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)
