file for position. Guess I'll just have to wait for the new strip.

Opps it's SP-540V Do you mean manual registration of the marks? Or literally cutting them by hand?

My encoder strip on my SP-540V is definitely bad. Can I still cut jobs that I've already printed??

I didn't want to make a new thread for this same thing. I'm a one man operation with no money to spend on monthly subscriptions or software for estimating right now. I do everything with pen & paper and log all my quotes in an excel sheet. I tried www.createabid.com but I can't seem to adjust...

I'm not a big fan of this material, still people want it and I struggle. I don't know where to put this other than here. Can anyone help me with printing these or point me to a place where I can source print on this material from?

Yeah I do make sure I get it lined up before I start. I usually try to keep my sheets to no longer than 24" in length and it it laminated and cut to prevent that but it's seems to be hit or miss. Guess it's just something to live with until I can get a dedicated cutter.

I've adjusted it as much as possible. That's my thought as well it should have more marks to increase the accuracy. Maybe I'll look into that as it would increase productivity as well. I might actually have to think about that. It's a first gen machine and I'm not sure if the rollers have ever...

Not really sure if it's something I can fix, but it drives me crazy. I do a lot of smaller sized round labels. (1.5inches) It's kinda hit or miss when I do print and cut because I'll get some the are great and others the cut is off more than I think it should be. For instance I did 2 sheets this...
