I set up the Perf Cut settings on the plotter and save them under Condition 8 (Pick any number you want to use) and then tell Flexi to use Condition 8 for the Perf Cut and use my normal condition for whatever material I'm cutting. (You can set normal cutting parameters, but I don't know how to...

If you send the test print from VersaWorks (Printer Menu>Test Print) does it do the same thing? Also, you may have a large border on the file and it's just trying to get to the printed portion. Finally make sure you don't have any value (or just a small value) in the Y Position box in the Job...

Roland solvent inks are good for 2 years from the date on the cartridge - if stored properly. So it could be old - depending on the month. Remember to do a couple of powerful cleanings to get the fresh ink up to the head. Good Luck

A few months with the heads properly capped would probably be a challenge, but with head soaking and cleanings you might get the heads to clear up some. If the heads were uncapped for a couple of months, you've probably got a boat anchor. Those heads are fragile and won't take a lot of...

I think those clip on to the bed, not the rail. Later models had clip that slid on the rail that you attached the edge guides to. Newest models have gone back to the edge guides that mount on the bed.

Are you sure those go with that machine? I don't see them listed at all for that model. The SC545EX was from before my time. Can you post a picture of the guides you have?

That's a first for me. Knowing the problem is 98% of fixing it. Thanks for reporting back.

I agree with Solventinkjet, but I always start with the cap top as there's less potential for damage to the print head. And make sure you're getting an OEM cap top. This is assuming that you haven't already replaced the cap top (with an OEM) in the last year. Then try the dampers, but also...

The VP doesn't have damper sensors, so it's not able to measure ink flow. Are any of your inks expired? Roland inks are good for 2 years from the date printed on the cartridge. This and as pointed out, third party inks will cause this head protection feature. If you have all good ink, then...

Clean all those sliding parts carefully with some Isopropyl alcohol, then put a drop of 3 in 1 oil on them. Sometimes the grease on those will harden or collect dust and will lock things up.

Most of the time when I see this, it's with an old caddy. The springs that prevent the foil from spooling off when not in the Edge will either get bent, wear a larger hole in the plastic or some other wear causes them to not align with the dog on the casting that is supposed to disengage it and...

Assuming everything was installed correctly - Did you perform the encoder set up and encoder calibration? These need to be done first, then the limit initialization. Good Luck.

Besides the blade, have you checked the cutting strip? The wear unevenly and will give different results over the width of the machine. Good Luck

Make sure that you're shaking your ink bags weekly. The orange pigment likes to settle and this really throws off the quality of reds and oranges. If you haven't done it for a while, you may need to replace the orange ink as you may have "unbalanced" the carrier/pigment load. Then perform a...

Garyroy nailed it. Zoogee offered a workaround. Slick confirmed it. You can attack it one feature of color management at a time, or you could get a proper profile built for the media your printing on, done on your printer in your shop environment by someone who understands color management...

Did you replace the dampers with the cap top? Are you using old ink? Are you using Roland ink or another brand? You're correct light cyan has deflections, but have you tried printing in high quality mode? Does that get you acceptable results? Good Luck,

No need to take anything apart. Those grooves don't need to line up with the opening. Just rotate the shaft till the tab lines up. The other end is just a bearing and will slide right in. As for removing the cover, there are two varieties of knobs there. Some have set screws that need to...

The recommended manual cleaning schedule is once a week - this is a minimum. This can vary depending on usage and the environment that the printer is in. If daily cleaning is a necessity, then that would point other problems like Solventinkjet recommended.

Check your cutting strip and blade again. It could be time to replace those. Also, the bearings in the blade holder will wear down causing sloppy cutting. Also check that the Y-slider is solid on the rail. There is a spring at the top the will lose its tension and cause your cuts to be less...

Double check all the connections on the board you replaced. It thinks you're out of ink, so either the sensors aren't talking to the board or the board isn't talking to the mainboard. Good Luck
