Problem fixed! Thanks for your help...turns out it was the blade holder. I had a couple of extras on hand, swapped it out and working fine. Good call CS-SignSupply!

Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the replies. I'm going to order a new blade holder and cutting strip today. Is there a way to tell if the holder is sticking, or do you just replace it and see if it makes a difference. Have jobs I have to cut today, so hoping to find a way to limp through...

Hello all...hope someone can help me on this. I'm getting poor cutting quality and have tried setting adjustments, test cuts, new blade, etc. I have attached a photo...I'm getting what looks like a perferated cut. This is printed on heat transfer material because it seems to be worse on this...

Yeah... we clearly made a mistake with this Anajet printer. They blew me off again today, printer still down. In a bad situation where we can't (won't) sell a printer that is not working properly. I could print several shirts a day if we could get the printer working, but 60 days into it, we...

I was in the same situation. Have the same Roland 540, doing lots of business with lots of customers. Offering DTG seemed like a natural. Same art, same work flow. All of my customers were excited about being able to buy shirts from us. We made the significant investments into an Anajet mPower5...

I am looking to sub a job. I need 100 clear static decals, 12" x 9" that has a blue logo printed on them. To get the accurate blue, a white base will be needed. Anybody out there want to quote on this? Vector PDF or EPS file available. Thanks. Joe

Roland servide Thanks Dana. We are under warranty. The machine was installed in November. We choose to buy from this vendor because of the service promises that were made. I have contacted Roland directly through the web site and I am eager to hear back from them. Thanks for your insight. I did...

Roland support policy I agree, I would be surprised if this in fact is a Roland policy, however the vendor claims this is accepted and endorsed by Roland. I am trying to get ahold of Roland's customer service to get their comment on this practice. The funny thing is, I have told the vendor I...

Thanks... Thanks Pat. I thought so. I actually have a number of emails that explain the policy from this vendor. I will be contacting Roland, but did want to hear from other shops to see if this is widespread.

Can someone please confirm this practice. I have been told by the company that I bought our Roland VS-5400 from that repair service is prioritized by customers who also by supplies from them. I have been told that if my machine goes down, it may be two weeks before they get to fix it because I...

Thanks Thanks.... great suggestion

We wrapped a coin counting machine that has coating on the service of the metal case. I'm the vinyl is not sticking well (Oracal RapidAir). I'm going to redo it with 3M Control Tac, and use Primer 94 on the entire service. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Thanks, Gravy. That's how I have been doing it. In Flexi, the block shadow effect creates a perfect shadow in 5 seconds. Then I export back to Illustrator and continue working. You can preview offset and distance. It's a perfect solution, but I can't get Flexi running, and they have been no...

Thanks Mike. That still creates a step or notch, not the pulled angle I'm looking for. I know it's pretty small in the file I posted. Here's a larger version. Joe

Block shadow Thanks for the reply and suggestions. It's called a block shadow in FlexiSign, and that's what I've always called this type of shadow. Rather than simply making a black copy of the type behind the type, this has a bit of an outline, plus a perspective shadow, with the angled...

I used to make true block shadows for lettering using FlexiSign Pro, which made a perfect offset and drop shadow. Now, I can't get Flexi running on my Mac, and they seem to have abandoned the Mac platform. Does anyone know of a way of making this type of drop shadow in Illustrator, other than...

Thanks for the input. Sorry if I posted in the wrong area.... the topic heading of "Pricing" made it seem like the right place. My mistake. Thanks again. Joe

Okay...I know, every job is different, every shop is different.... I know. But, I have been asked to bid a tractor trailer and cab wrap, and I am trying to do some research to make sure I'm in the right range. I normally bill by the square-footage for material, and hourly for installation. I...

I think you're all right... I was too worried about the seam. I will go with the 30', three panel suggestion. Thanks to all...it's great to have some help thinking this through.
