  2. Roland VS540 Printing Black Specs in Yellow Prints

    Thank you. I will definitely take your advice. Are there any tutorials or instructions or advice for that procedure of replacing the dampers for the VS? Is there anything else that would be sold separately? Thanks!
  3. Roland VS540 Printing Black Specs in Yellow Prints

    I need some help from anyone who has perhaps been through this issue. We can't print yellow without black specs showing up. I've included pictures. We just replaced the following, the capping station, felt, wiper, and wiper scrapper. We've performed multiple manual and auto cleanings. We've...
  4. Roland VS-540 yellow blochy printing bands

    We removed the encoder strip and cleaned. It still is laying yellow down on certain prints. I contacted a couple Roland tech centers and they say it's the ribbon cables and that they need to be reset. I checked them and they look good. They also think that the cables could be overlapping the...
  5. Roland VS-540 yellow blochy printing bands

    Anybody out there with any tech experience have an idea what could cause this. I contacted my local tech dealer, and they said it usually would be $300 for a service call, but would only charge me $200, then it would be $140 per hour for labor. They said they think it might be some wires that...
  6. Roland VS-540 yellow blochy printing bands

    We just recently replaced the scan motor on our 2 1/2 year old VS-540. We updated the versaworks software as well as the Roland printer firmware at the same time. Ever since, on occasion it'll print yellow bloches about 1 1/2 to 3 inches from the right side. It's not on every file or print but...
  7. Tension Problem with Drytac JM-54 Laminator

    Ended up being a defect with the packing grease getting on the tension disks. Drytac knew about the problem and the techs came out and installed a new set of teflon tension disks, and it works like it should now.
  8. Roland VS-540 question

    We've been using the vs-540 for a year now, and we switched it to only pass what it's printing. It hasn't caused us any issues that we know of. It's a lot quicker when it doesn't have to pass all the way across each time. I forgot if the setting is on the machine or in Versaworks.
  9. Tips for Beetle Wrap

    Hey guys. Just checking if anyone has any suggestions for installaton tips on wrapping a 2008 VW Beetle body style. Thank ahead of time for any tips.
  10. feather flags

    I'm intersted in this as well.. what material... who to purchase from... we currently sub out our flags and would like to know what the Rolands are capable of printing on textile material. How long does the ink last on fabric and what people are doing for hardware..... thanks.
  11. Tension Problem with Drytac JM-54 Laminator

    I posted earlier about the issues we're experiencing with our laminator. If I'm laminating something and have 'hand tight' tension on the take-up reel tension knob, if I grab the roll while it's moving, should it stop with very little pressure, or should it be more difficult the harder the...
  12. Problem with Drytac 55" Laminator

    I need some advice on setting up and running a 55" Drytac cold laminator. We have no problem with webbing the laminate, but for some reason when we're runnning material, the point where the backing separates from the laminate, gets 'sucked' under the rollers, along with the print, as we're...
  13. PC for Graphic Design...

    Everyone talking PC is great, but what OS? It matters when considering maxing out your RAM. XP-32, XP-64, 7-64.... just curious when you're putting together a PC what OS you're deciding on using. Thanks.
  14. Flexisign Problem loading

    We just purchased a backup dell desktop with windows xp 64. The problem so far is that it won't load our flexisign 8.1 properly. It keeps saying that we're missing a file when we've loaded the same software to other xp desktops without issues mulitple times. Any help would be great. Send me a...

    We can print white and contour cut. Call me, Robert 813-664-0022.
  16. 55" Laminators

    We just recently purchased out vs-540 Roland printer, and also purchased a new Drytac 55". Paid around $5000 for the cold laminator. Takes some getting used to, but we've laminated 70 linear feet of 3m controltac in one pass, with just a little tracking of the laminate (pretty good if you ask...

    did you try to recreate the same design and save in a different program? just a quick thought.
  18. 54" Roland VersaCamm VPi - Questions

    I re-read the post.... you can't use if you're printing and cutting all in the same pass. It's only going to be used for printing jobs. Our first wrap print was 70' long, we did it in 2 RIPS, and Prints. We didn't take the vinyl off the take up reel the entire time, and it tracked 100%! I was...
  19. 54" Roland VersaCamm VPi - Questions

    If you plan on printing wraps, I would recommend the take up reel. We purchased ours at the same time as the printer. Get the Roland one, the cheap ones are just that... cheap. I think we paid $1900. It's easy to install and use.
  20. Attitude.

    I feel ya! I tell my guys, that if they do it once, plan on it happening again. If the customer insists on not paying for something minor until it's done, I'll consider it... if they screw around without paying when it's done, they don't get another chance... they're on permanant prepay in full...
