First of all, yes I know it is 10 year technology; but, for the most part it has run fairly flawlessly. Here's the problem. I finished off a fairly big job a couple of weeks ago. I didn't touch my machine for a few weeks because of installs. I fired up my machine this morning to start a job and...

I just went to print some vinyl, got my file set up in Versaworks and when I hit print I got a message saying Versaworks was shutting down. I did a re-start of my computer after several attempts with the same result. When I brought Versaworks back up again I get a message saying something like...

It looks like I am no longer able to open .eps files sent from newer versions of Illustrator. Has anyone switched over to Corel from Adobe Illustrator? Are you still able to use all of the files you created in Illy that are in an .eps format? I have no clue how Corel works...I'm assuming it...

I just had a file sent by a customer in .eps file. When I try and open it, I am unable to and it says I need to resave it with a version that is compatible with my version of illustrator. I am using CS2, but why can't I open any .eps file and use it like I have always done? Is there any way I...

Has anyone tried the Rivet Cutter from Rolle Pro? I have been using the original Rolle Pro for years with mediocre success. I was thinking about trying something else to see what works. If you have tried it, are you using it instead of the original Rolle, or after? Or, are you using...

I have a fleet customer that I have been working with for a several years now. For Christmas this year I am going to wrap a 1/32 die cast model of his semi/trailer combo. Does anyone know of a site to get blank die cast models of semis? Most of what I have been finding already have decals...

I have been using TransferRite 1310 (the plastic-based tape) for years now and was just wondering what everyone has been using? I haven't had any real problems with it, other than the last 1/2 on the roll is pretty much impossible to get off and I end up wasting it. I'm always open for...

My SP300V has quit sheet cutting. The carriage will get to the left side and make a noise like the blade is releasing as it should, but then when the carriage starts to go back to the right (it doesn't get more than a brief move to the right) I get a motor error and the machine shuts off. The...

Its been 100 degrees and humid in WI and I have an install tomorrow on a semi trailer. I did two last week in similar weather and had problems keeping my masking tape sticking to the side of the trailer to hold up the graphics while I was measuring and lining them up. Any suggestions?

Has anyone replaced their media clamps on the SP300V, and if so, how often? It seems mine have been hanging up on Oracal 751 lately when I've been cutting. If I run the clamps across the media after taking them off the rail they almost feel like they are stuck to the media. I've cleaned...

I have CS2 and recently I have not been able to locate the add stroke feature. I can figure out ways to add strokes without it, but the problem is on some of my older designs that I still use that have a second stroke are not able to be adjusted. I can't even access the second stroke to change...

Has anyone tried to change the pinch rollers on an sp300V? I can't find instructions in the manual on how to do it. Directions anyone?? thank you!

While printing gradients I have been getting banding. The larder the print, the worse the banding. This is not happening with normal printing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

I did a trailer for a customer and the colored vinyl is peeling off. There are other spots on the trailer that are doing the same thing. The white vinyl is the same material, just not printed and laminated so I don't think my surface preperation was poor. I think the problem is with the...

I've been cutting some Oracal 751 and as it is cutting the vinyl wanders as it is feeding. This causes it to come completely out from one side of the clamps. It doesn't always go to the same side, either. Any thoughts?

This message just started popping up recently (Heater Voltage Setting Error). I haven't changed any of my settings on the printer, other than increasing the temp for a different profile. I've lowered the temps and it is still happening. I've checked to see if the setting on the voltage switch...

When I am cutting unlaminated cast vinyl, the letters pull up in the corners as it is cutting. I've lowered the blade pressure (to 50) from the laminated stuff and I am using. Is it because I am using text with serifs? It is 2" text. The blade is newer, and I've had this problem with every...

has anyone tried using the manual crop mark detection? I have tried it a couple of times because of forgetting to change the rip to cut from print after laminating and it never seems to work. Any suggestions?

My SP300V has started to not read crop marks after laminating. I can wait for it to reset and try to cut it again without changing anything and it works. I emailed Roland and they said to contact my tech guy. I'm sure others have had this problem and I'd like to fix it on myself if possible...

I have a line of text that has a stroke with 10 weight. When I add the stroke, the letters run together. When I add the cut line, the cutlines also overlap (of course). By screwing around on my own I was able to get them to blend (don't remember how), but I lost the stroke color and was only...
