Try giving this a shot. You have to import it into Corel, then ungroup it."
Kevin Hirata replied to Constantine's discussion Empty ink cartridges"Constantine,
Not sure whether they are still offering this, but Ordway Sign was offering $2.50 credit towards the purchase of one new Roland ink cartridge for each empty 220cc cartridge returned. For 440cc cartridges it was $5.00. $1.00…"

I think I have a different setup up from yours - see my response to Kathy below.
I have problems with banners too. Like you, I have to roll out a few feet of material to avoid head strikes. I normally babysit the job,…"

Kevin Hirata replied to Tim Doring's discussion media not feeding stright"Kathy, I have that problem with banner material, but not sign or apparel vinyl.

Kevin Hirata replied to Tim Doring's discussion media not feeding stright"Hi Tim,
FWIW, here's the process we go through when loading a roll.
Before loading the roll of vinyl onto the machine, make sure the vinyl is tightly wound and the edges are even. Place the roll on the rollers and feed the vinyl through…"

I too own an SP300, and anything over 28" in height I contract out to Colorado Timberline. I just did a 3' x 6' full color banner, fully hemmed and grommeted. I paid $35.14, including shipping. I'm not…"

If there's a screen printer in your area perhaps they can screen print your logo using a general purpose, or POP ink."
Kevin Hirata replied to CYW's discussion Printable Silver"Thanks LD. Good to know about cutting though the bleed. Noticed their website recommends allowing a 1/4" border. I'll start fussing with it later this afternoon. Thanks for all your help."
Kevin Hirata replied to CYW's discussion Printable Silver"Hi Lady Di,
I'm going to be printing a bunch of decals using this RTape VinylEfx Brushed Silver vinyl. Which Versacamm model do you have? I guess I'll start by using the GG/GSPVC profile and go from there.
Kevin."

- Thanks Kevin! We are very excited to add the Versacamm to our embroidery/screen print business. We are purchasing it either today through a local dealer or on Monday through Imprintables.

- Kevin,
Thanks - I was thinking about the cut first idea... I will give it a try.
Please tell me more about the crop marks feature - is this in VersaWorks? Is there a video that covers this?

- Hi,
I am seriously considering a Versacamm. I am unsure on which model to purchase. I'm leaning toward a VP300i.
I have read several of the comments on this site and have reviewed Roland's site as well.
Questions:
optional media take-up system - Is this used often. What is the approx. cost?
There are six different colors of ink available from Imprintables, but it looks like only four colors of ink are used in the machine. Please explain.
From one of the posts, the adjustable head is only available on the 540. What is the adjustable head used for and how often? Is it worth the extra $?
I have been watching the webinars that greatgarmentgraphics host. They have mentioned screen print transfers from Transfer Express. Can these screen print transfers be printed on a versacamm?
After reviewing several of the photos, the printed vinyl appears very shiny. Which materials could be used that are not shiny?
Thanks,
Marsha

- Hi Kevin,
I have some questions... First, I am missing a step... I want to print and cut on the ink using Solutions Metallic. After I print, I need to let the ink dry for 4 - 6 hours before cut. The VersaCAMM has a delay option for up to 60 minutes, so that's not going to work. Do I need to use registration marks? If so, how do I do this? I am using Illustrator CS4 and VersaWorks.
All the videos I have seen, skip this step. Is there a video showing the whole process?
Thank you,
JD
