I replaced the pump, the dampers and the captops (with original Roland Parts). Everything works fine now! Thanks guys

The Captops were replaced with the new heads (~3 months) but they are not original roland. The Dampers are a litte bit older, maybe 2 years? Today i cleaned the pump tubes, but it doesnt get better. I think i will replace the captops, the dampers. Should i replace the pump too?

Not very long. At the moment i need to clean the head at least 2 times a day....

Since a few days my Roland SP540-V has a problem because the colours mix in printhead. There is magenta in yellow and black in cyan. The print result is bad. Yellow looks brown and blue is nearly black. After i do one! medium headcleaning, everything works great. Both printheads and captops are...

Now i have tried for hours all your advices. Nothing changes :rolleyes: Next week i will order a new printhead - does not help.

@ ams: My head is lowerd. Wipers are clean. Ok.. the wiper blade should be cleaned again. What do you mean with "overprint"? @ phototec: Thanks for the Tip. I will trie it immediately.

I played a lot around with different media settings and ICC Profiles. It's always the same. Just black on white looks the same too. My heating configuration is beetween 42 an 45 Grad Celsius. Material is Standard Vinyl (Orajet 3951 or 3550) RIP Software is Versaworks.

Hi Mark, thanks for your answer. Can you tell me what "encoder strip" means? In german this word makes no sense. Please explain me what it is. EDIT: I found the encoder stripe. Thanks! :smile:

The bottom "SHOULD NOT" cleaned :smile:

I clean the heads very gently. My only fear is that i replace the printhead for round about 1000,- Euro and the issue is here again. Why is the problem only with the black ink??? The other colours are perfect! Thanks for your tips until now. I will increase the humidity - maybe it will be work...

Yes, there is a lot of static. When i handle with Protect-Laminat i always get a little electric shock when i touch the printer. Should i ground the roland? What do you mean with "dry"? Do mean the air moisture? In winter times it is dry in my workshop because of the heating. Can static and...

Hi everyone, sorry for my very bad english. Hop i can refresh my english in this forum too :smile: I im wondering because the nozzle-test is not to bad - is it? But printing black is horror. I always have "scraggy" prints in letters and so on. It doesn't matter if i print uni / bisectional or...
