  1. Carriages are disconnected? sp-540

    Had the same problem in the past. It was the decoder. You can clean it with isopropyl alcohol. Dont use the printer cleaning solution or it will dissolve it.
  2. Can XC-540 cut through premask?

    Hello, Has anyone successfully contour cut a printed decal after it has had transfer paper applied? We are preparing a quote for a sheriff's station and they specify that the decals must be kiss cut to the shape including the premask. I would like to to a print-lam-cut but just use pre-mask in...
  3. Graphtec not completing cuts

    Because the material is thick you may need to enable tangential emulation so it will over-cut past the start point.
  4. Graphtec cutting inconsistencies

    Hello, I dont have a picture but basically if you follow the cut of say a circle the start point is shifted almost 1/16" sometimes a little more from where it ends. I think its most likely worn parts. The machine cuts probably 70+ signs at least a day for the last 10 years. We don't use any...
  5. Graphtec cutting inconsistencies

    Hello, I have a particular problem with an FC4100-130 cutter. When cutting the cutting paths are inconsistent and dont match from the start of the cut to the end of the cut leaving the path incomplete. In addition, when cutting text, escpecially letter "O" and "D" it will cut the center and...
  6. 100 banners? Is this real?

    The last shop I was at got hit with a similar order for a much larger quantity(I think like 500 or so) and they paid the 50% deposit by trying a couple credit cards that kept getting denied. When one finally went through it seemed fishy so the owner called the bank to double check it wasnt a...
  7. Looking for bright Roland color swatches

    Hello, I have the table printed on all the medias I use. I am going to try and get that swatch table sent to me and try to get it to work in Illustrator. Thanks.
  8. Looking for bright Roland color swatches

    Hello, Thank you for your help. I am using the Roland VersaWorks library and converting to the spot colors when printing. I use Max Density for the vectored files. I still can't get the same deep cherry red I am looking for. Mybe I just missed something in reading the post you linked to. I...
  9. Looking for bright Roland color swatches

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew a source for bright color swatches for a Roland SolJet Pro III Xc-540. In the past printing through Flexi-sign there was a Swatch library titled "Roland" under the color specs option. I am working for a different company now and they dont use Flexi. I...
  10. vector gradient color drop out

    Hello, I have gotten around a similar problem printing in the past. Under the object dialog you should be able to expand the appearance of the gradient to 255 objects(the default). If you are able to see the steps increase the number of objects but you shouldnt have to. This eliminates the...
  11. Cutting from Corel Draw 12 with Cutting master2

    Hello, I have the FC7000-130 cutting just fine now through the cutting master plugin. I think that existing drivers conflict with the cutting master program's communication. There is an old FC4100 that is used non-stop as well that I need to get working better. I think its just a matter of...
  12. Cutting from Corel Draw 12 with Cutting master2

    Hello, Some further insight.... I've gotten the FC7000 to cut using the USB Cable/setup in GPGL mode. What a relief. Now I just have to get the FC4100 to cut....
  13. Cutting from Corel Draw 12 with Cutting master2

    Thanks, I'll try it. I am more of a graphics guy than an IT guy. The cable came from Graphtec so I hope its the correct one. Could the error be a parallel/printer port issue? It takes an RS232 db25 male to male to connect it.
  14. Cutting from Corel Draw 12 with Cutting master2

    Hello, I am in the process of trying to speed up the production in the sign shop and have run into a little trouble. I just got into my current position at my job and was kind of surprised to see how in-efficiently the sign room is cutting the vinyl. They were using Corel Draw 10 and...
