  1. Arlon DPF8000 Bands like crazy

    On our sp300v, we're having MAD banding issues with EVERY profile we try. We've tried the sp540v, slowed head speed down, changed temps etc. EVERYTHING results in banding and splotchy colors. Is this just a crappy vinyl? Not to mention it shrinks so bad on the liner before it even gets printed...
  2. Unstickable PVC Banner Material?

    Hey guys... Working with a large customer who installs big rectangular vinyl (25" x 60") prints to PVC Banner-like material. It appears to be regular banner material -- Feels the same -- but since they've switched manufacturers of the supposed same material, our test piece of vinyl is not...

  4. Homemade Application Fluid??

    Hey guys! I have been using ActionTac (by Clearstar) for the last 6 years and found it to be my favorite application fluid so far. We use it to clean the surface prior to install, and during wet installs. The only thing is, I'm tired of spending $25/gallon! SO my question is, how many of...
  5. Stickers sticking together!!!

    So we printed about 500 stickers on our Roland printer, onto oracal 3165, un-laminated. Rubber banded them together (stacked ink side to back of sticker in front of it....like a normal person would stack a sticker) He received them in the mail and said the stickers had stuck to the backing of...

  7. List your Versaworks Settings for PHOTOS...

    Curious what you guys are using for settings in versaworks when printing photos? I've played with printing this photo last night on my SP300V tonight for about an hour and a half just printing using different settings and just about EVERYTHING appeared grainy... I'm printing photos to Oracal...
  8. Ugh...can't get this :( Bevelled Font to match customers.

  9. Bright Colors - RGB or Max Impact?

    New to printing with versaworks...curious though. The printer we usually use takes our CMYK files (using roland's normal black tile) and our blacks turn our perfect black and usually the colors are nice and bright/vibrant using MAX IMPACT. That's all they print with... So my question is, whats...

  12. Apple Software for Plotters?

    Hey guys, we run ONLY apple products in our shop, using SUMMA plotters. We have been designing in illustrator cs4/5 and sending to signcut x-2 to do the actual cutting of the design...
