  1. bad alignment? - black "bleeding" red + blue

    lol It sure looks like I did from the print results! To manually adjust it, is it a matter of un-screwing the entire print carriage from the printer body itself and lowering/heightening it? I've tried lowering it, thinking the closer the heads are to the vinyl the clearer the image will turn...
  2. bad alignment? - black "bleeding" red + blue

    no way of doing it yourself? We have no service tech's within a 5 hour drive from here, so getting them here is ALOT of $$$$$$ for something that can be done by myself.
  3. bad alignment? - black "bleeding" red + blue

    LOL That would be a great sales pitch if it would work!!
  4. bad alignment? - black "bleeding" red + blue

    Alright, I've seen this question asked a few times on this site, and i'm sure you guys are sick of seeing it. But, of course, it happens to me, now i'm the one bugging. I recently changed the manifold on the black/blue head on my SP300. Now, my blacks are looking somewhat 3d, lol. It gives the...
  5. test print-lines missing in same spots on each head?

    yea I had a "head hit" a while back when some vinyl bunched up in the machine. was hoping it didn't damage anything, but I guess I was wrong. Captops have never been replaced since i've been here... bad question and I know im going to get razzed for this, but what are "good" captops suppose to...
  6. test print-lines missing in same spots on each head?

    I agree with you 100%, thats why I put "typical" it in quotations. Managment would rather see it dealt with by doing a cleaning or two rather than shipping over a tech who is about 4 hours away for $100/hr plus parts. I am not in charge of the companys money, so I just do the best I can with...
  7. test print-lines missing in same spots on each head?

    Attached are the best pics I could get.... I never realized exactly how dirty it is around those heads... :covereyes: Lately i've noticed once in a while the red/yellow head will pool up in small droplets (like you see in the picture) and drip. Once I cleaned it, it would go away. Never thought...
  8. test print-lines missing in same spots on each head?

    This has been a problem for a while now with my SP300. Was hoping lots of cleanings would make it go away, but thats not the case. Test prints shows ink dropping out in probably 8 or 10 lines off each head in the same spots. I would understand if it were one head only, but the fact that it's...
  9. replacing Intake Manifold in SP300 help?

    perfect, that answered my questions exactly! Its done and works great, thanks so much!
  10. replacing Intake Manifold in SP300 help?

    Hello, I recently broke a prong off the intake manifold, and now have to replace it. I have the part, but am cautious about replacing it. There is two white/tan colored octagon "inserts" that seem to be holding the manifold down in place. Do these pop out, or is there a hidden screw that holds...
  11. red hue-annoying!!

    Hi! I have a Roland SP300 that I am using with Roland Colorip and Corel Draw. I'm trying to print off a jpeg image I pulled off the internet. I do realize colors won't turn out the exact same. On the screen it looks perfect, but when I print it, every image turns out dark with a red hue to it...
  12. is printing lime greens: possible??!! frustrated!!

    Thank you so much everyone for the helpful info!!! We are a very small business and graphics is not our main source of income, so it is hard to get managment to dedicate a large amount of money to hire a professional to "finely tune" everything properly, or order a program. I realize now how big...
  13. is printing lime greens: possible??!! frustrated!!

    thank you stephenj148 and jhilldesigns!
  14. is printing lime greens: possible??!! frustrated!!

    lol Gino what a polite way to tell me to go screw myself... you really do have a way with words. I was not trying to insult or offend any of you... this site has helped me on numerous occasions. If doing test prints and adjusting settings and values is what it takes to get the colors right...
  15. is printing lime greens: possible??!! frustrated!!

    Hello, I have a Roland SP300 that I use with Roland Colorip and Corel Draw. I know you guys get this question alot, but.... why is it so hard to print bright, vivid colors like lime green, certain aqua blues, bright oranges, etc? I've read that you have to "play around with your settings". Thats...
