Yeah, I have a GR2, but its the 540. Yes, its a pile of shite, and definitely not even close to being in the same class as the older cutters that they made (still have a CX-300 for 30" cut vinyl that I've owned since '04, it works perfectly and never complains or has a brain fart), but it seems...

Hey all, Trying to post up the parts from my dead XC-540, but there's dead links in the classified section and I can't seem to figure out what all is required for me to post up the parts from the printer in that section of the site. New machine comes in tomorrow and I've stripped everything good...

Edit: Well, I didn't realize this was several months old when I posted! My bad... Nope, cartridges are chipped and will not reset back to 100%. If there's a fair amount of ink in the cartridge, you can continue printing, sometimes for weeks. I won't suggest this to anyone else, but I do it...

I know this is an old thread, but for those searching for two heads out on an xc-540, there's a fuse on the main head board that controls power to the CM heads, one for the YK heads and a third fuse for the LcLm heads, just went through this on my machine over the weekend. Good luck in...

I'll definitely agree with you on that, Vworks is definitely not there yet, we still have issues here and there, but just work them out internally since our warranty is finally out. I don't use flexi any more, so I don't know much about how it masks, but I would be willing to bet its about the...

Well, I can almost without a doubt tell you why you got that print, although I'm about 2 months late in answering! You have a bitmap either embedded in the eps file, or its a raster image you're printing, and it has a transparency associated with the file. I ran into this about 2 years ago...

Heh, their still having these issues, eh? Here's the problem with the material... The solvent ink breaks down the backing paper and you end up with the backing paper shredding and most of it sticking to the backside of the transfer. Its usually more prominent where there's heavier ink laid...

That's the one I was looking at just a little while ago, I think I'll get some of that and try it out! As for printing white, I do not, but our Roland is capable of printing white, we just choose not to lose our LM and LC print heads. Its unnecessary to print white on light-colored vehicles...

Hey all, I'm curious to know if anyone has seen a repositionable cast vinyl made for printing that is clear. Its a weird request I know, but I'm trying to come up with something a bit unique for a metallic silver vehicle, where the artwork overlays the paint. I've done a bunch of printing over...

What about dust being directed over the print area? Any issues with dust in the prints so far? I assume the fan you're using doesn't move a whole lot of air, but would still think its enough to pull dust into the printhead area. Not that I mind the smell, it sorta reminds me just how much money...

Yep, its been like this since the start of time-or in this case, Coreldraw 1.1! I still design in RGB when in Corel and export as RGB, but when in Photoshop (which I'm using almost as much as Corel every day now) I design only in CMYK. PS is quite accurate and almost identical in screen vs...

Send them the ruined material, they will either reimburse you or send you ink, especially if they can't figure out the problem. I've had several calls into them about issues with eps print/cut jobs that they are able to duplicate but unable to fix, got 4 new ink cartridges from them as...

Seems to be happening with mine also, only after the latest firmware update though, it never did this before that one. What version are you on? Chris

What? Some of Microsoft's IE design team get fired and Mozilla hire them or something??? Just tried a drag&drop into Corel and Photoshop and that's no longer allowable, so I'm quite annoyed at this point with this new version! Guess I'll be going back to version 2 tomorrow.

Only thing I've found that works relatively well is saving files in Photoshop as layered TIFF, use ZIP compression and at the bottom of the save screen, save as zip(slower saves, smaller files). With just that bottom box checked, I took a 7 layer RGB file from 1.8mb down to 812kb. Not sure if...

Well, I guess I'll get one side installed today, and wait for ink on Monday! At least I got the last few feet to finish up the passenger side, so its not a total loss for this weekend! At this point, its not really worth running around to find a cartridge, I'll just use the weekend to catch up...

If inconvient issues arise at my shop, it would definitely have to be at 8PM on a Friday! Just lost my LM cartridges and I have a whole wrap for a Suburban to do this weekend! What really pisses me off is that I didn't notice the LM was low, so I just purchased the two 440ml cyan carts today...

I guess I should have stated this initially, this post was really more of a rant than anything else. I've printed the job correctly and laminating in a few minutes. Roland tech support has been stellar and has been able to reproduce the issue on their own machine but NOT fix the problem. I've...

Well, while searching for a font for another S101'er, I ran across a font you may be interested in! Looks like those dogs "may" have come from a dingbat font called DoggyPrint AOE, their website is www.astigmatic.com, font was created by Astigmatic One Eye in 1998. At least that's the info...
