  1. Users with GR-640

    Specifically for a GR-640 using a third party rip such as Onyx and Flexi. Can't confirm 100% but I am thinking there is a bug in the firmware - seems that the rotation of the cutter is out 90 degrees. In Onyx I have to turn on the 90 degree option in the cutter itself, and the cutter acts like...
  2. Versaworks "File is corrupted" over and over

    At my wit's end on this one. Hope someone has some insight. I've been through all the threads pertaining to this issue but none of the suggestions seemed to work for us! Computer is running Windows 7 Pro - 64bit. About 70gb free on drive. Versaworks 5.5.1 Printer - XR-640 This started...

    Hey guys, Got a situation that I'm hoping that someone out here may have some experience with. Printer: XF-640 Cutter: GR-640, replacing old GX-640 Issue is that GR-640 only runs using Versaworks Dual. XF-640 is not supported using Dual. I have two Roland machines that cannot directly...

  5. RF-640 and GX-640 networking issues

    Hey guys, So our shop finally put our old VP-540i print/cut workhorse to pasture and upgraded to a new RF-640 with a separate GX-640 plotter. The way the shop is currently set up is each designer has a separate copy of Versaworks running on their machines to run the printer and plotter over the...
  6. Vinyl decals overlaid on brushed aluminum wrap

    Hey guys, Curious if anyone has had any success with overlaying vinyl graphics overtop of a brushed aluminum wrap? Specifically a customer is looking to have 3m IJ680 printed reflective vinyl laid on top of 3M 1080 black brushed aluminum. I'm a little concerned that I might not get the proper...
  7. Ritrama 7244 Insignia Blue equivalent

    Sorry for this annoying kind of post - but I don't seem to have a Ritrama swatch book handy - my customer doesn't care what kind of vinyl I use, but all he knows is it has to match Ritrama 7244 Insignia Blue. I have the easiest time getting in Avery IC 600 - and was hoping if someone could...
  8. Need some advice on how to wrap this

    So, this local company approached me a few weeks ago, these guys do lift kits on trucks - basically they make them look like whoever is driving it is compensating for something... ANYWAY, this guy was taking his truck to SEMA in Vegas, and the company that had originally wrapped the truck in 3M...
  9. Shop table surfaces

    So I've joined the entrepreneurial world and broke away from the sign shop I've been at for years and am going to try this on my own.. I did some digging in earlier posts and just wanted to have a more up-to-date conversation if there are some new products out there. Anyway, I've built a 5x10'...
  10. X-Rite i1 Basic Pro 2

    I've been trying to dig into past threads in regards to spectrophotometers without much luck, so I apologize if this has been hashed out before. Basically, I'm tired of having to manually color match customer colors to a bunch of different color swatches we have printed and stapled to the...
  11. 1080 black carbon fiber weird "crinkles" after installation

    Please see the attached pic. This is the rear trunk of a Lexus IS300. I was working out some tension when I applied this, though I was able to get the grain of the carbon fiber relatively straight despite that. Now there is something all I can describe as a crinkle, that you can see when the...
  12. Tricks to designing this wrap?

    Anyone have any tips on how to design a wrap that will go from one side over the hood to the other side in one seamless design? I design in 2D each side then the hood last but not sure how to tackle something that continues seamlessly. I usually try to fade to a solid colour or add an obvious...
  13. X6 and CutContour

    Okay, I know this has been hashed to death - but the solutions provided in previous posts simply do not work for me. Background - I've been using Coreldraw X3 for about 5 years and our shop just upgraded to X6 this year. Haven't had problems with the CutContour prior to this. EPS or PDF files...
  14. Vinyl that accepts ball point ink and doesn't smear?

    I tried searching this answer out before asking, but came up with nothing.. I have a customer who we have recently made vinyl oil change decals for - we used an oracal 3640 vinyl without a laminate for this job - they are writing on them for mileage, date etc. The problem is that the...
