  1. Volume discount?

    __________________ If anyone read what I said in my first post (#5), you'd see that I supported offering a reasonable quantity discount, but not a discount amount based upon some arbitrary number pulled from the sky. In my second post (#9), I was responding to the OP's comment #4 where he...
  2. Volume discount?

    Mattc said: It appears that you picked a discount number from the sky without really considering your costs. Why are you so eager to give away your profit and put yourself out of business? (Maybe I can offer even more discount ...) You can't count on a client's potential business. Did this...
  3. Volume discount?

    The order did not come by way of an email did it? Many of us regularly receive email requests for high volumes of basic, one colour banners, usually with some religious message, from some Church Minister. Beware! These emails are scams, intended to take your money. If the order is...
  4. font help

    It is not a Drop shadow but is a BLOCK shadow. It appears that it may also incorporate a tiny outline around the lettering. (the photo seems to show an outline although the text vinyl appears to have been installed even with the top of the outline) FlexiLetter should provide a variety of...
  5. What to do?

    Sorry to learn about this. Since the trailer was under your care and located on your property, and considering that you took the reasonable precaution to lock it, removal of the trailer without your consent constitutes theft from your property. Since you didn't authorize its removal and didn't...
  6. Cutting Reflective

    There are reflective vinyls made for flat signs and others specifically for vehicle applications. Ensure that you use the proper grade for vehicles, otherwise it will often crack, especially in inside corners of lettering. For police installations, 3M Scotchlite is often the brand specified...
  7. magnet signs ate my customers truck

    Mark Galoob said: Twice per month is roughly every 2 weeks. Does he really expect anyone to believe that there was absolutely NO damage just two weeks ago? If he comes back and says that he saw damage showing before that, what actions did he take to prevent further damage once the initial...
  8. Printing 1000's of decals at one time.

    If a detailed bitmap image is reduced down to 1/4", are you also reducing the ppi to a reasonable level before ripping? If the resolution remains too high, I doubt if Flexi PM can assign a proper ink dot pattern to print an image so small. I think that PM will need to discard some data and...
  9. removing painted vehicle lettering

    Although I've never tried it, I've heard from multiple sources that spray-on oven cleaner will remove hand painted graphics without harming the vehicle paint. I suppose that if the oven cleaner doesn't work or does harm the original paint, your customer is no worse off than having to get the...
  10. Roland Please Cut Where I Tell You to Cut

    bhewlin, Are you setting the prints to be centered aligned on the media? If so, try printing/cutting on the right (head park) side edge close to the right pinch roller. This advice raised some controversy yesterday on another thread but I've experienced cut alignment problems when printing...
  11. finish printing

    If you shut off the `Halt when empty` (or whatever it`s called) setting, you`ll probably get enough additional head passes to finish the job. There will be some ink remaining in the cartridge. There is a spring loaded paddle within the cartridge that is held back by the ink bladder. When the...
  12. Just how accurate should print/cut be?

  13. Just how accurate should print/cut be?

    On the Roland machines, Print-Cut jobs should never be set to center on the media. They should always commence printing from the right (head parked) side of the media. If the job is set to center on the media width, the cut will not be in alignment no matter how the print-cut calibration is...
  14. SP540V slow printing (head stops a few second each end)

    Although your problem is now resolved, it is generally best to take the router out of the equation. If you install a second network interface card (NIC), the printer can be connected directly to the computer without interference from the remaining network.
  15. How many cleanings during a 3'x5' print...VP540?

    Ensure that the printer's Firmware is up-to-date. Some of the older F/W included too many cleaning cycles depending on printer model. I've never had anyone explain what the chip on the cartridge is supposed to do but some Roland models do not even use it. I have the original VersaCAMM SP-300...
  16. Rip Software

    The SP-300 and SP-540 were the original VersaCAMMs. I have one and it is still a great machine. It shipped with ColorRIP as the included RIP. I exclusively use FlexiSign Pro which is both a great design application and RIP. I was already a Flexi user before obtaining the VersaCAMM so I've...
  17. roland head cleaning

    Hi Gil, It appears you may have a blocked drain hose or a defective pump. When the heads are parked and the capping stations are in contact with the heads, the hoses to the drain bottle allow a small amount of air into the capping station to 'break' any siphoning action on the heads. Since...
