  1. Need help with Roland!!

    I don’t see how a company as big as Roland and who has been around as long as them can’t get it right. They newer the machine the worse quality gets as they try to cut costs and maximise profit. I’d be surprised if they are still around in 10 years time unless they change their business model...

  8. Need help with Roland!!

    We have a Roland........that was our first mistake. Roland Soljet Pro XR640 which prints well until yesterday when a printhead went down but as for contour cutting. not fit for purpose is probably best way to describe it. Roland tech advise that's the best they can cut which is terrible at...

    Ive thought about it but I don't know enough about the machine to attempt that repair myself. We dont use Roland at all we have an independent guy who does our repairs who is excellent but prices are obviously not cheap
  11. Is Mimaki Better Than Roland?

    We started our part time business back in 2014 with a Graphtec CE6000 cutter doing small decals and when my partner was made redundant I set her up with a Roland Soljet Pro4 XR640 printer cutter around 2018 and made it full time. Within 3 months needed various new parts under warranty including...
  12. Bare minimum to charge / ask during pandemic? Lowest price you would comfortably go down to??

How many hours does it have on it, they have a service life and...
