  1. VP-540 Printing Faint Yellow

    Experts! My VP-540 has sat idle for a number of months, it was left turned on so it would do the automatic clean cycles. I've cleaned up the cap tops, soaked the heads overnight, done a manual clean, a couple of medium cleans, and a powerful clean to have a very faint yellow (almost white) on...
  2. VP-540 Fuzzy Printing

    I'm getting some cyan over spray when printing. I've done a couple of manual cleanings, followed by numerous regular cleanings, and a couple of medium cleanings. I soaked the heads overnight and did another cleaning with no improvement. All 4 print heads look decent in the print test, but when...
  3. "wrapping" Bicycle Helmets

    I'm wanting to wrap the sides and back of a "road" style bicycle helmet with reflective vinyl. It won't be a full wrap, just the back, sides, and part of the front. I was thinking of cutting strips of white reflective vinyl about 3 to 4" tall, wrap the "ribs" of the helmet, and then cut out the...
  4. Need Help VP-540 and Monitor Color Calibration

    HELP! What I print on media does not always appear on my monitor. I've set Versaworks to Spot Color and Colormetric based on suggestions from previous posts. What should I do first? Calibrate the monitor or load an ICC profile? The next question is What ICC profile do I load for the...
  5. VersaWorks 5.5.1, VP-540 & Multiple Cut Passes

    VersaWorks Gurus, I'm printing and cutting 3inch round magnets (Magnum DigiMag 0.20 if you must know) and I'm having to have the printer cut twice around each magnet. This is okay but here's the funny part. The printer goes through the first cut pass on each "print" and then returns to the...
  6. VP540 Not Finding Crop Marks For Contour Cutting

    Gurus, I printed 100 stickers on Orajet 3165GRA (glossy) with GCVP (High Quality) with alignment marks so the stickers would out gas before being getting their outline cut and I'm getting "Cropmark Error Not Found" message. I've reloaded the media numerous times, as suggested in the owner's...

  8. Pink instead of Red

    After replacing a Yellow cartridge, my blues came out green, my reds came out orange. I then proceeded to do a Powerful Clean and upon printing the test image, everything looked fixed. When I print my job, the blue looks great, but my red is really pink. I'm using a VP-540 with Versaworks. The...
  9. Print Profile Needed For VP-540

    Experts, I need a print profile for some MagX America XtruMag (Product number 202405VGW) so prints look decent. The site has you fill out a request form, but I have yet to receive any information. Yes, it is the MagX made in Vietnam. I thought this was the same stuff that I typically use...
  10. Fuzzy print on VP540

    When performing the versaworks test print (guitar) the cyan appears to be real fuzzy. The edges are not crisp around the cyan color box. It kinda looks like what you would see the first time you open your eyes in the morning, unless you have perfect vision. The letter C also appears this way. I...
  11. Baseball Logos

    It's that time of the year again, and I have a customer who's a coach for a girls baseball team. The one thing I don't have is the "baseball" or "player" for the rear window of Mom's and Dad's car. Can anyone point to who makes the baseball and player graphics so I can finish out an estimate...
  12. Automotive Color Matching

    Ok Gurus of the Rolands, here's one for you! I have a customer who wants the same color of the truck as the background of the magnetic signs. I know what you're thinking, the background as the same of the truck? I lost that battle, remember the customer is always (most of the time) right...

    HELP! I've got a customer with a 2010 Chevy Silverado that's Blue Granite Metallic wanting some color matching/contrasting graphics. Is there a site where I can type in the paint code from the truck and get a Pantone (or compatible) color code? Thanks Much In Advance!

  15. Ink Bleeding on a VP-540

    I'm getting bleeding on all four colors. Of course the manual has a great print troubleshooting section in it so I'm asking the experts! On four large color blocks at the top of the sample image there's bleeding between the cyan and magenta and the yellow and black. It becomes more evident...
