Roland SolJet Pro4 XR-640 - modeling on Pearl 13oz Gloss Banner

[TorturdChaos]

I have used Pearl 13oz Gloss Banner on our SP-540v for years, using the PVC Baner (SPVCB), and it has always printed great. Just got a Roland SolJet Pro4 XR-640, and no updated profle for SPVCB! Trying to print the Pearl banner, but I'm getting a lot of modeling, most notable in solid colors. I have tried Generic Banner 1 & 2, Light-weight Banner Vinyl, and even played with Calandered Vinyl, but they all print with modeling very noticeable in solid colors.

Any ideas?

I've honestly never found a gloss banner stock or profile that prints without that happening on our XC-540.

That being said... I just discovered the "BOSB" (block out scrim banner?) profile the other day and it prints better on matte banner than any other profile.

Might be worth a shot! Hope you find one that works for ya.

Sadly I'm not seeing BOSB in my media profiles. Did you have to download it form somewhere?

Thanks

we have always used LBV. Using it on the XR now with no issues.

LBV2? I tried that and it printed ok. Did you guys play with the heater settings at all? I set mine to default media settings.

sounds like you need to do a versa works update for the profile update. we use GBV- glossy banner vinyl and it works ok. i have also used the glossy or matte calendered vinyl profiles those both work ok on banner material. just make sure you flip the print head switch to raise it so you don't get head strikes.
