  1. Roland VS-540i... to trash or not to trash

    Dropouts are consistent. Mostly in the M, some in the C. The Y is starting to get some drop out in the same area on the test print. No recent head strikes. I just changed both wipers before the issue started. No leaks. Cap station is original, never been changed. I think I will tinker with...
  2. Roland VS-540i... to trash or not to trash

    It's CMYKLmLcLk+cleaning. I have only ever used OEM Max2 inks in it. I agree it's a workhorse. I've used similar Rolands at previous shops. This one didn't really get pushed to its potential though, I think that's why it has taken 9+years to need a cap/head replacement.

  4. Roland VS-540i... to trash or not to trash

    We have a 9.5 year old VS-540i. It's never had service other than the normal cleanings and consumables. It's been a great printer, though it never really had enough print jobs come through to live up to its potential. In recent weeks, the nozzles have started to completely drop out in parts...
  5. Barbie!

    I actually hand cut it right along the print. Maybe that's the white edge of the foam.
  6. Barbie!

  7. Cut lines missing in Versa Works

    This usually happens to me when the artboard boundary is set too close to the cut contour line in the ai file.

  9. Frosted Window Film, or another option

    Hello, I'm looking for material recommendations here.... I have a client looking for a durable frosted window film that will be applied as one piece (no cut graphics) to door glass in an UNHEATED pool house. Here are their specifics: "Very opaque since it's for a bathroom and we need zero...
  10. Vinyl/Lam to withstand hospital-grade disinfectant

    So I'm working on junking up the inside walls of a mobile vet vehicle with print/cut graphics. The surfaces are mostly smooth fiberglass, smooth laminated particleboard and glass. The client is requesting that the material that I use be able to withstand regular spraying with the ready-to-use...
  11. Is an HP Latex Printer "Safe" in a Small, Unventilated Office Space?

    I would say a big "NO." It is not safe. I had the pleasure of working for a company that strived to take over all local sign business by buying up the other sign shops in town (like mine!). One of the acquisitions led to a lonely production manager and her HP latex, for which we only had a...
  12. Window perf on interior windows-which product works for this?

    Yes it's because they have lighting on both sides of the glass. You would probably have to go with a frosted vinyl to help diffuse the light and add any privacy.
  13. Best vinyl for university table decals?

    There are ultra high tacks available too... they may be a little better. Icon Substance 440LSE is one of them. Most vinyls are time/pressure sensitive; the longer they are on the table, the harder it is to peel them off in one piece and without residue. I also suggest laminating and putting...
  14. Cut Contour issue with PDF.

    Try the attached. Long time VersaWorks user here. I actually have version 5.51. I think the inability to see the contour cut has to do with transparencies in the file. Try saving your pdfs as Acrobat 4 (PDF1.3) and set your Overprint/Transparency Flattener to High Resolution in Advanced...

    Try Harbor Sales or Grimco if you want to pay 6x more.
  17. Handwritten Font ID

    Not familiar with this one... anyone have it on the tip of their head or off the top of their tongue?
  18. decals for coolers

    PC Signs in NC offers wholesale pricing on Moto (low energy plastic) vinyl. If feasible, maybe look into that?
