  1. Macsign cut

    Since long long time i'm using macsign cut (the free version) for my S2. It works like a charm but according to specs only up to macos 10.14. Which is outdated (chrome gives me warnings it can't be updated anymore.) Anyone know if macsign cut is working on higher versions than macos 10.14? I...
  2. Question Captop problem?

    After changing the black/cyan printhead (SP300i), the captops, dampers, the pump, and the wipers I get sometimes missing nozzles, and after a cleaning, I get a nozzle check that seems like cross contamination. I also notice that with the aftermarket wipers (all rubber, no felt) the front of the...
  3. Sp300i printhead replacement

    My heads are failing me and I need to replace them. I normally had this done by a technician, but captop / damper replacement etc I've done before myself. Getting the heads replaced by a technician had gotten real expensive, so I took the change and ordered two heads...
  4. White print vinyl for labels

    For a client I print thousands of labels (2 x 6 cm) on a weekly base. I used oracal 3164 because it is more white than oracal 3651. The 3651 is color off with the cans that are labeled. Recently my clients reports shrinking of the labels leaving an edge of residu. Within 1 month after being...
  5. Oracal 751 black problems

    On a regular base I see faults in rolls of Oracal 751 (mostly black gloss or matte.) I looks like manufacturing faults. It starts somewhere halfway a roll, repeats itself every other 1.5 meters for like 20 meters and than dissapears. Since it doesn't follow the roll diameter (it's not on the...
  6. White on transparant for small labels

    Hi There, for a client who sells nailpolish product i produce a lot of labels. Most are printed on white labels. Client now wants a product range with glass enclosure. My Roland printer has no white inkt option. So i'm looking into labelprinters that can print solid white on transparant...
  7. copyright question

    Some clients ask me to customize carstripings by adding a logo. For example the '500' for Fiat, of the 'Ka' for Ford. It's easy to find that the Fiat and Ford logo itself are copyrighted, though i can't find out if the '500' and 'Ka' are copyrighted. It seems logical that these are...
  8. 30" print (&cut)

    My current Roland Sp300i is about 8 years old and never let me down. But it's getting old and though it's still working perfect I'm trying to figure out what would be a good replacement. My main 'problem' is space. I do not have room (or clients) for a 54" printer. My current Roland is working...
  9. S class 2 D75 tracking and crashing

    I bought a S2D75 a couple of months ago to replace my D60. The D60 has been rocksolid for almost 8 years, cutting daily about 20-40 meters of vinyl. It never missed a beat. So I upgraded to the S2. It crashes sometimes when releasing the pressure of the rollers. Sometimes multiple times a day...
  10. Is this bad?

    This morning I noticed this message on my versacamm. I looked it up in the manual but couldn't find anything about it. Did anybody see this before? I bought this versacamm on ebay from a farmer in Hungary. In the ad it wasn't mentioned what the machine was used for. I guess i do know now :omg:
  11. Oracle 3164 backing

    Did anyone notice they changed the thickness of the backing? It's much thinner than it used to be. I noticed it while feeding a new role into the machine. Ouch, major head strikes due to wrinkling with my normal temp settings. The cutting knife (in rest position) even shred the vinyl. Be warned.
  12. Oracle 651-090 (silver) cutting problems

    Anyone else having trouble cutting with this particular vinyl? It seems a pain in the *ss to get the cuts straight. Could it be because of reflections? It helps to cut with extra force, but I still haven't got the right solution. Circles have open ends, etc. Every time the beginning and...
  13. Need someone to convert file from CC to CS6

    Hi, I'm still working with CS6 but a customer has the file only in CC format. Could somebody convert this (simple) file for me to CS6? If so please post your emailadres in a PM and I will sent you the file. As a thank you i will plant a tree in the forest nearby my house! Cheers.
  14. adding multiple files to versa works

    For a client I print number decals. Each time different ones out of a total of approx. 3000 numbers. Now I have to select all the numbers needed one by one which takes too much time. I read that some people are able to select and drag multiple files into VW, but this doesn't work for me. Is...
  15. Stop cutting out the contour markers?

    Does anybody know a way to tell the summa to stop cutting out the contour markers? It's quiet annoying and 'time consuming.' Plus the vinyl needs an extra pass through the machine. I want it to just cutout the design.
  16. Help with correct spelling

    Hi Guys, a dutch client who is into horses gave me a quote to put on the back of a horse trailer. I'm not sure how to grammatically spell and put this quote correct. (i'm dutch) The quote as given: ' A travellers son or girl next to horses is a god greatest gift to men ' (next to meaning...
  17. ink drops?

    Does anybody know what this might be? I know my black head (sp300i) has some deflections. When printing solid red it looks like the head is spitting out drops of inkt. It's not contamination on the vinyl. Fuzzy picture attached.
  18. Toyota Corolla Verso 2004 rearwindow template

    I need to cut a oneway vision decal for the rear window of a Toyota Corolla Verso 2004. I have the CCvision template, but the client is going to stick it on himself. The window curves around the edges so it's hard to make a real size template from the CCvision template which is 2d. The decal is...
  19. Black banding

    Anybopdy got a clue what is happening here? Black keeps banding. I did the calibrations etc. Cleanded encoder strip. It does give me the message that the black cartridge is on its end, but that has never caused problems like these before. Head is 1.5 years old. I do use the correct profiles...
  20. 3m questions

    At the moment I'm using metamark M7 for simple vehicle signing. The material is good but with the growing business clients keep asking for more known brands, so i'm looking into 3m stuff. 3M series 50 - is this good enough for normal side striping, company names etc? 3M series 80 - is this a...
