Our tech guy says there is an energy error and the USB connector, part of the motherboard, is damaged. Our FlexiSign won't recognize the port. Anyone have a used GX-300 motherboard - or a work around? Computer doesn't have a serial port and cutter doesn't have or ethernet port.

I'm wondering what digital print vinyl/lam (we'll use matte) people like to use for wall graphics. The client's wall (330" x 95") will be painted and ready for application. It does not need to be removable. We have a Roland VG2 540. Also, any advice on the wall paint, ie. latex, gloss, semi...

I was using Flexisign (12) and the PC screen shimmered. The next thing I knew it would not connect to the Roland GX-300 (USB and serial) cutter. Works on an older version of Mac I still have (thank goodness) but I tried downloading the GX-300 x86 driver and even had an IT guy take a stab at it...

I will search forum but looking for any easy buttons. Printing on what we think is a good Roland HeatSoft Plus HTV. I have cut set to what is explained as the correct setting but when I weed it it takes the letters with it. These are small and bigger logo type going on our own businesses t-shirts.

I have a GBC WF cold laminator. When I push the forward button the safety signal beeps. I won't start to turn until I turn the speed up to alight max. Sometimes it doesn't turn at all. I usually use the foot controller and it does the same thing with that. I can replace the speed knob rheostat...

Using Arlon optically clear laminate on an Oracal (Oraguard) perf 50/50 vinyl. Looks great straight on but looking from the side there is a distracting pattern where I installed using either a felt side or flat side of a queegie - both do it. You have to apply a fair amount of pressure to keep...

I have a guy who's a vinyl rep came in and would like us to cut vinyl for him - for a job. What would be a good Sq. Ft. price? Again, he would be supplying the vinyl; which is a window tint. It would be the shape of a wave for about 200'

We have our square footage price we use for 53' trailers but there would be a lot of fuzty work cutting and trimming around all the doors and pillars. Add a $1.00/sq. ft.?

We've had our VG2-540 (with Orange) for about 5 months and this problem has been with it since it started up. Replaced dampers and cap for this head and tech, with Roland, have gone through every test they could think of. Typically we did not control the humidity but have since got it down to...

We're using 3m ij180cv3-10 gloss with 3M 8518 gloss laminate. Especially with the new vans and the rear side panel contours we're getting lifting after we've delivered the job. We use the 3M liquid (twice) before getting as close as we can before using heat. Using hand/finger/squeegee or a 3M...

I apologize if this thread exists - I did a search but did not find one. I was using Oracal 290 gloss which comes reverse wound and when exiting the rear of the GBC laminator it travels in the same direction as the feed roller turns - this is good and I never have an issue with it getting...

We got a new roll of what we think is ij180Cv3 but the air release holes seem to be smaller and even laminated that stuff starts to curl immediately. 1.) any suggestions on keeping it from curling? 2.) anyone tried the ...mC-10 compared to Cv3?

I'm trying to do a job we did last year - a reprint but the blue, and basically all the blues, even on the color chart are all in the purple range. I've tried several different profiles, different media, Density Control, Max Impact, High Quality.

I have an SG-300, i know that you for your condolences, but since we bought it it never feeds out enough media before it cuts the sheet. I've gone in and added 90mm of "Page Space" in printer controls but sometimes that's not even enough. It always comes up with "Crop mark not found" but it's...

Wondering if anyone has got one yet and pros/cons? Ink costs, etc

We recently had a client where a new advertising person came on board and now doesn't want to work with us. They had some bigger jobs and we sort've understood but then we saw what the new company had done and we could've done it in our sleep. So I get this all sweet email "Hope all is well -...

We're looking to increase traffic to our website. 1) do we just pay Google and hope they increase our hits? 2) do we revamp or website, currently a GoDaddy template based 3) just frequently update our site with new stuff, videos, images, text, tags, meta-data, etc? what are long-tail keywords...

Have a customer with aluminum tank trucks. We've used regular #M vinyl and has peeled in the past. We also digital print 3M an it too peeled off within a year. Anyone have any ideas on what else we could use that will not peel? We have this Arlon sticky vinyl but it tends to shrink and then you...

Using latest VW and illustrator Cloud subscription. All of a sudden now every job I send the machine is double cutting; even using previously used files that worked fine. Roland is saying to save as a PDF instead of an eps file. I've restarted everything but it seems to be a know issue...

Installing snap trim on a sign. I don't have a 45 degree cutter. We do so few that's it's not worth it. But, cutting the 45 can be little challenging. I get it close but I was wondering if anyone has a better way of cutting the corners more precisely.
