I have a Roland Soljet SR640. We bought it new last year and I have had an intermittant, inconsistent problem with cutting material after laminating using the crop marks in versaworks. 9 times out of 10 jobs would come out fine- the 10th would be WAYYYY off in the scan direction, and i would just have to keep running it until it decided to cut it right. No ties to any environmental factors, settings, anything that i could pinpoint, not affected by running the print-cut calibrations, as the cuts are either right on or wayyy off.
I've had roland maintenance out several times with no clue what to replace, until the tech casually mentioned that I could try left-justifying the print instead of checking the box to "center on the media" in VW, as it was known to give more consistent results. Tried it, ran the problematic jobs again, and they cut fine.
Throwing this out there in case anyone is having a similar issue. I had never heard that centering or not centering could affect the cut output in any way, and i have been operating roland machines for about 7 years. So far it seems to be a solution in my extremely frustrating and long-running problem.
