Design Space Precautions apply

You will be working in the Design Space . In order to keep safe from hazards created by you or other workers using any of the tools in this room, the following precautions apply in addition to any other precautions: don't put food in the garbage bins, there are mice we don't want to feed Several machines use vinyl; be careful when handling the rolls because you can damage them and in turn damage the sensitive vinyl equipment This space is partially open to the public - do not leave sharp objects lying around. We have some communal sharp tools in a secret place; ask a nearby helpful person or post on Slack if you would like to know where they are.

• ink (usually from Polymershapes)

edit these instructions at Instructions:Roland TrueVIS VG3-540 Printer

Do not use the Roland unless you have had Roland Printer Training. This is just a checklist.

Prep file

• open in CorelDraw
• set the vector that is the cut-out for the decal and backing to Contour cut
• set the vector that is the cut for the decal on top of the backing to Perf contour cut
• save as .pdf file with your name as part of the file name

Setting up roll of vinyl

• see details in instructions on the bucket
• make sure rollers are up
• push through media until 1 beep and then 2 beeps; fan should come on to hold it down
• lower rollers
• slide the side clamps onto the vinyl until the edge shows in the holes
• click "setup" button on screen on Roland
• click the material you are using (if not plain shiny vinyl, check the canonical instructions, wherever they are)
• it should say ready to print or something similar after that

Sending the print job

• open VersaWorks on the Roland PC
• drag the .pdf file into the file list on the left
• click the printer button
• the PC will take some time to process and print the file

Shut-down

• lift the rollers
• wind the vinyl back onto the roll

for all

Just a note from using it today. I could not find any instructions for it around to remind me of the details. Ttenbergen (talk) 23:18, 2024 October 27 (CDT)
