I'm with VanderJ. It looks like two heads are needing replaced, BUT, Try a good flush first. Move your print carriage to the cleaning position. Turn your printer off completely, and disconnect the power cord in the back (to be safe). Put a glass jar below the head (or something else that...

I am most certainly not a tech. But it looks to me like your pumps may not be pulling ink into those heads. Try disconnecting the cap tubes at the pumps. Take a syringe, and pull ink manually through those heads. I've had to do that before when my pumps weren't working right. Find some big...

Nice! Are you leasing it? Or did you just out right buy it? I've been using an old Roland for years. I've been considering getting one of these but just afraid to pull the trigger. I've been told these printers are practically maintenance free. My solvent printer I have to "milk" at...

I looked at a service manual on replacing heads. It never mentions the word frequency. But it does mention entering the the heads "RANK" while in service mode? do you think maybe that's the same thing?

Hey Brent, what I did today was re-install the old head. And the fuse did not blow this time. The head board is still in good shape THANK GOODNESS! Definitely the new head that's blowing the fuse, for some reason. Thanks Brent!

Hey thanks for responding!! Yes. I did that today. I plugged the old head back in and this time the fuse did not blow. So, it's definitely the print head making the fuse blow. greysquirrel above said there was some way to input the frequency or voltage?

Greysquirrel , how do you do this?? Please, I'd love to know.

Hey thank you for taking the time to respond. I tried re-seating the cables and re-installed a new fuse. Fuse blew again. Still no print on group A :-( So you think I got the right head?

Hi folks, I have a Roland SC 540 printer. I just purchased a DX4 print head from Digiprint Supplies and once I installed it. THE FUSE BLEW!! This is the head I purchased right here.... http://www.digiprint-supplies.com/epson-dx4-solvent.html I couldn't resist the price. Did I...

I always manually register my marks on large print/lam/cut jobs. After you've done it a few times it's just as fast and just as accurate as the auto function.

Just bought my first wrap kit! I decided to go inexpensive because that's what my clients want. It's Arlon DPF6000 ARP from Fellers. There is a horrible grey streaking that seams to be just appearing for no reason. (see pics) This has NEVER happened to me before with ANY other material. I've...

seams like, since your using Roland's Versaworks software it should be printing it's own registration marks with absolute perfection. And then Auto Align with perfection as well. I'm using a cheaper RIP called VinylMaster I got off of EBay, which for the most part works really awesome. I've...

thank you all so much for replying. i really to appreciate it. I tried cleaning the crop mark sensor. It was just a bit dirty. but no luck :-( I took the "fuzzy" thing into consideration too. so i took my laminated print to the table and used my squeegee to really press down hard to...

I have a Roland SC-540 SolJet Pro 2 EX Model. I'm having problems with the Auto Align feature. The problem is that after it reads the Base Line mark, which it does fine, as it's advancing on to the second mark the machine wants to feed the material out in little jumps, and by the time the cut...

Sounds very technical. I've been advised to perform a head wash/cleaning first with cleaning cartridges since I've never done it in the 6 months I've had the machine. I should get them tomorrow. I can barely pull ink through the heads so my buddy thinks the lines are clogged. But I think...
