Hi, i am an operator only used latex in big shops. I want to start vinyl printing and installation business at home. Can you run this vg2 in a room at home? Will it smell too bed? Will it dry in couple of hours?
Hi, I run a VG-540 on TR2 inks outta my spare bedroom. The smell isn't terrible but it all depends what you're printing. If it's a really heavy print and you get it really hot you can smell it but it's not like STINKY like latex is. Prints don't take hours to dry, eco-solvent ink dries pretty much immediately if you have your heat set right. Off-gassing is a different story and a point of contention for some. Typically I batch jobs (stickers) and print to take-up, run em through the laminator to laminate and/or reset, then I crop cut em to take-up again, then run em back through upside-down to put a back split in em. Hope that helps 🤙
I got the same, seems like people with vg540 have issues with CYAN.. everytime I do a manual clean I have specs of ink on prints.. no idea what I’m doing wrong
Thank you! This is great- please add demos on general use. I'm a visual learner and you are easy to follow! :)
Good information and right to the point.

what should I do if I'm missing cyan lines in the test print?
