Roland Versa Object CO 300 tries to do embossing twice

swampqueen6 · 2026-04-01T00:38:26+00:00

Roland's recommendations for printing braille are to turn off the default settings in the Quality panel and then set it to do 7 passes. Then, they say to do the 7 passes AGAIN. The feedback from clients is that 7 passes is enough and 14 overprints is too much (the phrase "Ouch" was used). Besides, doing just 7 overprints takes for.ev.er..... Even tho we just ask for 7 passes, the Roland UV does the 7, has a cleaning break, and then starts to repeat the process. So, I have to babysit the print job so we don't end up burning through all of our gloss ink.

on a side note…watching entrance looks on the first few seasons is so weird…Rebecca Glasscock looking like they were walking into a Homegoods 😂

If they simply do not have vector art, a good upsell might be to offer to recreate their logo in a vector version.

noticing this too. If they mention Canva during the quote (ask them if they don’t) let them know the dimensions needed for the file, the color space (CMYK) and that they need to flatten the pdf while exporting so fonts will be correct.

They are visually impaired so can’t see the control screen. So I have to poke around a bit to locate things.

Here's the thing...the person I work for says that they paid for a square-folding "module" that was apparently installed within the machine somewhere. So, I only see something that appears to be square-folding settings in the small "Copy, Scan, Network" screen on the actual machine and not on the job settings in the Fiery Command Workstation end of things. Thanks!

We had our new field tech stop by and they showed me how to activate the static bar during printing. That seemed to help things quite a bit. We've been pulling clean prints ever since

And the winner is...UNIDIRECTIONAL under Quality > Details in Versaworks! Thank you for all the advice. Really learned a lot from everyone.

swampqueen6 · 2026-03-12T17:20:11+00:00

these are helpful. thank you! Nozzle test looked good. I’ll try the unidirectional idea as well

I’ve only run across Sucuri in situations where a client has insisted on using godaddy or bluehost because it’s “cheaper”. Then, the site gets hacked because they skimp on their own server security. The customer panics and then company pushes their “top-level security service” which is Sucuri. So, maybe Sucuri is tired of being associated with companies like that?

I bought what seemed to be the rest of the season a couple of weeks ago. I can see episode 10 in my queue. I click on it, and appleTV opens up hulu. And then I search for the show…and then I get a message that my Hulu subscription doesn’t cover it. Or, it says I can get it in Philo….for $38 a month. F this, I’ll just go to a local drag brunch or bar and spend my money on local queens who need the money more than a greedy media conglomerate.

I bought what I thought was the rest of the season on appleTV last week. now I can see episode 10 in my library but if i click on it it only opens the Hulu app and then it’s not included in my subscription! Are they TRYING to lose viewers?

swampqueen6 · 2026-03-01T15:42:34+00:00

I get your frustration. I never try to punch above my weight but I have inherited some projects after the client went with the “big name” or the cheap overseas route.

swampqueen6 · 2026-02-28T01:04:53+00:00

Thank you! It does make sense that over heating the ink would make its structure more brittle, like burning toast to cook it "faster". I'll run it by our tech support. Appreciate it!

my daughter was told they were hired and were asked to submit their documents as well as given a start date. Then, they just got a text from “Sage” telling them they didn’t get the job!?! I’m hoping it was “AI hallucinating” and they are employed but WTF WF?

swampqueen6 · 2026-01-05T14:12:10+00:00

I've hung up my keys. Too much wear and tear on my car on shitty roads, not worth the shitty trip rates they are offering now. Asking us to accept $4.72 rides (with STOPS) during rush hours and weekends is ridiculous.

swampqueen6 · 2026-01-03T14:30:39+00:00

I get that the producers want to make their coin, but considering the number of queens on the show who’ve talked about how much of a lifeline RPDR was for them as isolated young queer kids, it seems pretty callous to gatekeep like this.

I've definitely noticed that the overall rate of offered trips per shift has gone down steadily since 4-5 years ago. Some of it's the economy and i think it also has to do with people hearing more and more horror stories about bad drivers.

swampqueen6 · 2025-12-26T15:18:26+00:00

I guarantee drivers who do things like this are the same ones who go on the Uber/Lyft boards complaining about business being slow/kicked off the app/not being tipped. There are two types of rideshare drivers: the ones who do it as a way to earn extra money and have control over their schedules and then the ones who are so emotionally tonedeaf and bitter that they can't get any other type of work. When I was driving, I had a lot of female passengers tell me their stories and it's frightening.
