  1. Can't figure out how to make this sign...

    Can't get the upload function to work so here is a link to the pics. Delivered today and the customer loved it. Printed on Oracal 3640, mounted to Coro, hand trimmed and used Coro triangle braces, weighted to stabilize the sign that is 4 feet by 6 feet. Constructive criticism would be...

  3. Can't figure out how to make this sign...

    This is a current customer, and we are an offset print, copier, digital printer, and mailing house with a recently added wide format dept. We handle all of the printing for the customer and this was a project that they wanted us to do. We have been doing banners and posters for them and this was...
  4. Can't figure out how to make this sign...

    eforer, do you have pictures of the pieces you have made? I am trying to wrap my head around putting this thing together and a visual would be great.
  5. Can't figure out how to make this sign...

    Do you print directly on the material, and what material have you found that works best? I assume foam core, but I could be way off base.
  6. Can't figure out how to make this sign...

    I have a customer that has requested a "Pop-out" type sign. There are 2 parts to this sign. Both will be Vinyl mounted onto foam core. The front piece should be contour cut allowing the back sign to show through the cut out parts. This is for a movie theater and the cut out areas are around...
  7. need help really bad!!!!

    What were you printing when this started happening? Do you use the profile to print films or something that only outputs the K channel? I would go to the RIP and check your settings there. I am not familiar with that RIP, so do you output from a graphics software to the RIP and is monochrome or...
  8. Need idea and/or someone to make them

    Tyvek should work fine for the application. Our sign business here is a sub-section of the printing company. I print 2-sided tyvek on a weekly basis and that is ran on a color copier. It only cost 10 pennies to print each side and kicks out around 50 12" x 18" sheets every minute. I would never...
  9. What vinyl to use on felt poker table

    Sublimation will only work on synthetic materials. So unless the felt is man made from a poly based material, that process will not work. If you were able to print the correct placement before the felt is applied to the table then you could have it printed directly. Another post install option...
  10. Your Choice Roland printer Please Help

    AJ-1000 is a beast of a printer. Almost 1000 sq ft per hour on low res printing. Ink carts hold a liter each. It is a true solvent printer and will need ventilation. The techs for those machines have to go through special training, so be sure your local roland dealer is trained if you want to...
  11. roland cutting problem

    Correct offset for Roland cutters: .250mm for the 45 degree and .50mm for the 60 degree. If the offset is wrong you will have unfinished cuts and corners will be open. When you perform a test cut check the corners of the box. If the corners do not look square then you probably have the wrong...
  12. getting started as a printer tech

    Some manufacturers require dealers to have a trained technician on staff. That means that the dealer pays to send the person to the manufacturer to become trained. I have been trained by Roland to work on the Eco-Sol printers. With that training I have also worked on Epson, Mimaki, Mutoh, and...

    Do you have to obtain a mailing list, or does the post office take care of the addressing?
  14. Roland SP300V bad print head - what do I do?

    You do have two issues occurring. You do have clogged nozzles. Each line represents a nozzle and when it is not there then that nozzle is clogged. The other issue is deflection which can be caused by debris on the face of the print head or on the perimeter. You will want to clean the perimeter...
