  1. Is this possible?

    What is dual layered printing? A google search just brings up crap about DVD's.
  2. Is this possible?

    I am printing something for a backlit sign and I am having trouble getting the proper color with the light behind it. I have gotten pretty close by printing in fixed dark with an overprint of two but the problem is its wrinkling the material. Is there anyway the printer can print the logo once...
  3. How to convert outline to object?

    If you are using illustrator just right click on the text and go to "create outlines". This will turn the font into objects.
  4. Banding problem/Noise turning grey blue

    I am using Illustrator and ripping with Roland Colorip to the SC-540. We have Versaworks but my boss said it didn't work. Im debating on trying it again because I hear it is much better. I did try the blur but my boss insisted I use noise.. he is a little to particular for his own good.
  5. Banding problem/Noise turning grey blue

    When I print the same thing minus the noise effect, it prints as it should, grey. Only when I add noise to the gradient does it print blue.
  6. Banding problem/Noise turning grey blue

    We are having issues with a grey gradient. Its a mesh gradient and we are getting major banding issues. When I add noise to the sign it makes the gradient print blue instead of remaining grey. Im on the fringes of a stroke and don't know what to do. The internet is not helping out much. Help is...
  7. Replacing the motor SC-540

    Found it. In case anyone was interested. http://213.251.186.135/Technique/Doc/Roland%20DG/Manuels%20Machines/SC/sc545exe.pdf
  8. Replacing the motor SC-540

    Our machine started making a strange noise about 2 or 3 weeks ago. We have isolated to noise to the motor and new one just arrived today. I have been looking around and haven't been able to find a how to on replacing the motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
  9. Cutting in order

    Im using Roland Colorip. I'll look around for such a setting. You would think it would just do it automatically. I cant see any practical reason for it to do that haha.
  10. Cutting in order

    So we have to print 12,000 1x1 labels for a company. The problem is when we go back to cut them, it doesn't cut them in order. There are 4 sections of 10 with .25 in between the 4 sections. The machine cuts the first one in each section, then the second in each section and so on. As you can...
  11. Color

    Does anybody know any good places to learn all about color profiles, correction curves, etc? Also, I've noticed how Colorip will tweak the colors to make them appear similar to how they do on the print when I bring them in to be ripped, is there a way to do this with my normal monitor? Thanks...
  12. Control tac issues

    Roland colorip and SC-540. And it didn't work. It would print black boxes okay but the print itself looked like crap. We are thinking that our black boxes printed okay because they were able to sit on the heater for a sufficient amount of time as opposed to our print that was on it much less...
  13. Control tac issues

    We cranked the heat and turned the head speed down to 500 and the problem seems to be fixed. The print is like 150" so hopefully it stays consistent.
  14. Control tac issues

    We are doing some police trucks and we are printing on control trac. The issue we are having is that when we print black little lines appear all over it. We print on 1440 dpi with a roland sc-540. When we move switch to 720x1440 DPI the lines go away but our colors are off. Bit of a predicament...
  15. Vinyl shrinkage and crop mark detection.

    We have been lining up both crop marks on a straight edge on the printer so it should be pretty straight. That's what made us think of shrinkage or it being warped slightly. I cannot see the shrinkage, just a hunch. Yes, it is advancing around an eighth inch every so often. Sometimes its...
  16. Vinyl shrinkage and crop mark detection.

    We are using a Roland SC-540.
  17. Vinyl shrinkage and crop mark detection.

    We have been having issues with the crop marks not being found on Auto-Align. It will find the first one but then the material gets shifted up on its way to the next crop mark and completely misses it. It will do this 4 or 5 times and eventually work (rarely) or it will say "crop marks not...
