Print test showing cyan issues

I'm working with a Roland Versacamm VS-540i and I'm not sure what needs to be done with this issue. We have some cyan stripe banding at the beginning of solid prints of color but after an inch or two it goes away. Do I need to perform a head soak?Please help! Thank you!See More

Loading vinyl-set length

When I load new vinyl into the printer and lower the pinch rollers there is a new-ish dialog that comes up on the printer screen after the print carriage assembly has done its usual thing (scanning from right to left) while setting up to print. I went into the media settings and apparently created a new media setting for each time the printer is loaded with vinyl and the pinch rollers are lowered into place.How do I reset the media defaults to NOT ask for media length. I have to manually back…See More

Marilee replied to Rasmus Raaby's discussion Gradient problems - black looks grey

"The issue with your greyish black is the fact that when you have a color (red for example) and transition it to black the color values are not consistent. For example if your red is 0,100,93,0 and the black is 0,0,0,100 the black will appear this…"

"I'm not printing with VW any longer, I am printing in ONYX. VW cant handle the transparencies and color matching so we switched to a professional RIP. "I have a Versacamm vs-540i running ONYX 12 and printing on 3M IJ35c-10 (I love…"

Need a larger gap when sheet cutting

I've recently made the switch to ONYX 12 and I've noticed the media is not advancing forward when pressing sheet cut as when I was printing in VW. There was a noticeable difference of about 1" at the end of my prints. My workaround is advancing the media forward before sheet cutting. This extra space at the end of the prints are for taping the sheets of laminate before my production guys send this through our laminator. We print and laminate MOST of our vinyl.Is there a function that I'm not…See More
