  1. Roland VG to VG2 Firmware removes service mode, end user access deleted??

    Any follow up on this? I own a VG540 and VG540i and have been watching this thread.
  2. From My Experience, Stay Away From Roland's New Truvis Machines.

    That is my biggest fear, is Roland covering the head replacement at least? This is my only printer and downtime like that would be detrimental to my business. I plan on getting a second machine but with the issues I have been having Im holding off on purchasing a twin to this one. I have tried...
  3. From My Experience, Stay Away From Roland's New Truvis Machines.

    I haven't been extremely impressed with my VG-540. I have terrible cut accuracy.... I'm currently cutting at +.25mm scan after starting at 0.0. Have had 2 errors today causing a reboot/cleaning cycle that wastes a ton of ink. I have updated the firmware to the new 2.2 and ran countless test...

  5. Question Thinking About Purchasing The Island Clean Air Duster 2000

    I talked with AllerAir today and narrowed down the options. Does anyone on here have one of their systems? I haven't found much information on the AllerAir unit online or anyone who has one. I listed the two im between below. Clean Island Air Duster 2000 $5.5k Shipped plus free first filter...
  6. Question Thinking About Purchasing The Island Clean Air Duster 2000

    Sounds good. I wanted to make sure there isn't another product out there that's similar/better before I spend 6k on a unit.
  7. Is this normal? Pic

    The Tech re calibrated things back to 0.0 and it has helped - however to get it back to cutting perfectly I have to turn it off/on and doing this constantly causes it to run a cleaning cycle...... I'm dumping a bottle of ink per week now.
  8. Question Thinking About Purchasing The Island Clean Air Duster 2000

    Hello! I have a Roland VG 540 and need to make sure the fume are handled appropriately as I'm currently using the Roland in my home. If anyone has experience with these units it would be great to hear as I only found a little information online. Thanks!
  9. Roland VG-640 TrueVis - Eats Ink like no other

    My VG540 goes through a cleaning cycle every time its turned on and that drives me nuts because I have to reboot after every error. I have been getting 2-3 feed/scan errors a day. Also it randomly will pause between jobs and start a cleaning cycle. This could be normal, but it's annoying to me.
  10. VG540 Cutting problems. The printer heads are not staying in the capping area

    Have you had any issues with alignment? I can't get mine to stay aligned for more than 12" of media.... And I haven't had this happen to me. I have had 6 motor errors and when I called the Techs they said this has been an issue with these.
  11. Is this normal? Pic

    Still having issues today. I reloaded the roll and everything... Called for a tech and they can't be here till 1/26.
  12. Is this normal? Pic

    Vg540, 4 weeks old. I calibrate to have perfect cuts then print 5 6x8 sheets across twice. And now look at how the print test looks. What am I doing wrong? I have tried a new roll of Orajet 3621, reloaded, with only 2 pinch rollers, 4 rollers, changed temps and I can't figure out why after...
  13. Pinch roller is tracking red ink all over print

    I have went back to just the outside pinch rollers. And now im back to terrible cutting accuracy on a 5" file. I'm seriously OVER this VG-540. On a side note it keeps throwing Feed Motor Errors too.
  14. Pinch roller is tracking red ink all over print

    VG540 Orajet 3621 Eco-Sol Roland Truvis ink
  15. Pinch roller is tracking red ink all over print

    I'm trying to print/cut some decals and where the rollers hit the red its picking it up and transferring the ink up/down the print. Its only the red ink for some reason. Any ideas? I have my heat all the way up
  16. Help me understand Flexi PM PerfCut Please

    Have you been able to separate the Contour cut and perf cuts across multiple jobs with Flexi?
  17. Is there a way to set Base Point to stay for all jobs

    The Roland Tech advised not to use the "Center on Media" option in VW. This has solved the accuracy issues I was having and has presented a new one with my perf cuts. If I don't have 4-5" from the pinch roller to the first perf cut the media rips and jambs up the machine. If I move the base...
  18. Is there a way to set Base Point to stay for all jobs

    I have been successful at solving my print/cut issues by setting a Base point further in on my media than default. Is there a way to keep a base point on the VG540 without having to set it manually before each job?
  19. Loading tips?

    Perfect. Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just have to get my print/cuts to be more accurate and im in business.
  20. Loading tips?

    This may sounds odd - are there any tips on loading a roll of vinyl on the machine to where it feeds straight and true? VG540 with 54" media.
