  1. First Wrap

    Only problem I see is the fact that the lettering doesn't follow the body line....
  2. Wrap Installer Wanted

    Dang, I'm in Norfolk, if I were closer I'd help you out!
  3. ROLAND INK or THIRD PARTY

    I have the same printer and use the Solaris bulk ink system with STS inks and have 0 problems with them... My cyan cart valve froze up one time and nearly ran the cart dry, just took the cart out and wiggled it about and the valve unfroze, this was months ago and it hasn't happened since!! STS...
  4. VP-540 & Banding

    @Bearpaw - yes, I not only ran my calibration with slack, but the entire job with slack. I think next time I will try the profile for wrap vinyl with the RIPC designator in it. I had read to stay away from them, but they seem to be working better on the cheaper materials I'm using with the...
  5. Profile

    Download and import the version of the ICC profile from the manu. If it help, rename it to the type of media it is.
  6. VP-540 & Banding

    Yes I have performed a bidirectional calibration on detail mode, didn't seem to help. I went ahead and redid the feed calibration and it does the same thing when I slack off media. I think I'm going to get a tech out because if you read through my post, unless y'all can find a flaw in the way...
  7. VP-540 & Banding

    I'm running another long panel today, albeit a different type of media and color profile, and I'll try her way. I'll do the feed calibration with slack let off the roll in the back, and print using the printers feed calibration setting and see how it runs.... Maybe that'll be the answer to our...
  8. VP-540 & Banding

    My wife is DETERMINED to run the printer that way, but due to a different reason. She had a problem with lighter rolls being picked up off the rollers and smashing against the printer. If you put the media on the rollers correctly, this lifting won't cause any harm, but if you place the right...
  9. VP-540 & Banding

    Well, too much ink could be the issue, as I stated before I'm using a profile with higher ink %'s than the one recommended by Roland for this media... The next panel I've begun printing I slowed to 400mm/sec, and it doesn't seem to be much better. I know my heaters are working just fine, I...
  10. VP-540 & Banding

    Woops, may have spoken too soon. The document I'm working on is a gradient, from a bright red to a dark red. The print began at the bright red, and the first pic attached in the first post is a pic of what the bright red print quality was. The following attached is an overall shot so you can...
  11. VP-540 & Banding

    HOLY MOLEY, this is making a HUGE difference!!! Same settings all around, slowed head down to 475mm/sec, freakin' A!
  12. VP-540 & Banding

    The shop/printer/media are all stored and maintained at a nice ~74F room temp, so it's not a temp change. It's had the same banding problem since the summer... Right now the profile is setup to 760mm/sec, what should I slow it down to? The print heater is almost maxed out (I think it sits at...
  13. VP-540 & Banding

    Hello, I hate to sound like a broken record, because I know it's an often touched subject, but I've read everything I can about banding and how to eliminate it, and I'm afraid I might be missing something. To be honest, with my job setup to unidirectional, the banding is nearly completely...
  14. Banding mainly in dark/black colors

    I know this is a bit old, but for those looking, ensure you're using the correct profile for your media. Check the heater and dryer temperatures for the media. My printer (VP-540) uses F, the profiles are in C, so convert them to F and set them manually in your printer. This is because you...
