"maybe change direction of printer or change angle of light on mark.
Reload media with cropmark over cutting strip on both sides
after measurement DO NOT get media width and see if that works"

irving donaldson replied to Rasmus Raaby's discussion Gradient problems - black looks grey"So that is issue number 1 and a major one - You actually should be getting blocks not a smooth gradient
Try the other palettes for better results"
irving donaldson replied to Christopher Becker's discussion Crop mark problem Align point3"OK so it reads the 1st 2 then fails -
Any direct light shining on the mark?
The sensor is under the cut carriage, is it clean and no stray vinyl covering part?
Before you started did you do a sheet cut and left media at the front sensor and not roll…"
irving donaldson replied to Rasmus Raaby's discussion Gradient problems - black looks grey"If you talking dual, great - it handles gradients better.
Do some test with Roland Color Library. RGB, and Pantone
Gradients have always been an issue with Roland and Dual makes a good attempt of smoothing them out."
irving donaldson replied to Rasmus Raaby's discussion Gradient problems - black looks grey"Post your nozzle check
Using AI - which palette
Which VW are you using
Which black are you using"
irving donaldson replied to Paul Nadeau's discussion missing images"Are you using AI? If sent to as EPS vector and not as a jpg in an EPS, then you can make your changes and do a save as. Do not do any embedding and then next what are your color settings in VW and do you have your spot color boxes checked.
Which…"
irving donaldson replied to Paul Nadeau's discussion Track marks and stray cyan"OK so your calibration is off
The deflecting black may never recover and causing your overspray..
You will get banding when using the black and some color shifts
The crossing over colors in the other channels - clean your encoder with alcohol
How…"
irving donaldson replied to Stephen's discussion Print slurring over long sheet"The V model uses Roland's early technology to traverse the cut assembly, which drags along the printhead.
The steps to correct your issue, is to check cable tension; then clean the encoder strip with alcohol. Hearing the problem the first…"
irving donaldson replied to Paul Nadeau's discussion Track marks and stray cyan"So Paul you have to help with your post if you are going to get some specific help and not guesses. You figured out how to post pictures, but missing the most important one - the nozzle test.
Without the that test no telling if it is nozzles…"
irving donaldson replied to Ron's discussion BN-20 Bad Nozzle Check"Do a 48 hour head soak, follow by a powerful cleaning, follow by a nozzle test - post that one test.
I will either point out your head strike or say you have a chance to recover the head. Too many missing consecutively up and down or across or both…"
irving donaldson replied to Ron's discussion BN-20 Bad Nozzle Check"All great questions, so here is the skinny
BN20 with white or metallic - replace with Cleaning cartridge or you will be replacing the special color every 6 months just because of the ink used in cleaning - cheaper to replace cleaning cartridge
ALSO,…"
irving donaldson replied to Ron's discussion BN-20 Bad Nozzle Check"Does not look like a test pattern from a +W machine
REplace white with CL cartridge if not using white
Show one test pattern not a bunch - hard to see what is going on
Based on what I can tell, you had a head strike when head was returning home,…"
irving donaldson replied to Mike Bertrand's discussion Cross-State Move with BN-20"The procedure will walk you through it."
irving donaldson replied to j koji's discussion refurbish roland printer"Depends on what is wrong with your printer. Does it needs heads, boards, a good tune up. You are off the mainland so conceivably every part would have to be there for possible replacement or then it becomes multiple trips and that would be cost…"
irving donaldson replied to Mike Bertrand's discussion Cross-State Move with BN-20"Pump up - removes all the ink from the machine. Then you can take forever to fill ink, to get it going again. The dummy cartridges is for when you are re-inking. Can't remember what locks the BN, but you can use a piece of foam or cardboard to…"
irving donaldson replied to Mark Roberts's discussion BN-20 Utility Not Seeing Printer - Win 10"That is the default. Go to the printer tab and do the add a printer then select USB, verify and see if it picks it up"

Connecting VersaWorks to a VersaCAMM
Posted on April 29, 2015 at 3:35pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Recently, Inobu and I had a very interesting conversation offline about an online topic of connectivity. He was contradicting my many years of connecting Versaworks to VersaCAMMS. Inobu were using terms like Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) and I was like WTH. Life needs to be simple and the more time I have showing and not connecting is the best for me. I found no problem in setting a static IP address on the network card, and making VWs and the VC have the same address on…
