Roland LG 640 Initial Sticker Tests

[@ajvaldez]

Amazing, I have been trying to get a loan to buy one of these, amazing to see you guys got like 4 lol love to see it!

[@stickerbrosfactory]

You should! They are insanely bad ass!

[@organdonor1962]

you can have the printer set to use white first so you can do single pass but it must be done prior to Ink up. We just had ours installed. I was some ink line moves and software.

[@Zoli_ExhibitPrinting]

Thanks for posting. I run a hp latex 700w, and it prints the ink wet on wet, so it doesn’t pull the media back at any point. Very slow but registration isn’t a problem. But with that process you could never do spot varnish. I was surprised when you said it dose all the white and the then the cmky. All roll printed have pretty bad issues with tension from take up reels stretching media, so this sounds like it was set up to fail. With the gloss I think I saw it goes back and forth incrementally, not all at once? That seems like a better approach for the white layer. I’m off to a print show tomorrow, hopefully there will be one and I can ask questions.

Hey bud! I just got this printer, I’m curious what’s your cut force settings and perf cut configurations for holographic and 6mil vinyls?

[@catbirdTV]

THIS IS IT!!!!!!!

[@stickerbrosfactory]

It’s either this or that

[@catbirdTV]

@@stickerbrosfactory Dan will know

[@seanmoore8861]

Where do you get those holo sheets from? thanks for the information on the pull back when printing the white🤝

[@stickerbrosfactory]

Big Fish Digital is who we currently get our hologrpahic from! Really good stuff

[@DesignRobot_co]

Can you laminate the prints? Is this UV or eco? Do you have white on clear examples?

[@stickerbrosfactory]

Hey man - you can laminate the prints and we always do currently. The ink is outdoor rated being UV. But it still doesnt make the holographic vinyl anymore UV rated outdoors for more than a year with out lamination. This printer shown is UV printer. We also have the VG3 Eco Solvents. I will post a video with white on clear samples! Thanks for watching

[@travisknight6437]

Do you offer training classes I just purchased the LG 540 Roland uv

[@OuterSouth_]

What type of holographic vinyl are you using? I notice there isn’t a visible line across it.

[@stickerbrosfactory]

Big fish digital vinyls!

[@Miksinanan]

What were the issues you had with the first? Mine isn’t performing well at all

[@stickerbrosfactory]

What’s wrong with it? Ink issue?

[@Miksinanan]

No other than that, the print quality just isn’t good. I’m getting a lot of magenta bleeding around lettering and lettering isn’t solid either, really blotchy. Just bad print quality. I have an older sg2-300 also and that’s printing way better

[@stickerbrosfactory]

@@Miksinanan yes your machine has bad ink. Contact your dealer and tell them your machine has bad Roland inks

[@stickerbrosfactory]

@@Miksinanan it’s a big problem going around on the LGs. The magenta/red/orange inks had a bad batch. Your are getting magenta around all your blacks and across the prints, I had same issue on both of my machines

[@Miksinanan]

Woah! Once you got in a new set it changed right away? Thanks for getting back to me man, it’s been the most annoying thing to deal with lol

[@ishmaildeniro]

My question is, Why should we pay to get a reconfiguration when the staggered head CMYK>Wh was always going to cause an issue to consumers? Wh>CYMK is obviously what would be used 90% of the time unless you're printing reverse for windows. Great machine but Roland should rectify.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

So good you needed a replacement and it doesn't align
