  1. Roland Xc540 issues

    Also, check your magenta line for any leaks. Leaks can cause backflow and then dropout. The leaks usually happen around the brass connectors on the ink lines or at the ink cartridge station. If you see anything fresh, then that's a likely culprit.
  2. Consistent colour printing issues TRUVIS- 3 banners none are the same blue when printed.

    There can be color change from one side of the printer to the other as well. So blue for example might be a different color on the right side of the print than the left which is subtle enough you wont notice until you place them side by side. So, one thing you may also try is to flip the...
  3. Need Help versaworks 6 perf cut

    Why not just use the CutContour on both? Have the outer be a solid stroke and the inner be dashed stroke? Then you can do the test cut etc from the machine.
  4. HELP File printing short on Roland VG#540

    Check your margin setting as well under properties/ file format.
  5. SG-540 on TR2 Inks - Blotchy Reds/Magenta

    Was there any change in your shop? New A/C heater unit? um.... air cleaner etc? I almost looks like something has been sprayed into the air and settled on the material. Does the test print look good? Sorry man, reaching here...
  6. SG-540 on TR2 Inks - Blotchy Reds/Magenta

    What's your head height set at? Also, if you printed this on Unidirectional then I'm thinking ICC profile issue...? Have you tried another red solid to see if it looks the same? The blur on Vertical lines usually means then bi directional is off. There is a test print and adjustment for that...
  7. Roland felt wiper replacements

    Do you have the LEC or the LEC2? Different head configuration.
  8. Roland VSi and refillable cartridge

    Sad but true. Especially with Roland ink. Their cartridges are vacuum sealed, so there's no air bubbles entering the system. Seems silly, but it can cause some expensive problems.
  9. Roland XC-540 possible bearing problem, grinding

    Pully bearing, Scan Motor, Scan motor gear (the nylon one) or rail bearing. Your belt might also be sticking the the pully because of ink mist. Might want to clean that as well. Use some 3 and 1 oil on the bearing rail first to see if that helps. My guess is a pully bearing... Just a guess.
  10. [Mimaki UCJV-300 160] Patchy Print

    Well.. I've tried several different profiles, however I just run jobs like this through my Roland LEC2. Because it doesn't require profiles. But.... I'll continue to tinker and see if I find something that works. Let you all know what I find. If I do.
  11. [Mimaki UCJV-300 160] Patchy Print

    I have the same issue on certain colors as well. Would love a fix for this.
  12. Versacamm Grey printing Tan

    Might consider changing your color in illustrator or Photoshop from CMYK to RGB and see if that changes things as well. I find that having the rip interpret the color from RGB makes a big difference on color. Maybe for next time.
  13. Roland SP-540V - contour-cutting off

    Are you using all the pinch rollers or just the two outside? Those pinch roller carriages do get hairline cracks in them and can cause the pinch rollers to not grip evenly. https://www.signs101.com/attachments/pinch-roller-jpg.115686/ If you use all of them it can help.
  14. Ready to burn Roland XR-640

    I just found this article. Might help: https://www.rolanddga.com/blog/2020/02/26/color-management-settings-in-roland-versaworks
  15. Ready to burn Roland XR-640

    3M and Orafol etc. wouldn't spend tons of money creating profiles for their material if they didn't work. I don't use generic or canned profiles. Also, making your own profiles is way more work than it's worth... at least what I've found.
