We currently use a Roland sp-540v and it has help expand our business greatly. We are doing more and more jobs that require print and cut or print laminate then cut. We are having a difficult time accurately cutting more then 1 row of decals at a time (12“-18“). If we try doing more then 1 row the decals die cut will be off. Most of these designs are somewhat intricate, freeform shapes (always more then just an oval or rectangle). We are having the exact same issue when we print laminate then cut. We do the environmental match every day before we use it. Also adjusted the print-cut with little improvement.
We are wondering if any other roland sp-540v owners have the same issue or does your machine cut 100 decals at a time perfectly (like Roland claims it will do).
Bottom line, we need the ability to print and cut more efficiently and are considering an upgrade. The machine we choose must be 54” wide eco-solvent inks and have outdoor ability without lamination. Our goal is to have a machine that will accurately cut at least 48”-60” of material at a time, not just 12-18”.
What machine do you use and what is your experience with it?? Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks

I have had a roland 300, 540v and now have a pro III. I really have not had too much problems with registration on say 4x4-5' print/cut or print/lam/cut, I have increased the bleeds more on larger runs, but otherwise they have performed well. Possibly just a machine setting?
