Thanks - I did a sample print on a sample of FDC and everything looks good so far. Thanks for the help, and your time, I appreciate it!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! So sorry, dumb question........my cutter (GX-24) I would always cut a piece to size. Do you recommend I do the same with the wrap material (so do NOT place the whole roll on the roller and let the machine pull the material up to print?)? Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks - yea I know I wasn't going to use the regular vinyl - just didn't want to test on the little bit of Orajet I actually have for the first time printing. I will put in the Orajet wrap vinyl and do a test run - thanks! Any other suggestions?

So what does that entail and what is a fix? Thanks!

Hey guys - just got this machine. Everything seems to be going fine - I did a test print on regular 641 oracal white vinyl just to test the ink - everything looks good except for the swipe marks of random colors as indicated in the picture. Sorry if this is a simple fix, this is my first printer, always just used a cutter. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

So ironically - I have the same exact issue - 10 months from the date it originally happened. I unplugged everything on the motherboard - turn it back on, do a Self-Test, cuts CAMM-1 fine, everything else is operating - EXCEPT the UP arrow only. Does anyone have any information? Anything is appreciated - thank you! Lee

As far as beveled fonts - I guess I could paint the different sections and increase the dpi and save as a png and import into my design - seems like a lot of work when it seems like a simple effect that could be implemented within any font.

Thanks for the video. Yea I am not looking for layering in cut vinyl - this would all be printed for wraps. Just wasn't sure if there is a specific name for this effect and if so how to accomplish it in photoshop or Inkscape.

I normally use Photoshop or Inkscape - but hard to research when I am not even sure what this effect is called? Almost like a 2 tone emboss reflection - no idea - any help? Thanks in advance.

Yes I have printing capability with a VersaCamm - just wondering how to make this effect in the design process. Thanks!

Ignore the actual police officer - how do you accomplish the 2 tone effect which is depcited in the word Police? Any help is appreciated! Photoshop or Inkscape, etc. Thanks!

Thanks - that show that the picture is from is only once a year. I am up in Minnesota; around here we have a demo within 100 miles of the twin cities probably every weekend during the summer. Local purses are only about $1,000 or so. It helps to advertise your sponsors in a more professional looking way instead of rattle can - kind of a selling point for me. I don't do too much lettering for the actual car, since it will get wrecked. But the sign they can use over and over again.

Here are some samples I have done. I specialize in making number signs for demolition derby cars - and it has kept me busy! All of my signs are professionally powder coated. I then get the wrap printed on a Roland Versa Camm, and layer any holographic on my Roland GX-24 I have at home. I know everyone on here has a business, but if any of your local guys need a sign for their county fair demolition derby, feel free to pass along my info as this is all I dedicate my time to.
