There is more to the successful operation of a ColorCamm printer than buying a printer and clicking on the print button, just like there is more to successful computer graphic design than simply buying a computer and graphic design software.
I also had daily cussing experience with ours too.
I don't think you read too many of these responses. The machine is well built, but it's the process of HOW is prints is why this is Roland's lemon. This drags the print head across the vinyl, so any speck or lint could cause a drop out and scratch the print head. Other than that glaring red flag, it's a good machine.
The ribbons are expensive and at one point, I think YOUR cost was $10 sq ft. or more for a full color print.
Oh and Ribbon snapping. Forgot about that gem. So it grabs the magenta and prints your print... say 3' of vinyl. Goes back to the beginning and then grabs yellow. Prints on 3' of yellow, Goes back to the beginining and prints cyan. then goes back and grabs black. Prints 5" of black and snaps. Thats the standard routine. Have you ever held your breath through an entire print?
ONCE we printed 4' full color graphic. Once. And that took 3 attempts. These things are good for SMALL contour cut decals.
Form your own opinion, but what are the chances that everyone responded to this thread had a lemon?
