I need that for a customer and they need it on stick-and-forget basis. No press, no heat gun :) we've ordered a hi tack ( orafol 1640HT) for a try On the net I see some people talk about "acetate silk" printable with very high adhesion to textile. But I dont find any manufacturers Is this...

Have a requirement for stick-on (no heat-transfer) labels for marking face masks. Does not have to be super durable like "washer-proof" since it is for one-two days usage only. But have to stick aggressively nevertheless since it is for school kids ... We print eco-solvent. Any ideas, please?

Hello I am trying to find good settings for perforated cut of the baking film (only the film, not the adhesive upper layer) of Siser ColorPrint Media. Using ZEC-3075 blade with the fin. I noticed that whatever settings I supply - the horizontal lines seem to be getting cut "more". For instance...

Ok. that was fast! I did the following : 1. Mark the job as PrintAndCut with Crop Marks selected 2. RIP 3. Right-click on the job and Save it as PRT file ( which is an HPGL/PJL text file ) 4. There I spotted a HUGE blob of *b34VNULLNULLNULLNULL 5. Removed ALL those lines 6. Print the file by...

Updates : InkCut does not support my SP-300V ... :( Increasing media feed speed ( thanks, zsa ! ) indeed improved it a little but still too slow ... And I am still trying to make it work with the manual adjustment Meanwhile, we cut all the a4s manually, the customer is happy and more orders...

Thanks, everyone for the great advice! Going to try it all out. I think I will start with woolly's manual alignment approach as it will give me something 'quick-and-dirty' and then will explore HPGL and InkCut options for something ready for the long run (as we do occasionally have similar jobs...

woolly, thanks ! perfcut accuracy - I can live with a couple of mm differences. What did you have in mind? Sounds you might have a workaround :) I will check if a full scan is enabled but the machine does not scan, it only feeds. slowly. Where can I read more info about tampering with the...

Hi I am using Roland VS and SP to print and cut contour and Roland GR for perf cutting. Due to a limitation of VW (and similar SW as much as I checked), I am looking for an Open Source alternative so I can try and code the behavior I need. The problem I have is like this. If I have a "Cut only"...

Hi woolly Thanks for the advice ... We are currently using the GR for perf cutting only. Having to replace the blade between each type of cutting really breaks the streamline of what we are trying to achieve. But will keep your advice in mind if can't find a faster solution. I just saw in VW6...

Hi We have a case where we need to run a large job of just rectangularly cut blank stickers. We use Roland VS for printing and kiss-cutting and Roland GR for perf cutting. The blank stickers we need to supply on A4 sized "pages". The plan was to Contour Cut those on VS but have the crop marks...

Hello Looking for a piece of workflow advice. I am using VersaWorks with a VS-300i and now with GR-420 as well connected to the same PC/VW. I have a proprietary SW which generates PDF files that I print (using nested jobs) and contour cut in VW with VS-300i. I plan to remove the printed and...

Thanks for tip ! We use 220V here but definitely will check that area just to make sure ... Any tips how to identify other possible culprits ? I got an IR termometer and will measure the real temp today. The printer reaches 40 degrees Celsius relatively fast and then it is stuck most of the time...

Hi We have just got a new Roland VS-300i in addition to our SP-300v. I noticed that just before the print starts, the machine takes a long time to heat up Really long time. For instance, when we come in at the morning, with the ambient temperature in the room of 24C it takes about 8 minutes to...

Hi We ar looking to improve our processes a little. Today we use Roland SP-300V to create stickers. Not once we are queried about orders that talk about final product be separate pages ( like X stickers on A4 pages ). So what we do today (if the order is small enough for us to take) and manually...

Thank you so much everybody ! Going to play a little with some matte vinyls and if does not work out will try other suggestions !

Hi all I have a customer who asks for vinyl stickers which can be written by pen on it. I guess it should be sort of uncoated .. but really uncoated... We use Roland sp-300v eco solvent ... If Orafol have something like that - it will be great cause we really love the local supplier here But...

Hi all Till now we used to make really small stickers ( 5x2 cm and smaller ). Now we have a customer who needs 10x10cm decals. Before taking the order I would like to understand how those should be applied properly. We print eco-solvent ink on Oracal 3461 white vinyl and the decals will be...
