I don't have experience with that exact Roland but as other said you should be able to get this resolved without a new head and this will happen often enough that you'll want to used to fixing it. There are a ton of other threads on this btw. As people mentioned you can: -do a manual clean...

no idea if it’ll work but I’ve taken the whole top off to replace ink lines etc and it’s an awkward job putting it back on. Just be prepared for some possibly swearing

we’ve used regular double sided banner tape before and it was ok but definitely not as great as on vinyl scrim. You might want to test it out and see if the heat will damage the print at all. What about gluing it? Or I think banner ups sells a pole banner sleeve tape. It’s thick and gummy...

we do a GF203 with a matching matte lamination (can't remember which one it is, it's $240+ per roll for a 54x150) or sometimes use Oracal 210 matte lam for our PVC real estate inserts (3mm pvc) and double sided for sale signs (6mm pvc).

That's crazy that she have to replace the whole printer versus a field repair. Looking at the assembly in our Epson it sure seems like it would be replaceable but who knows. We had to replace the rail in our 63" Roland at one point and it wasn't fun at all but it was doable. Different sort of...

Curious which series this is. We love their 203 series. Weirdly we prefer the oracal 210 over the GF lam because the GF backing tends to tear a lot…

I feel like I must be charging way to little or something as I usually add $3-4 for installation. For instance we did a 300sqft wall last week, GF 226HTR wall fabric, it took 3 hours with one person off an on assisting between putting up a few other graphics on at the site. We ended up around...

I think it it seems weird that it’s the head as well but we had similar issues on our cv150 solvent and jv300 sublimation and both times it ended up being the head although I was sure it was an ink delivery system and replaced ink lines, dampers and more on the sublimation machine. At least...

As long as you’re taking out the same cartridge and replacing it you’re fine. The only time I think you can run into issues if you your running the 2L bulk ink and swap cartridges before they are empty. Long story but it’s really easy to get your chips and cartridges out of sync. If you have...

Hi, yeah those cartridges are a pain... I'd be really careful about going much past the expiration date as they'll harden, swell and if you're really unlucky you'll need to replace ink lines which sucks. We've ordered from STS inks with no problems. I actually left an expired cartridge in our...

SpeedPress super hem tape. Been using it for years and years. Price has been going up lately but it’s great stuff

If Zund can't help Superior Carbide / Helicon Graphics (same company) are very helpful. They are always pretty busy but do a very good job at trying to help with everything especially considering that they do not charge for support or advice (but do really appreciate it if you buy consumables...

It's been to long to look for the spreadsheets but I think it was $0.15-.25 per square foot. It's hard though as a lot of times we're printing transfers for apparel and the majority of the paper is white space. That's why in the end we just stopped. It's a different story if you're doing...

We used to calculate it but it always seemed a lost cause as ink cost is relatively low and we'd loose a lot of ink in ink bags that had chips that errored out and issues like that. It also seemed like the dealer estimates were pretty far off as well.

The oil heated presses are usually larger machines which would not be a match for your smaller printer. A good electric/IR heated press should not have any heating issues. Our Digiheat has been great and we've had it for 8+ years just replacing the heating element (around $1200) every few...

Hi, Your 24" width is probably too small to print most flags but if want to give it a shot you need a smaller rotary calendar/heat press. Expect to pay around $10-12K for a decent entry level press unless you want to import one or find a used one. If you purchase one with an electric heater...

you won’t find anything that truly works well compared to a dedicated modified epson. Not saying you shouldn’t keep researching but if your goal is printing perfect screen positive you’re 100% going to have to buy a stand alone printer.

I know that this is a little older thread but auto open presses are great for sublimation as long as you're using tacky paper. Even manual presses will sometimes shift the transfer when raised. If you're on a smaller dye sub printer I'm not sure if tacky paper is available but it's a game...

there are a bunch of other threads on this as well. we buy ours from speedpress.com
