I don't hate paint, I just overlay it.
Hello everyone. I have a Roland VP540 and I have a big problem when I try to cut the material. Material starts sliding to the left (away from the control panel) even If i try to cut a 5' material! I don't have any problem with prints; I can easily print out 30-40' without reloading the material. But when it comes to print - laminate - cut... forget it!
Of course every time I Print I always make sure the material is nice and tight and pull on the middle and wiggle the material left and right to make sure its straight. Then I do a sheet cut and after that I print then cold laminate it. After that I put the material back to the machine. I align the material up with the plastic strip using the sheet cut straight line. Feed the material forward until the black dots are on top of the plastic strip and do a base point. But material starts skewing like CRAZY as soon as the machine start looking for the dots on the back.
1) I cleaned the machine. Front and back. To make sure there are no sticky dirt anywhere on the metal parts.
2) Checked the pinch rollers on the outside to make sure the markings are on the outside. Also the rubber was secured to the base of the pinch roller, no cracks either.
3) Spoke to Roland and they advised to get new ones because the rubber tends to warp if I leave the lever down all the time.
So actually I installed brand new pinch rollers with the little markings facing out. NO HELP! Still skewing.
4) I did both feed and scan calibration but it didn't help.
5) I cleaned the metal strip using the roland cleaning liquid ( Is that strip is the one with the holes in every two inches???)
6) I tried only 2 but also 3 and 4 pinch rollers! no help.
7) Environmental setting enabled, disabled; doesn't matter
8) The pinch rollers are always on laminated material. All pinch rollers are rolling on the same thickness-laminated material.
When the printer finds the the back dots and it comes back for the first/front dot the material does skewing back to the right directions. But eventually all the back and forth rolling will make the material skew to the left soo much the the right pinch roller will eventually not hold the material anymore.
