  1. Need replacement media roll holder/flanges for 3" cores, any suggestions?

    I'm talking about the expanding core "flange wheels" that press into the ends of a roll of inkjet vinyl to hold it up/off the media rollers. I finally broke one of the the OEM Roland ones that came with my printer, and I'm in need of some replacements. I'd prefer to not have to spend...
  2. Need Help Summa S2160T skewing on Y axis

    We have a Summa S2160T. We print groups of labels back to back. Nothing fancy just rectangles with rounded corners about 2 to 3 inches wide by about 15 to 16 inches long.

  9. Homemade Rolls Roller: Any suggestions

    I took an old Gerber Solara Ion X flatbed printer out of service. After robbing it of all useful parts I am making the flatbed into something similar to a rolls roller. I have the bed, bearings and rails from the 5'x10' printer. I still need an actual roller. I'm thinking maybe a roller from...

    All of a sudden, my xc540 keeps giving me the "pinchroller error, invalid right position". My service rep thinks that it is the cable that runs to the tool carriage. So we replaced it and it did not fix the problem.(and yes, we double checked that everything was connected back to the circuit...
  14. Laminator (Calling all Merchant Members) ?????

    I have an old Daige II Laminator. One of the roller skins has been damaged and is in need of replacement, but Daige told me they no longer sell a roller skin with a 2-inch ID, but rather 2-1/4"ID only. I'm wondering if any other models of any other laminators use a 2-inch ID and if anyone...
