"Zakk L, you might not understand how the warranties work. They do not come from Roland direct. Roland grants warranties through their local and national dealers. It is usual for customers to get their warranties from the dealer they brought their…"

Zakk L replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for input on extended warranty for Roland"Thanks for your input guys, but I think my question was misunderstood. I am not on the fence at all about whether or not to get an extended warranty. I am seeking input as to whether I should get one of the warranties from Roland or the one…"
John H. replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for input on extended warranty for Roland"I have the same story about the service aspect that Dennis mentioned, my warranty runs out in April I take very good care of the VS300 but I can barley do one job a day right now and there is a slight chance this is as good as it's gonna get, I…"
Dennis Dunning replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for input on extended warranty for Roland"We bought a Roland from Imprintables because of the tech who would be installing and servicing our machine. Not all techs are the same. As far as the extended warranty, it depends on how well you maintain your machine and what your risk…"
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for feedback on STS Inks"Another point to consider: Yes OEM inks are more expensive BUT they are quality controlled to garuntee the same gamut (output) color range every time. It is expensive to quality control inks like this and that cost is refelected in theprice we pay.…"
Dana Curtis replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for feedback on STS Inks"Bob's got a very good scientific explanation for it. We're also working on removing nickel from the ink pigment compounds. Finding pigments and supernatants that obey strict environmental regulations in Europe and the U.S. are forcing OEM…"
Bob McGinn replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for feedback on STS Inks"All inks not created equal....
Most white inks contain titanium dioxide as the pigment, as rutile and anatase in tetragonal crystalline form. However, growing concerns over the known toxicity of heavy metals have led to the replacement of many…"
Messiah023 replied to Zakk L's discussion Looking for feedback on STS Inks"I would stick with OEM.
I've heard the generics are watered down (don't know this first hand, just heard it).
Also, I've heard using non OEM can affect your warranty."
Zakk L posted a discussionLooking for feedback on STS Inks
Hi All,I am looking to see if anyone has any first-hand experience with STS inks. They claim to be 100% compatible where you do not have to flush the lines and can switch back and forth between their ink and OEM with no issue. We have always only used Roland OEM, but man, what a price difference. We have the CMYK+ Lc+Lm+Mt+W configuration, but would, of course only be looking at non-OEM for CMYK+ Lc+Lm portion. Are there other brands that are good or should be avoided like the plague? MAybe…See More

Dana Curtis replied to Zakk L's discussion Trying to get a good print with White + CMYK on clear film"To build on Irv's note: set a dry time in the printer controls tab of 15 minutes. Then after it runs down the timer, it will feed back to origin and you can run the second job. For a more opaque white, select overprint (also under printer…"

Zakk L replied to Zakk L's discussion Trying to get a good print with White + CMYK on clear film"Hi Irving,
As always, you are a wealth of good information. I thank you for that.
I did already try the unidirectional printing, but it does not seem to buy enough drying time (assuming, of course that I am correct about that being…"
irving donaldson replied to Zakk L's discussion Trying to get a good print with White + CMYK on clear film"-Your white needs to be aggressively agitated to give you consistency. You will have to rely on your circulation system to take care of what is already in the lines and on a 540 there is a lot in the lines. However, before the job starts shake the…"
