Super. Even with the crappy exchange rate and taxes it's a hell of a deal.

The purpose of the battery is actually a common misconception. The battery does not keep any settings. The battery only powers the clock... It will simply keep date and time when the power switch is turned off. If you ever switched off your printer and then when you power it on it says "press...

Definitely kind of interesting... Roland does not have this in their PM list but when I purchase replacement parts from THK it comes with maintenance instructions to include regular lubrication. THK suggests (requires) lubrication of even the maintenance-free blocks every 100,000m of linear...

Sorry to see that you have a problem... Like Jim Hancock points out you have a internal leak between chambers. It's essentially a failure of the internal seals. It's going to get worse with time and additional cleaning cycles will only make it worse. This is happening all over the place with...

Mike, please PM me and I'll help you with this. -E

Grab your credit card.... One of my good friends at Roland DGA gave me a little inside information yesterday -- for what would be a head start to their warehouse clearance sale. You can find the link here: https://dgastore.rolanddga.com/category/clearance?startpage=0 There's lots of good...

Hi Scott. Keep in mind that a nozzle test really only shows a specific condition...whether or not nozzles are open, blocked (drop out), or deflected (partially blocked). The nozzle test really doesn't show what really happens when the head is being stressed or exercised. You are seeing a print...

Don't mistake the issue... It's about choice. If I want to work on my turbo diesel on my new VW... then I can. I may wreck the warranty. That's my choice. But why would I do that under warranty? The issue is about post warranty work. You'll have to call for dealer service. And they will use...

Yea... those blacks. Looks cloudy when overlammed. I'd push it back to the material manufacturer/distributor... especially if they OK the film for printing on the UCJV. What materials are you printing on? I do not know why Mimaki would suggest the use of heat assist on an overlam. Heat assist...

I think that I generally agree with the above advise... except with the Lc/Lm. Lc/Lm printheads notoriously die early and can ruin panels quickly,,,especially large solids. It is generally advised to not run the Lc/Lm not much above 2L...especially if running solids. If I were running...

Roland makes solid gear...and the fact that the systems were "essentially open" for the past 15+ years has made it easy for the technically inclined user to keep them running for years on a budget. So what I mean by "essentially open" is that the service code lockout was really only locking out...

A quick first look at the Roland VersaUV LEC2-300 gives you a double-take. It's a small frame like a VSi. And it's white. It looks so different but let the same. So is it just the same old LEC packed into a VS package? I took a look at this interesting new machine, got some insider info, and...
