hi, can you laminate after you print and then run it through again to cut? I don't see ay tutorials on this machine, but see it lots of tutorials for bn-20.
Hello, I'm currently facing an issue and I'm hoping you can provide some advice. I'm working with metallic vinyl (gold), and I'm adding a white ink background to the artwork. However, I want to have text show through in the gold vinyl material. When I set the text color to standard white and the background to grey-white (RDG white) in Illustrator, VersaWorks doesn't render the text properly; it just shows the entire thing in white. However, if I have a black or any other colored background and leave the text in standard white, it shows up in gold. This issue only occurs when I'm printing with a white ink background. I hope this explanation clarifies my problem. Apologies for any confusion. any advice or tips is appreciated.
Thanks for the informative video. As a designer I work with various signage companies who print on Roland VG2 printers. On some occasions two files containing the exact same Pantone colour has come out differently. I have asked them how they ensure their output is always the same and also if they use a Pantone Bridge book to compare the output to the swatches. They say they only print what they are given and there should not be any variation. Are you able to suggest ways that I can help them control their output so it's more consistent? Also would there be a reason why the machine prints the exact same colour differently on different jobs when months apart? Thanks.
It's not possible with UV-technology. The ink has to be embedded into the surface of the material to withstand major distortions such as getting hit by a driver.
