irving donaldson replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Material Feed Is Off"An encoder strip will cause vertical lines running through ur print off to one side. To clean if necessary use alcohol. Do not use cleaning solution on that particular part as it will erase the encoding from the strip - not good at all. Encoding…"

DanielTF3 replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Material Feed Is Off"You can only blame yourself for believing that the media will be perfectly straight in a large roll of media you ordered. Some will come utterly in a poor condition due to many factors. Our solution to media moving left or right was to keep the…"
irving donaldson replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Material Feed Is Off"SP ?? v - sounds like the model with the cable. the cable adjust is done after the left side is removed. The cable has to be under specific tension and does loosen over time. There is a gauge that is required to set it again to the proper tension.…"

Jim Lauer replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Material Feed Is Off"It is a continuous print cut job. We had a tech look at it last year they couldn't find anything wrong, but it has never been resolved, just gotten worse lately to where I have been had cutting what I can because it is just not…"
Butch replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Material Feed Is Off"Jim, is this happening in a continuous print cut job or a print, laminate cut job ? Have you done an env match and print cut calibration lately ? Does your machine have a cable or belt drive ? I know the cable tension can affect cut performance on…"

Hi all,We seem to be having an issue with the material feeding through our SP540 v. IN a 18" print we can be off as much as 1/4" left or right when cutting. I can actually watch the print being done and see the material move as it is fed through.I have checked the pinch rollers, they are installed correctly and not cracked. Our dealer tech said something about a rail adjustment. Has anyone ever heard about anything like this or what to do to fix it?Thanks,JimSee More

solutions clear on white twill
"Thanks Kathy,
I sent a message to Imprintables to make sure there is no PVC in the material. That is what, many laser owners, say is bad for the machines.
Love the Austin Powers reference too."
Jim Lauer commented on Kathy MacMannis's photosolutions clear on white twill
"How did you cut the twil, with a plotter or laser? I have a laser and this would be awesome to try on that, I would be concerned with the PVC in the material affecting the laser optics though."
Jim Lauer replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"I finally got the red issue solved. I went back to FlexiSign to do it rather than working in CorelDraw (I am sure it an export setting in Corel, just not sure). If i use the Roland Colors in Flexi, apply a cut line on it and export as an…"

Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Well said Ken! Nothing wrong going with CMYK only if it works for you. I say it a lot but sometime sit gets lost in the shuffle - there is no 100% only correct way to do things. Let that sit for a second....... wait for it...... yes - now you all…"
Ken Wagner replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Yes I come from a offset printing background and use CMYK for pretty much all my work. Since I don't have one of those fancy new printers with more than CMYK ink I think my methods should work okay. Will CMYK have the wider color…"
CYW replied to Jim Lauer's discussion Problem With Bright Red On Color Print"Smile
Irv taught me well
I avoid CMYK like the darn plague!
Coming from a screenprinting background, it was a non-issue for me.
Actually I was grateful that I didn't need to switch gears
I guess the people who did a lot of offset…"
