Graphtec still supports the 8600. We're a servicing dealer and can still get most parts for them. The only thing we haven't been able to get (and I haven't checked lately, they could be available now) is the pinch wheel assemblies. Pinch wheels themselves are still available as well as boards...

I've replaced more than most people. It is not as easy as earlier models, but not beyond reach to do it yourself. I usually encourage my customers to pay me to do it the first time and I let them watch. Then they can decide whether or not they want to tackle it, but I will try to describe my...

Which calibration are you talking about? There are quite a few on that printer. If you're talking about the feed calibration, which just happens to be labeled "Calibration" in the menu, then you likely have a dirty feed encoder disk. Turn off your printer and unplug it. Then open the right...

Yup. Perfectly fine.

There's no end of EcoSol inks that I've heard of. The only Roland ink that is going away that I know of is the original TR Inks later this year or early next year.

Sounds like it was talking with my wife.:eek:

I had a similar experience. New customer to us had been proofing every print, making adjustments in the RIP to get color matches, then storing the RIP'd files so he could reproduce. When we sold the new printer and gave him proper RIP training he was able to use files without alteration and...

Try doing the calibration 2, 3 or 4 times. It seems to improve it's registration with repeated calibrations.

It's all about expectations really. I've got customers that range the entire spectrum of color management from ones that use only 1 profile in the RIP and only one preset on the printer to full on G7 certified shops that profile every media on every printer and recalibrate every Monday morning...

Did they flush all of the old ink out or just put in new cartridges? Was the printer using OEM ink before or third party Inks? White and metallic inks are the worst as far as clogging goes and this is compounded by the fact that most people only use these colors a small fraction of the time the...

Updating to the latest firmware will allow you to perform the Damper Fill function (previously only available through service mode). Roland recommends performing 2 damper fills to help alleviate ink dripping from the print heads. If this printer is still under warranty, I would make sure that...

It looks like he/she is, but the condition is not set to use position 3.

Try cleaning off an area with Isopropyl to see if it's old vinyl with plasticizer migration. I would also clean off the encoder strip, because that was my first thought before you told me that other media works fine. Are you using different presets on the different materials? Good Luck

From Roland's website:

Solventinkjet, Are you talking about running Versaworks as admin? Or installing the driver as admin? The problem that I see is that the SP300v connects as a USB device, not a network device and the USB driver is not compatible with Win10.

Omega keys came in basically 4 flavors. One only lets you output - Plot Station, One lets you design only - Layout Station, One is for cut vinyl only and also lets you output to plotters - CS for Cut Solution or Cut Station and CP - Cut/Print. If you don't have CP or LS, you can't make changes...

You can also turn off the OMAS and run the feed calibration manually. The OMAS can vary the feed distance throughout a print job. If you disable it and set it manually, you will have constant feed between print passes.

I think what Gino is trying to say is you're probably not the best one to judge if you're qualified for this job. The fact that you aren't familiar with Polycarbonate off of a roll, shows your lack of experience. It is a standard sign material for this type of sign cabinet. If it were just a...

That is if they have it in stock. With almost all production going towards clear plastics lately, it is difficult to find.

A good picture of the issue you're having along with a picture of the nozzle test print will go a long way towards helping you with your problem.
