Your information was hugely valuable. The dealer said replace the head. So this point of yours makes me ask, how could a head drop ink so perfectly unless something else was firing the ink. If the yellow were irregular, I can see where maybe the head is misfiring, but the layer of...

Hello folks, I hope someone here might have had this problem and can enlighten me on possible fixes. My service rep wants to replace my yellow/mag head but I don't see how a bad head could do this. I'm having the yellow and maybe a bit of magenta bleed out during print. I can see a head...

Have this problem too but it's not between the sensors and MB Hello folks, I have this same problem. However I'm fairly sure it's not between the cutter head mechanism and the motherboard as this problem happened after removing and repairing a worn stepper motor which is behind the control...

Hello folks, I could tell a big story but let me shorten it up and hopefully someone can give me some advice. WHen swapping out all 4 of the baffles, the unit would not print MAG/YEllow afte the swap. The problem was possibly a blown fuse as the yel/mag ribbon cables were not seated...

Update: I did get the versaworks installed and then found I had to switch #7 on the mb dipswitch to on. Versaworks then found the printer and all seemed fine until it told me it did not recognize the inks I"m using... (non roland inks are in the unit). SHeesh...

Having the same problem... Everything here works but then I get an error message during printer setup that the INK may not be compatiable. I' m running non roland carts. So disappointing.

DBBQ, I agree with you. I'll look into that. But before I do plunge $800 or more in it I would sure feel better getting at least 1 thing to print correctly then contour cut. I was considering flexi but frankly I hate the editor on it. My regular program is EasySign and it has the best...

Update: Hello folks! I'm really confused now. I'm still hoping someone here will realize what I'm doing wrong and help me out. In keeping with the suggestion earlier that a profile was at fault, I spent the better part of all day and night trying different flexisign profiles and never...

I did do a manual cleaning, replaced the wipers, etc. Today I did a large print and it was mostly ok except that part of the image was a tombstone in grey.. it turned out light violet. The border was black, it turned out a blueish purple, about 60% the way to solid color.. in other words dark...

Yep, Profiles are probably a big part of my problem. I've tried a number of combinations and some have done better than others. I was hoping someone might be using a similar setup and might just tell me what profile to try. I agree, I thought head strikes too, so I'm going to watch it...

Hello. First, I'm new to this printer. I have the SP-300 with FlexiSign 8.1 and running on Windows 7 x64 bit. I had an unbelievable deal come up getting a very nice SP-300 here to my shop... could't turn it down at the price. The unit works well, does nearly perfect print tests...

Alignment setup Do an alignment training adjustment. If the cartridge is getting hit by the head but not picking up, it could be misalignment Bill Streetglo

UPDATE TO MY FIRST POST (PAT, I'll buy your boat anchor unless it's totally destroyed) SPECIAL NOTICE COLORCAM HEAD REPLACEMENT 395.00 Respond before Sept 1, 2009 Put your colorcamm back to original factory specifications with Roland Factory Service Special This is the...

Fred, I see you took care of it. If anyone here wants the colorcamm info, just PM me and I'll get the infor for you. The tech name is Jessee. I'll give you the phone and extension. No matter what, don't miss the deadline if you want your coloramm renewed for free.. or close to it.

Hello folks, This might be old news to some of you but it can also be a blessing to the uninformed, such as myself. I only wish I had this information earlier. For those that are not aware, Roland is having what they call a SUMMERTIME TUNE-UP for the Colorcamm. IF YOU OWN A COLORCAMM -=-...
