My cut feed adjustment is off and I have tried all that I know to correct it. I have run a cut adjust calibration. The scan direction was perfect at zero but my feed adjustment said I was off by -0.4mm (cut line crossed the bottom mark at -0.4mm). So I went ahead and adjusted the feed...

Thank you I will have to check into the head height sensor.

Thanks for all the great info! I just to eliminate and change due to movement I went ahead and tightened down both heads and ran two consecutive test prints without touching anything and got two different results. I attached a picture of both test prints. I also printed a printer report and...

Thank you for the reply Joe! Yes the spring is installed. I have been adjusting the 1.5mm allen screw to set the head alignment. I loosened the three screws on the head by tightening them and backing them off just a touch so the head will move with adjustment. The interesting thing is...

I just replaced the print heads in my sp-540v and am doing the head calibration. When I do the bias calibration I will get different results (shifts) without even making any adjustments. Also when doing the bi- directional calibration I get a head height too high message. Went into machine...

Thank you Jim! I went ahead and in service mode changed the ink type manually to MAX and the message has gone away. Phew!

Hey everyone, I took a bit of a hiatus from sign making and am jumping back in. I recently purchased a SP540V and went a head and refurbished it head to toe. I performed a factory reset and performed the ink fill procedure. My problem is it was running the fill procedure for quite some time...

Fighting my SP-540V and losing. hahaha

Hi Bigblocktrader, Thank you for the reaponse. I have not tried that. But I will try that. I did do a head soak and the cleaning solvent went down pretty easily. But i will try flushing out the cap tops. Still learning my way around the machine. Just got it not too long ago. Thanks...

Hi everyone, Happy New years eve! As I head into 2017 I wanted to give my printer a cleaning since the blue and black print heads were deflecting a little. So I went a head and put in a cleaning cartridge and drew the cleaning solution through the blue/black print head with a syringe. I...

Thanks for the help. The machine has new capping stations and wipers. I'm not sure about the pump being clogged. I will have to look into that one. I was thinking that maybe buying one of the cleaning cartridges and doing a power clean or two might help. Thought's on that strategey...

Hi Everyone, While I have been a member since 2011, I haven't bee very active due to personal changes in my life over the years. I am now working on getting back to sign and graphic making. I am here to learn and as I get more experience I looks forward to being a greater contributor to...

Hi Everyone, I have a Roland SP-300V that is giving me banding issues. I went ahead and did a calibration and a few head cleanings with no improvement. After running a test print I am getting some over lap on the black, cyan has some drop out and missalignment, magenta has some drop out and...
