Looking for a preconfigured database structure, hopefully for FileMaker Pro that keeps track of inventory sold, primarily t-shirts where we can enter for example (40-M, 80-L, 50-XL, 30-XXL - Style #300) just printed into inventory and as this particular style is being sold, the relational...

Okay...was going to blow a wad on a great laminator but for the little use I have for it, decided to try a 55" Daige 4 and just set it up today. My question is this: After running the starter board through to thread the rollers, cut off the laminate behind the rollers and pull the material...

Buying a Seal 62 Ultra laminator and was wondering if there's any issues using reverse wound laminate on this unit such as Oracal? The company itself could not give me a straight answer.

So....I write a post here that I'd like to see some samples from this machine. Believe it or not....the next day, via overnight letter samples show up from Signwarehouse. Whew....those boys are trolling these boards! Anyhow...I must say the output looks great for a cmyk only printer. I was...

So, I'd like to add a cutter to speed up things....I'm using an XC-540 for printing. Here's the thing....I primarily do small decals and bring 1 single EPS file of the decal into Versaworks then specify how many decals I need, such as 100 decals, 10 across by 10 rows deep within Versaworks...

Just wondering what the general consensus is on the head height setting when printing reflective material such as 3M 680, etc. I've been running the heads at high after getting a few "skim marks" on the material from it occasionally buckling up a bit. Although the print quality, especially on...

Okay...I have this nice XC-540 however also using it as the cutter too is taking WAY TOO LONG due to the nature of my jobs (small decals). I figure I could almost double production if I can cut while the printer is printing other jobs, so, the need for an external cutter? Anyhow, since I'm...

This might sound like a stupid question but here goes..............Since I do primarily small reflective decals with my XC-540....(Scotchlite 680 & 3200)....I was wondering if all the intricate cutting involved on thousands and thousands of decals on heavy material like this will prematurely...

I have a new XC-540.....only half the original ink has been exhausted. Anyhow, I'm getting somewhat erratic "black specks" along the left edge of my vinyl....only within 1.5 inch or so from the left edge all of a sudden. The size of the specks are about 1 - 2 mm and have kind of a "spit" look...

Aside from my joys of cutting issues, does anyone else experience the following on an XC-540 or other Roland printer............ I'm loading the first job of the day or have changed rolls or have to run set-up again. Now, I go to VersaWorks and send a job. The printer now decides to feed...

Recently bought an XC-540 primarily to do small decals with, mostly 2" and 4". Prints just fine until I get to the cutting part where its either high, to the side, low, or all three and just totally screwed up! Happens with all materials but sometimes worse with reflective which I use mostly...

Newbie here looking for some general guidelines. I'll be printing & cutting mostly 2"-4"-6" decals on my XC-540 using Scotchlite 3200 & 680. With a 60 degree blade installed, I'd be interested in some general advice: Best cutting speed. Best blade offset setting. Ideal blade depth...

I just noticed the following website http://www.masterwarehouse.com sells Roland "compatible blades" extremely cheap. Example....pack of three 45 degree $17.99....pack of three 60 degree $26.99. Is anyone using these blades? Are they compatible with an XC-540? Geez, 60 degree blades from my...

I have a customer that must have his decals drilled so they can be stocked on pegboard hooks for display at stores, etc. Anyhow, aside from buying a paper drill at $1,000 for this one customer....has anyone had any success or experience with running a paper drill bit in a standard drill press? I...

Was breaking in my new 540-XC and am noticing "grit pattern track marks" on the vinyl where the pinch rollers make contact with the vinyl. Is this normal? I can actually see fairly pronounced tracks embossed with the pattern from the lower grit rollers on the vinyl.

Any opinions on this laminator and the company that sells it???: http://www.masterwarehouse.com/default2.html?gclid=CKeO-M_BtosCFScNZwodnkyEyg Its pretty cheap and "looks" better than a Daige as I need to save some money for now after just dropping a ton of cash on a new Roland 540. What's...

Opening a contract output shop with 2 SolJet III's and need some advice on cold laminators The place I'm dealing with sells Daige Quikmount 4 machines and I was thinking about buyung a 65" model however to me these look kinda "shaky". I absolutely need a machine that can do a good job without...

Screenprinter here about to buy a vinyl printer/cutter and am totally new to the sign/decal etc. business. Anyhow, was looking at the Versacamm and was about to buy one until I checked out the SolJet Pro III XC-540. I'll basically be using this initially to do stock and custom decals. Am I...
