  1. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    I couldn't even get my dealer to check the machine, they told me the print & cut quality was acceptable, I told them my $80 Epson inkjet printer could print better quality and I could hand cut stickers with better precision. As a matter of fact I still have all of the test prints and cuts. These...
  2. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    Yes, but the preset on the machine not the software. It would resolve the issue but no longer does. I also took your advice but reinstalled Versaworks 6 completely instead. I used a different ethernet cable too, unfortunately the issue remains the same. Considering the tech had issues with a...
  3. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    I see what you mean, I did run the damper fill procedure by pressing enter and plus while turning on the power. I also remembered that the print head and control board were both replaced in October 2020, I emailed the tech asking for advice on what I need to do next, at this point I just need it...
  4. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    I see, I've figured out that I constantly have to adjust the calibrations to keep most prints acceptable. I regretted buying the printer the moment Roland said they needed to replace parts. That happened a few weeks after I purchased it, which was brand new, I'm glad I didn't have space for the...
  5. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    That's strange, 1,500 CAD is about 1,185 USD, I thought the print heads for these were $1,800 USD. I see, I wanted to avoid doing that, but it might be the only choice left. This printer has been nothing but a regrettable investment and it has convinced me to never buy anything Roland again...
  6. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    I just tried it, uni-direction 300 mm/s, the issue remains the same. Do you happen to know the average cost to replace the C/M head on a SG300 and what a SG300 in working order goes for?
  7. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    I ran the damper fill process 6 times total a few months ago, when I did the TR2 upgrade, 4 for the upgrade process and another 2 in order to fix the head leaking ink. I just ran the damper fill process again and the issue remains unchanged unfortunately. I tried uni-directional, I also lowered...
  8. SG-300 TR2 Printing Horizontal White Lines on Cyan

    Hello, My Roland SG-300 TR2 Cyan started printing horizontal thin white banding, it's been happening on and off since the TR2 upgrade and resolved by simply reloading the preset I saved. However I've spent 3 days trying what would typically fix it, plus adjusting different settings including...
  9. Need Help Roland TrueVIS SG-300 Grainy Prints

    Update: Called them today and let them know I never got a call back. The rep told me that 4 hours was an inaccurate estimate and it was actually up to 2 days instead, but today is day 3. He said he needed to speak to the rep that escalated my ticket to figure out who it was escalated to but he...
  10. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    Wow thank you for that sample image, I wish my Roland output something half as good as that. 1440dpi? Roland outputs 900dpi! I don't know how in the world I got it stuck in my head that Roland was the go to of printers, now I'm banging my head on the desk... I can only find the Mimaki for about...
  11. Need Help Roland TrueVIS SG-300 Grainy Prints

    Update, turns out the service level calibrations were never done for my machine, they're done now. Same problem now with banding and little bit of black over spray. I had my ticket escalated Friday, I was supposed to receive a call within 4 hours and never received anything once again. I am now...
  12. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    How do you like the Mimaki? Is it around the same price? I am having the same problem but with a sg-300, horrible bi-directional printing, banding, and slight over spray on month old printer. It's an extremely regrettable purchase, I don't know how they're such a popular brand.
  13. Need Help Roland TrueVIS SG-300 Grainy Prints

    Update - Yesterday I received a call from a manager and a technician trying to help me out, a couple of messages were sent back and forth, but haven't received any messages today. I'm pretty sure Roland was going to send an urgent request to my dealer so they could send a technician in today but...
  14. Hand painted lettering WTF

    I modified a font called Cambria and managed to come up with this. I didn't match the C's top and bottom outer serifs on the photo since it seems to be a different style compared to the rest of the letters, the "R" doesn't seem to be the same style either but I did match that one. I hope it helps!
  15. Need Help Roland TrueVIS SG-300 Grainy Prints

    Unfortunately my prices and minimums compared to others differ greatly, so that's not something I'd be able to do. Update - The tech that was helping me seems to have lost interest and stopped replying. I'll be contacting another one tomorrow. Update 2 - Contacted another technician and was...
