We use Roland Versaworks 5.5 and 6.2. Does anyone know of a way to easily print a julian date code on each product that we produce? Is there a Variable data option to add that? If not in Versaworks, is there another RIP that can do this?

We currently have two SP-540V's and one GX-640. We purchased a second cutter, but can't seem to get it added. When I click "Add new printer" the only port that is showing up is the cutter that is already installed. If I delete it, then I can install the other one. Are you allowed to have two USB...

This post is just me being cheap and lazy. I have two Roland SP-540V's and both of them have had ink spilled on the keypad, which just makes them look bad. I would like to just cover the keypads with a sticker to make them pretty again:smile:. Does anyone have a cut template for the keypad...

I am getting a really strange error in Versaworks for my GX-640. Everytime I try to cut a job, it says "Cover Open". If I click "try again" it cuts the job fine. Since the GX-640 doesn't have a cover, I'm not sure what this error means. Has anyone seen this before? Jeff

We have a new Fotoba Digitrim coming in this week. We always print, laminate, and cut our projects. We use an SP-540 to print, then we laminate, then use a GX-640 to cut. When we print with margin marks and crop marks, the GX is dead on accurate. However, when I print with fotoba lines and...

I have a GX-640 that I am having an issue with. Hopefully someone has seen this and knows the solution. Graphic Solutions Group told me that they don't work on GX-640's very often, so they didn't know what to do. When it is cutting, it will cut deeper when the vinyl is rolling forward than it...

We currently have an SP-540V and a GX-640 cutter. I am looking at upgrading the SP to the RF-640. I don't need the cut option since I have the GX. I am really interested in the speed. Does anyone have any experience with this machine? Is I as fast as h claims? Can you share your insights...

I have a Roland GX-640. I have recently started having an issue where my cutter cuts too deep on the side near the control panel and not deep enough everywhere else. If I increase the force enough to cut deep enough everywhere, then I cut all the way through near the control panel. The...

I recently purchased a GX-640 to pair with my SP-540V. Curretly I use Versaworks. I print on the SP-540, then laminate, then cut on the GX-640. The problem is that the cut lines aren't exactly where they should be. I have gone through the calibrations on both machines and can't seem to get...

I need to re-calibrate my GX-640. Does anyone have the service manual for it? Thanks, Jeff jeff@stickertalk.com

I am looking for a Fotoba Digitrim 64 or similar device. If you have one for sale or know someone who does, please give me a call or email. Thanks, Jeff Chambliss http://www.stickertalk.com

I am the latest version of Versaworks. I have an SP-540V that I use to print on and I use my GX-640 to cut. I just recently got a take up real for the SP so I can just leave it printing with several jobs queued. My problem is with queuing up the jobs to be cut on the GX-640. I would like to...

I typically use Oracal 3165RAG, but decided to give 3M IJ35-C a try. It's about $40.00 cheaper per roll. I have already ordered more Oracal, but I don't have time to wait on it. I can't seem to get the profile correct. I am printing a 28" x 64" video game side art. It is 75% blue. I am...

I just purchased a "new to me" GX-640 that I paired with my SP-540V to help free up some time for printing. The problem I have is that the cut lines are consistently off by 1/32" in the x direction and 1/16" in the y direction. I've tried: 1. calib function, but it doesn't make any...

After reading several posts proclaiming the benefits of a separate cutter, I just pulled the trigger on a GX-640. I needed to free up the printer to print, so I got the cutter for cutting. Now I realize that Versaworks can't do both simultaneously. I printed several jobs and after dry time...

I have an SP-540V. I left a long print job running when I had to run out. I normally babysit my machine, but I needed to get this job done. Evidently the lights blinked about 6" into the job. When I got back about 4 hours later, the print head was stopped in the middle of the job...

I have a client that wants some 48" x 48" yard signs for a political campaign. I've never made yard signs this large and I'm not sure what to use to stake them. What type of stake should I be looking for or do I need some type of frame for something this big? Thanks, Jeff

I just had GSG replace my K C head and now I have some type of alignment issue. The first Star shows magenta on one side of the star and cyan on the other. The star is only .25" so it's not noticeable unless you look really close. The second star shows what it was like before the head was...

I need to make some control panels for a Ms. PacMan video game. The material that is on the control panel now appears to be polycarbonate. It is a semi rigid material. I need something similar, but I don't know what to use. Can you cut 5 mil polycarbonate with a plotter? I need to cut three...

Has anyone ever used http://www.dgpartsmall.com/ ? I need a new printhead for my SP-540V and they are selling them for $675. http://www.dgpartsmall.com/roland-printer-parts/roland-printhead.html It seems so cheap, I was afraid to order from them. Jeff
