Also, make sure that your cables - head cables and carriage cables, where ever they are bundled, are lined up. In other words, make sure the edges of the cables are lined up. As this appears to be movement related, I'd suspect the carriage cables. If they aren't aligned, power flowing through...

Rick, what version is your firmware? My post above explains how to enter the damper fill mode. If you have a VG2 with the latest firmware, you don't need to enter service mode in order to perform the damper fill. Good Luck,

You're half way there - F1 is for print heads 1 and 2, F2 is for print heads 3 and 4.

I haven't had a chance to play with one yet, but since it works within Versaworks, it's not going to be able to create a profile, but it will let you calibrate your profile - which in my opinion gives you the biggest bang for your buck as far as gray balance goes. It will also allow you to...

So, just an FYI - this was being addressed. We were working with Roland for some but we were having trouble sourcing a critical part for the repair of this machine. Since the problem was an unavailable part, Roland was going to replace it, but the replacement had a problem. Now Roland is...

use a little dab of grease to hold it on the wheel while you get the axle through!

You should also check with whoever services your printer. They may not want to deal with the headaches involved with fixing a printer that's using an ink that they're not familiar with. It adds a variable to the troubleshooting process that can't be ignored and when a service team is...

I was being lazy. There have been a few updates to that part. Any of these will work if you can find them: For the L/R wheels: 6000003824, 21565102 or the current part number is 1000022932 For the Center wheels: 6000003823, 21565103 or the current part number is 1000023140

#9 is for left and right pinch rollers #8 is for center rollers

You can test the transistors by turning off the printer, setting your meter to Ohms and reading the resistance between the two outer legs of the transistor. It should be *around* 43 - 48 ohms. They could be the source of your problems. If you're getting 1 ohm across the outer legs then the...

If you're hearing it actually step, then the problem is likely in the artwork. Open the artwork in a vector design software and show the nodes. If your lines are covered in nodes, it's the artwork, not the plotter. Also, the CE 5000 is an old entry level plotter. If you're cutting heavy...

Sorry. I didn't see this earlier. Tracking down shorts can drive a guy nuts. You found the fuses, so that's half the battle. I usually go prepared with a dozen of them in my tool kit. Since they're on the main board, you should look at everything downstream. The head cables - since you...

Most of what I've seen are decals and labels. A lot of wine labels in my area, because of the white capability and gloss/varnish top coating. They are a special kind of printer and most of my UV roll printing customers have had solvent printers already and are expanding their capabilities.

Only slightly related, but be aware that Mutoh has let its distributors know that they will only guarantee ink with 2 months shelf life left on their UH21 and VJ-US11 inks. So, distributors will have to reduce their stock levels on the shelf and you may be getting ink that needs to be used...

The pinch wheels will leave a static charge on the vinyl (different vinyls will react to static differently) and any overspray can get attracted or repelled by the charge depending on the polarity of the static charge. Higher humidity in the shop generally dissipates static faster than a dryer...

PVC Cement?

Ruam, There is a concept I call learning fatigue that after a customer reaches this point, they no longer learn anything or will forget earlier things that were taught to make mental room for what their learning now. Even the fastest learner will reach this point at some time during the...

Yes, since the reg marks sit outside the graphics, you do loose some width. It's been some time since I've done that. To set it up, Click on the Print Options (123 Icon), then click on the Targets button and select Graphtec Type 2:

Hi Julie, it would kind of depend on what you're planning on cutting the most. If you primarily do cast and calendered vinyl, the speed of the EV375 is a big plus. The settings that are controlled from the software are helpful as well. If you tend to cut more difficult materials like...

All the error codes I show start with E. E08 is the heater triac. You would also get this error if the heater isn't installed.
