Something I've just discovered is that there seems to be an issue with the locking mechanism for the print head because during the cut phase the print head is coming out along with it. I've removed and examined the locking mechanism but I don't see any issues and when manually sliding it right...

Hey everyone! Hoping for some insight as my SG540 started giving me issues in the cut phase of jobs. All of the cut paths are coming out very wavy, primarily towards the end of the cut path. I've attached a photo of a test cut for example. I spoke with my local tech and they said that it was...

Is there any way to adjust the force of the grit roller? Sometimes when printing thicker materials, the rollers are pressing so firmly that its causing the edges of the material to ripple and raise up, resulting in head strikes.

Yeah so I had one of my assistants operating that on her PC. She thought she installed it but apparently didn't lol. However! The installation guides that I read all skipped the point of making sure the TR1 are still inserted at the time the firmware is sent over to the printer, which will...

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of switching over to TR2 inks, but I've hit a snag. I downloaded the new firmware and the newest Versaworks 6, but my printer is still showing the old 2.5 firmware and isn't recognizing the new inks. I had been running VW Dual before this on the TR1 inks. Is...

I figured this might be the case. My local retailer for sign and print products told me it would be fine to do as long as I only score the material and then manually break away the magnets. It has actually been working pretty well up until yesterday. I'm going to try the process on some .020...

Hey everyone, hoping for some insight here. I'm running a Roland SG540 and attempting to print and cut some .030 magnetic on a 24" wide roll. I'm having a few issues after doing my own R&D to see what the best method is. I'm using a 60 degree blade, cut speed 5cm/s. Issues I'm experiencing...

Problem solved!!! I lowered the head height, set the print to uni-directional and it's printing perfectly now. Thanks for the help!

Yes height is set to high

Thanks for the info! I run a manual clean on it once a week. Wipers were replaced a few weeks ago. I'll check my feed calibration and see if that helps the banding. What can I do about the Cyan deflecting?

Thanks, I'll try your suggestions. For the heat settings, do you think my current heat is too low or too high?

Sorry yeah here's a couple nozzle tests

I'm running a Roland SG-540 on various types of media, using various profiles, but all of my prints come out grainy. I just printed some decals on Arlon to show as an example. Very grainy and and some banding as well. I checked my calibrations and everything seems fine. Any ideas why this is...

How durable is a liquid laminate when used on a piece with multiple cuts? The storage shed door I'm installing the vinyl on has many 3" horizontal panels that will require a lot of splitting and sinking. I just want to make sure the lam won't flake off with all of these cuts. After...

I'm kinda interested in trying this out. Is there a good tutorial video you know of? Also, what solution is used for a wet lam process?

Do you have any recommendations on what type of spray and where I can purchase it? Thanks!

Awesome thanks! I'll check out the one on Amazon

Yeah I kinda figured that. I edited my post to also ask about lamination method alternatives to a machine. Any ideas?

Hey peeps. I just got my first vinyl job and I'm wondering how necessary it will be to laminate the material. I'm installing gloss adhesive vinyl to an outdoor storage shed door 8'x8'. Do I need to laminate this? Also, what material should I use if I do/don't need to laminate? Assuming I do...

Hey everyone! Rookie question here. I recently started using a Roland SG-540 to print various materials, but primarily vinyl heat seal transfers for garments. I haven't had any issues with it until today when the Roland Satin heat seal material started bunching up at the rollers at each end...
