First, thank you to everyone in this forum who have helped me along my journey getting 2 old sp-540i through the last 2 years and in turn building my business. We are now fortunate enough to be able to acquire 2 brand new VG3 printers and due to arrive in the next 30 days or so. I know these...

Hey there, I had to change the blade in my summa s2 t160 and I thought I had it tuned in a cutting well, now it is leavings what I would call vinyl shavings in the cut and not cutting corners crisp, I used a clean cut 60 degree blade cutting oracal 651, i have never had this issue before on this...

Hello, I have 2 old Roland sp-540i printers, been working with them for about 2 years while getting our business off the ground, they are built like tanks and just keep going and are easy to work on when something does go wrong. We are moving to a larger space and looking to upgrade. Should...

Hello, I have 2 old Roland sp-540i that we have been running for a couple of years, they are like tanks and just keep going. Business has been good and we need to move to a larger space, my question is we have always had these in a climate-controlled space with AC. (we are in Las Vegas NV, so...

I have read a few threads, mostly older ones, about replacing a linear (L) bearing on Roland printers. The L bearing on the Cutter module is bad, it runs 4-8ish hours and then needs to be lubed up again, makes a grinding/train track click-clack sound when running to the left. No problems and...

I had a customer ask If we could make a magnetic sign(s) for them. On Fellers looks like several printable magnetic vinyls are available by the roll My questions are: can I do this with my roland sp540i? seems like since everything is metal it would have issues sticking? Or could it hard the...

I am messing around with goSign and trying to figure out how to cut multiple small jobs at once. We have been using vinylmaster with our other cutter (titan stepper) and we are able to load all the different files, sizes, quantities for a single color job and it will auto nest them to cut as...

I am looking to upgrade my Titan stepper 24" cutter, was looking at new Graphtec CE7000 and then found out about Summa, I was first looking at a new s1 d75 but came across a local seller with a 4 year old s75 T series, They are asking $3000, seems about half of a new one. With tax, a stand and...

Roland SP-540i, Jetbest bulk ink system, printing mainly 3651M, dx4 heads replaced in July 2020, OEM dampers, wipers, captops being used as well I started having this weird color banding at the start of select prints, which seems to affect Yellow, Magenta, and Dark Blue the most. Green, red...

6 months in now with my used Roland sp-540i and just looking for some recommendations on routine maintenance and part replacement (yes I know it has to do a lot with how much is being printed) etc but looking for some ballpark generalities. I am printing about 400+ ft of vinyl a month (54")...

Using CorelDRAW2020 Versaworks 6.8 (now) started with 6.71 last night but updated hoping that would fix this So something weird started happening last night, when I create a new EPS file with the cut contour line (as I have done hundreds of times...maybe more) the cut line doesnt show up in...

I just installed a take up reel system as jobs have started to get larger than 30-40" in size, ran my first long run of about 12' of orajet 3651G, printed on Roland sp-540i, using the oracal orajet 3651G profile in versaworks 6, using jetbest ink ecosol bulk system. When it "unwound" itself...

I have a roland SP540i, using orajet 3651G and liquicolor inks. I am using the oracal 651G profile in versaworks and the MAXimpact color profile I am having an issue when I print and cut decals for cell phones that the ink rubs off the decal in a few days of use. I know I can laminate and...

New to this a few months now, learning a lot but have a weird thing happening, where it seems that some prints have a magenta line showing up around them, not all the way around but part of it or the edges of some prints don't look crisp. I have done the bi directional detail adjustment and...

New to large format/solvent printing. I have a Roland SP540i running Liquecolor inks in a 440ml cartridge printing on Oracal 3651 gloss I read some posts and adjusted print temp to 108 and dry temp to 110 Lighter colors seem to come out grainy, darker seem ok if I print at high quality, also...

First Post, Newbie Just acquired my first roland printer/cutter SP-540i; used; the previous owner had replaced pump, heads, dampers, captops etc as he was planning to put It into long term storage but ended up selling it. During the initial setup, no ink would flow to the print heads or...
