    Posted by johnlewis on 20 December 2004 at 08:48

    got a versacamm this year not used it much got it for printing posters and doing t-shirts but not much luck with the material I’ve been trying. i have been trying here to get solvent gloss photo paper from rolland here but they say its not sold in europe ! (not roland’s own anyway) t-shirt material not much luck either, just got some from duro tape, roll of printa standard, still testing it, after some tweaking i got it not smudge together and even look quite reasonable but its getting white specs in it. looks like a paint brush flicked on it with white. hope i can find some answers on this forum
    i am new to the sign business but I’ve done some airbrushing work onto pvc and a few years ago i had a pc60 and a camm1 from roland
    anyway i was only supposed to say hello !! well hello
    and thanks for letting me in this forum 😀

    :welcome: cold & wet here and see your in spain – say no more.
    spotting is a problem on some materials and i am told that it comes from the finishing rollers at the factory should disapier a little further in to the roll also sounds like you are putting to much ink down in one go so lower the ink value and print at a higher resolution are you using the roland colour rip ? .

    gone to find another heater

    Hi John,

    Welcome to the groups, there are a few versawassit owners on here, so please ask any questions and I’m sure we’ll do our best to answer them.

    Doro sell a coated 200gsm poster paper that takes a lot of ink! I’ve had three rolls so far and I’m over the moon with it.
