  1. Need Help SP300i Having trouble Cutting Small Letters

    Good morning everyone, Just recently, I've developed a problem with my Versacamm SP 300i. Any san serif or fonts with straight edges cut sloppily when small in size on my printer. I do not seem to have the same problem when the design is about 10" or larger. The machine used to cut small...
  2. Need Help How many profiles do you really need?

    Good Morning, Do you use a different profile for each type of media you print on? Do you have any across-the-board profile types you recommend for optimal printing? Could different profiles be the answer to color specific banding? Have you found that generic (or random) profiles deliver...

  5. Need Help How do I replace the encoder strip? XC-540

    I'm not very comfortable performing maintenance on the machine outside what's in the user manual. We're in a rural community 5 hours from the nearest distributor, so having a tech come help with stuff is too expensive. Does anybody have a link to a ho- to video for changing an encoder strip? Or...
  6. OK to swap TrueVis cartridges in&out to avoid running out when you're not there to change it

    My favorite part about the roland truevis vg-540, as an upgrade from the older models, is the TU2 setting. I'll print signs and vehicle wraps all day on the regular roll setting, then at the end of the day, set up a bunch of product labels (that have small text and print slower on a high quality...

    Been having some banding issues on the Roland TrueVis Vg-540. Today when calibrating the machine, the correct setting was a moving target. it was set to ten, which had a little overlap.

  8. Is newer Roland TrueVis VG-540 inferior to older model XC-540?

    About 2 years ago i was hired and the company bought a truevis vg-540 to replace the soljet xc-540 as our primary machine. The soljet is about ten years old and has issues now, but the way the boss tells it, this machine has been incredibly reliable and easy to use getting great results with...

    I’ve been having some issues with the heads on my sp300v, tried cleaning them but m/y head had nothing coming through and the blue was 95% clear and the black was about 40% on a test print. Decided to just buy 2 new heads with new dampers and cap tops (I could’ve cried after the deceiving...

    We are relocating and downsizing our print shop - and have a HP Latex 360 for sale. We also have many many rolls of wide format print material and a custom rack that we can negotiate in purchase.

    Hi All, forgive my cluelessness here... I just bought my first solvent printer, an old SP540v and think I made a big mistake in taking out the carts while transporting it home on a crazy-hot day a week back.

    Hi All, I've been appreciatively trolling here for a while and have been grateful for all the discussions. I'm an artist and have been printing for myself and others for years and use Epson 98/7800 printers since they're workhorse printers I can self-service.. Anyway, I'd been wanting to get...

    Hello friends... I am using my Roland XR-640 eco-solvent printer to produce vehicle graphics printed on Avery 1105 media. When I print full color we get excellent prints, but I am trying to print a black and white wrap and most of my prints are getting horrible banding, only in black. I am...

    This print and cut machine is giving me the headaches... I can’t seem to find any color profile anywhere. When searching both Roland and SAi library there’s no match for my setup.
