  1. Need Help Making ICC Profile, grey's are green ??

    It's actually called "density control only". As everyone has said, this is important so that you don't print your ICC swatches with another ICC profile "correcting" the color of the swatches. When I create a profile in Versaworks, I want to insure no color management settings are impacting the...
  2. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    You will probably have to modify the individual files to get what you need.
  3. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    As suggested, you should contact the dealer. Your only other option would be to try some other profiles in Rasterlink.
  4. CJV150-75 Cut vinyl edges rising

    Agree with all that you need to wait and let the media outgas, usually for 24 hours - before both laminating and/or cutting. As others have stated, the solvent temporarily changes the vinyl properties, which can cause shrinkage if cutting before it has outgassed. The other thing that occurs is...
  5. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    What RIP are you using? If you are using Rasterlink, then good luck! If you are using Onyx or Wasatch, then I may be able to help you. Specifically, what are your ink colors? I have been doing color profiling for around 20 years, including multi-ink configurations, such as CMYKLcLmOrGr. But not...

    Looking for a working JV3-160SP mainboard. Mike Pro, check your conversations, as we discussed this.
  7. Need Help VS640 Nozzle bleed issue

    It appears you may have a internal micro-crack between the yellow and cyan channels in the print head. Have you had any head crashes? Is the bleed-over always in the same exact place?
  8. Roland sp-540v message

    You most likely did not do the procedure correctly. The video outlines the process perfectly. I would suggest you try it again. It is very important that the printhead is locked in place for the "Move to Cap Pos" step , as shown at the 55 sec - 1 min point. If you can move it to the left at...
  9. Question Printing on Vinyl

    Sublimation ink is not meant for printing on vinyl, only on paper designed to accept sublimation ink. If you do get it to stick, it will most likely have muted colors. Solvent & Eco-solvent inks use a combination of solvent and heat to soften the vinyl surface and allow the ink pigments to...
  10. Can Head Soaks Create Problems? Is There A Downside?

    You should be fine letting it soak as long as needed. Back in 2004, we had several extended power outages during back to back hurricanes here in south Florida. As a precaution, I advised the soak procedure for a customer who was concerned, as she used MegaInk, which was very quick to dry. We set...
  11. Need Help SP300V cut strip

    Google "Roland SP-300V cutter protection strip". A number of links come up, just have to see who has them in stock. Should be less than $20.
  12. SP-300V Wiper Motor Replacement/Grinding Sound

    Are the black wipers you are using Roland OEM wipers? If not, I suggest you try them and see if the issue goes away. The older Roland wiper system is finicky about wiper stiffness. I'm not a big fan of the OEM wipers, but it will certainly confirm if stiff wipers are the problem. If that fixes...
  13. Roland VS Cyan overspray (FIXED) Thanks Jim Hancock

    The problem was a bad cyan channel on the print head causing overspray. New head, good to go...
  14. Need Help Another Royal Sovereign Laminator Problem :)

    Should have specified the obvious, that you look for up & down movement as shown in pic, is while running the machine (no lamination needed).
  15. Need Help Another Royal Sovereign Laminator Problem :)

    That pressure should be ok. I think I adjusted to 15 with the pressure lever in the "vinyl" slot. It's been while.
  16. Need Help Another Royal Sovereign Laminator Problem :)

    Royal Sovereign uses crowned rollers, so you will get a pressure differential between the ends and the middle. Check to see if the rollers are out of round by laying something rigid across the roller. See attached pic. The Royal Sovereigns can drive you crazy.
  17. Need Help Edge lifting on 3M IJ180 during printing

    The machine is kept very clean by the operator, including the platen, grit roller and pinch rollers. They are running the 3M on their VG-640 today to see if they have the same issue. Right now, I'm leaning towards the left pinch roller being worn more than the right roller. As the 3M is thinner...
  18. Need Help Edge lifting on 3M IJ180 during printing

    I have a customer who is having a strange issue. He is running a Roland XR640 with OEM ink. After the print has gone a few feet, it starts to ripple up only on the left side and eventually leads to a head strike, BUT only on 3M IJ180. I have tried various temperatures, 35 up to 50 degrees...
  19. VS540 pinch roller replacement

    You should be good to go, then! A suggestion on installing the new pinch roller. There are washers on either side of the roller. If you put a tiny bit of grease on the washer, it will stick to the roller, making it much easier to align and get the roller shaft through the pinch roller and both...
  20. VS540 pinch roller replacement

    There should be a colored dot on one side of the pinch roller. This dot is on the high side of the roller and should go to the outside. It is highly recommended you replace both outside rollers at the same time. If one of the outer rollers is more worn then the other, you can start to getting...
