The captop has absolutely nothing to do with this problem. This is an electronic issue, not an ink flow issue. Based on the new info on the history of the problem, I would reassess my diagnosis to possibly being the printhead itself. Unless you are technically adept, you might want to consider...

Definitely looks like bad ribbon cables. Any head crashes ? What occurred around the time it started printing like this? You did not specify which 540i model series, i.e., SP, VP, or VS. The ribbons and heads are different on the different model ranges. The SP & VP series are easy and can be...

Any results after doing the calibrations I suggested?

It looks like your black is dropping out. If you do a test print immediately after this occurs, what does it look like. I suspect the black damper is failing. Also check the black cartridge, as they sometimes run out of ink and the empty tab doesn't come out far enough to stop the printer.

Are the caps you replaced Roland OEM caps? If not, try swapping the magenta and cyan caps and see what happens. Aftermarket caps are very hit and miss.

This is a scan alignment issue. The pinch rollers and grit rollers only control the feed or front to back alignment. I would suggest the following steps, in the given order. Initialize the Limit Aging - Feed, Scan and Cutting Linear Encoder Crop-Cut Alignment Print-Cut Alignment This will...

Try opening VersaWorks as an administrator.

On Thursday, 4-8-21, I posted a response in thread "Chromalux Sublimation Color Help" offering some guidance in profiling. I also said the OP could call me for further help if needed, as profiling discussion can get a bit complicated. There was no solicitation for business. This post was...

Check the condition of your pinch rollers, especially the outer rollers. They are a common cause of media shifting during contour cutting.

Onyx works just fine with sublimation. In my last job, I ran 12 sublimation printers profiled through Onyx, and had neutral grays and great color. Go for it!

If you are meaning the graininess in the black numbers, it looks like your heat may be too high, causing the media to ripple. This causes a bi-directional misalignment where the media has rippled. To test this, run the file in Unidirection and see if the problem is gone. Also skim the surface...

If this is strictly because of RIP software, go here for ColoRIP - COLOR | Download | Roland DG Corporation Even though it says Updater, it is a standalone full install, no previous version needed. If you aren't aware, ColoRIP is a Roland specific version of Wasatch SoftRIP, and works very well...

It's my understanding Versaworks Dual does not support TR2 inks. Perhaps this will help - Download | TrueVIS VG/SG Series Free Upgrade | Roland DG

When you replaced the dampers, did you clean the old ink off the manifold posts? Did you replace the caps with Roland OEM caps? Also suggest you perform "Initialize the limit" procedure and then do a power clean. See the attached file...

While you have the take-up motor open, look to see if it has some kind of clutch disc, probably leather. If this is the case, they may need to be replaced. After awhile, these start to lose their friction, causing slippage and requiring more force to work.

This is common on Rolands using DX4 heads. The black usually goes first, even with OEM ink. You can a head soak, but not likely to change anything. As suggested above, save yourself frustration and iffy looking jobs and replace the head.

Great to see you are up and running!
