  1. Roland VP540 Print Server Firmware Update

    I'm having issues with the printer losing connection to Versaworks mid print. This only started after I updated the printer to the latest firmware, 4.8. I've seen others mention a .BIN file that can update the Printer Server (Ethernet chip) Firmware, but can't find the file. Does anyone...
  2. Roland VP-540 Cyan overspray

    Considering I have bought less than a dozen Cyan 440ml cartridges in the printers life, I'd find it hard to believe I'm at 5 billion. I also haven't heard of any sort of multiplier for the head shot count obtained via the service menu, and don't know what the point of it would be. If you can...
  3. Roland VP-540 Cyan overspray

    Hmm, that's what I was afraid of, and makes sense. The machine is 6 years old, but has had little use as a printer, more as a cutter. It has had regular cleanings though, and is always left plugged in on standby so that it ran it's self-clean as needed. A Head shot count shows the Cyan head...
  4. Roland VP-540 Cyan overspray

    So, an Update... Over the weekend, I soaked the heads twice overnight, clueing and running them in between. Today I changed out the Black and Cyan Cap Tops, cleaned the Encoder Strip, and added some Dryer sheets to the back of the unit in case the issue was static. Ran a test print on some...
  5. Roland VP-540 Cyan overspray

    File is a Vector printed from an EPS, designed in Illustrator. I get the same results if it is a PDF. Those are some Awesome suggestions, something I had't thought of. I'll give them a try. The printer is 6 years old, but has had very little use as a printer until recently when we got...
  6. Roland VP-540 Cyan overspray

    I've run into a problem I haven't encountered before, and not sure what the issue is. The Cyan head seems to be producing a lot of overspray, and the alignment of the Black nozzles seems to be out of whack. I've attached a few photos, any feedback would be helpful. I've had to learn this...
  7. Roland VP-540 Caps

    I appreciate the info. Anyone have a contact for a Roland Dealer in the Pacific Northwest that has decent prices on parts?
  8. Roland VP-540 Caps

    I've got a VP540 that has had very little use as a printer since it was bought in 2008. The dealer I bought it from went out of business, and the dealers here seem to prefer to service machines they sold first, so I've had to teach myself about the maintenance of the printer. My question is...
  9. Opinions and Advice,Window Decal

    That was my thought exactly. The OP has been insulted, called lazy, a Thief, a conniver, all just for asking for a design critique in a section which I believe is dedicated to such things. I think the PhD label is going to some peoples heads. While I have been a member of this site for years...
  10. Opinions and Advice,Window Decal

    Don't take some of the comments too hard CreatedDesigns, their comments are merrily their opinions, not gospel. Some people just need to feel superior. You put your artwork out there and asked for help, and the changes you've made have shown improvement. Visually, I liked the red lettering...
  11. Made the 6pm news again....

    Next week he'll be calling the new station again because the school will have had the audacity to request ID for him to step on school grounds. Some complaint about not having access to public property probably. This thread is exactly like a train wreak, you want to look away, but don't in...
  12. Royal Sovereign RET-2500 Electric Trimmer

    Looking for a Royal Sovereign RET-2500 Electric Trimmer. Located in Metro Vancouver, BC Canada, but also have a delivery address in Blaine, WA, or can travel to pick up. New, demo, or used unit in good shape. Contact Clinton at 604.779.8961 or clinton@surfacegraphics.ca Thanks! Clinton
  13. Matte Finish Carbon Fiber Film

    You are looking for 3M Di-Noc CA-421. It is a dull finish, and is more realistic looking than the 1080 series. It is a bit hard to find, as many suppliers don't carry it, and those that do typically want you to buy 10m minimum. It typically runs in the $45-55/yd range from the suppliers that...
  14. Walk-ins...

    I completely understand, been there, as mentioned in my post. To me, it's more about how it's handled. Unfortunately, none of us can see the future, so you never know how much business that walk in could be worth. I realize that many of the previous posts are just vents on how those people...
  15. Walk-ins...

    It seems to me that the easiest solution to this, for those that so despise Walk-in business, would be to make a simple sign that says "Not open to the public". Or, don't have any signage on your place of business at all, so walk in customers wouldn't even know you are there. But, it's great...
  16. Is 3M 1080 Matte Black cuttable

    We use it to wrap Cell Phones, and have no problems with weeding the cutouts.
  17. Window perf problem

    As a very active eBay seller myself, I find it frustrating to see that people view eBay deals as cheap garbage. Like any large marketplace, it has a lot of everything, and it's products span both the quality and cost spectrums. I look at it like a VERY large mall. Just because the product was...
  18. Window perf problem

    Keep in mind that eBay has a Buyer Protection program in place. If there is an issue with the product, contact the seller and give them an opportunity to fix it. Send them a few pictures of the issue, and ask for a refund or a replacement roll. Do as much of the communication via eBay...
  19. box mounts?

    These are actually mounted on MDF. Costco offers this sort of service in it's warehouses, in our area anyways, and before I got into the Sign biz, I had a few large prints done. It's basically a laminated print mounted to MDF, with the edge bevelled and painted. Most of us are quite capable...
  20. 3M Vikuiti film

    Coming from the the entertainment side of things, when I first saw this product I was blown away with it, then I was told the price. As far as Projection Screen material goes, this stuff is priced obscenely. Fine for small projects, like the one the OP did, but for anything larger scale, it's...
