You certainly can 'nest' your files before bringing them into VW

Julie Szymanski replied to Julie Szymanski's discussion Bad Experience, Print, Laminate, Cut, Help Please"what window cant be resized? Sorry I dont understand
So I cant set the nested job in my software before transferring to versaworks?"
irving donaldson replied to Julie Szymanski's discussion Bad Experience, Print, Laminate, Cut, Help Please"That window cannot be resized - you will have to change your screen resolution or autohide - Japan is aware of the issue on this side of the ocean and we are still living with the problem and I started with Versaworks version 2 and change and at…"

I thought the 26 inch laminator would be ok as Ive only got the Roland BN-20 so my prints would not be…"

Dennis Dunning replied to Julie Szymanski's discussion Bad Experience, Print, Laminate, Cut, Help Please"Julie - We own a laminator and use it not only to apply overlaminates; but, to apply vinyl to coroplast and larger sign boards. It works very well.
Calendared vinyl tends to shrink over time leaving a glue line around the edges, which…"
irving donaldson replied to Julie Szymanski's discussion Bad Experience, Print, Laminate, Cut, Help Please"Well Julie - you are taking on a lot for any type of machine - not just your BN20. Laminators are not packaged with machines because they are not needed on all jobs and never by some. As for which vinyl needs lamination - all, some or none. That…"
