  2. Ideas...Gloss black on flat black

    Hey guys! Got a request today for Gloss black pattern on flat black. My first thoughts were gloss black die cut vinyl over flat black sheet of vinyl....second thoughts were print solid black on matte finish vinyl on a Roland UV Printer and print the pattern itself in clear UV only. Can...
  3. VersaWorks Preferences "Preview-Quality" ??

    I've always passed over this option since I never really saw a difference when I changed the options, but maybe someone here can give me a rundown. In VersaWorks under the General Tab there's a section titled "Preview" with options for Quality and a check box to enable monitor proofing. I've...
  4. How many of you actually use PerfCut?

    Just curious how many of you actually use Perf cut? Does it really mess the cutting strip up that badly? If so when is it most beneficial to use perf cut? Give me some ideas....not sure we'll ever use it but it's been in the back of my head for a while now - seems pretty useful but no one...
  5. Mimaki vs Roland Print Quality??

    Heyyyyyyy! Up for a little discussion this morning. Was browsing the internet last night, bored, and ran across the CJV30 series Print/Cut Mimakis. Before this, I had no interest in running anything but a Roland. As of now we only run Roland Print/Cut machines, but it got me curious how the...
  6. Custom Flag? 3x5

    Hey guys....I am in need of just ONE (maybe two) 3'x5' custom flag for my shop. Do any of you guys here do this? This is a project for me personally and I thought of a cool idea that I'd like to play with :) Shoot me a PM if you do please! Matt
  7. Glossy "Wet" Carbon Fiber Wrap Film?

    Hey guys, have a customer looking to wrap some interior trim pieces on his vehicle...he wants to use carbon fiber film. Usually we'd use 1080 Carbon for this, however, he is requesting it to look more like resin'd carbon fiber...where it's glossy/wet finish. Does anyone currently make a...
  8. ColorPrint PU Cutting...PITA!

    This stuff prints like a dream and feels great once pressed...but for the LIFE OF ME, I can not get this stuff to cleanly cut! Cutting through ink...I'd tried fast, I've tried hard, no matter what -- the blade continues to skip (sometimes less than others). Our best settings so far have been...
  9. Rollers or Squeegees? Big Trailer Wrap Installs.

    Hey guys...curious what you're all using for flat surface installs on wraps. Mainly trailers (solid color change wraps) or hoods/roofs of vehicles. Using Oracal 970RA or 3M 1080 - are you guys using roller tools or squeegees? We did an install yesterday on a huge trailer (double decker, 50ft...
  10. Download Roland Color Library??

    Hey guys...latest version of VW 4.81 here. We reinstalled illustrator and lost a bunch of our swatches. Does anyone have an online link to download the whole color library including all the new stuff with 4.8? I haven't found it anywhere on roland's actual website... Matt
  11. Handheld Device Templates?

    Hey guys, this request comes up a LOT lately. And usually if we don't have it hand templated already, we just turn it away since it's not worth the hourly rate to hand template a new device out for some kid's toy. Where is everyone getting their handheld device templates for custom vinyl...
  12. Laser Level?

    We're always looking at ways to save time...we do a ton of wall and building installs and were thinking how much faster it'd be to use a laser level rather than measure measure measure, mark mark mark..... Is anyone here using a level to hang signs? Apply vinyl to walls/existing flat subs...
  13. Neschen Easy Panel 310 or??

    Hey guys...customer looking for something similar to Neschen Easy Panel 310.... 10-12mil thick printable semi-rigid plastic (NOT translucent). We have a sample roll of the easy panel from fellers and it prints fantastic on our printer, but only available in 36" widths. Anyone have any other...
  14. Claybar before install??

    Curious if anyone else is doing this with vehicle graphics and especially wraps (mainly solid color). Does anyone here prep vehicle surfaces before install in any way besides just cleaning the surface with alcohol? We've been thinking about using a clay bar (or alternative) to take any...
  15. CHEAP Label/Stickers? Large Quantity Needed.

    Hey guys... I don't know why, but once we get into the cheap cheap cheap market, I have no idea where to go. We have a REALLY good customer who's opening another restaraunt/fast food style deal, who wants to have some sort of 2-color paper label/stickers 2.5"x2.5" round to put onto just about...
  16. Please Identify this font...

    Customer thinks it's a variation of TIMES NEW ROMAN, but I don't think it is. I've run through font recognition with no good results. The tail on the 5 is a killer on this one...any ideas?
  17. Laminator is my new best friend!

    Why have I been hand applying signs for the last 5 years?!?! We had an order of 18"X24" die-cut vinyl signs to apply (mostly full coverage) this week and we allotted two days to complete the order... 4.5 hours later, I'm boxing up the order. I saved $30/gallon fluid, my hands, and...
  18. Options you'd like to see in VersaWorks?

    I was thinking about this tonight and was curious what options you guys would like to see with VersaWorks to make your lives easier...for me: 1. Option to turn on/off a Long Beep after a print job is done. -A lot of times we're out of the room when a print job finishes and it's sitting there...
  19. Pro4 vs XC540?? Anyone?

    Just curious if anyone here ordered or is currently using the new Roland Pro4? If so, what made you opt for that over the XC540....and was the XC540 even an option for you when you made your decision? Curious to know what people are thinking.
  20. Best way to cut dibond AFTER installing vinyl?

    Hey guys, wondering if here normally anyone does this... planning to install die-cut vinyl to both faces of a 4'x8' sheet of di-bond. THEN, cut the di-bond into 18"x24" Pieces... The idea is to install ONE piece of vinyl on each side of a big sheet, and end up with 10 signs after it's cut...
