If you were in my position, what course of action would you take? Not sure if I should just take the monthly payment plan or not because no matter which way I go they still have the control over my future in business. Jim

I purchased Corel X-8 back in 2017, and it works fine for the type of work I do. I understand that I do not get any upgrades, and I am fine and can live with that. My question is do I now have to do anything different, or can I continue to use X-8? Thanks for your reply Jim

So if I take the chip off a new ink cartridge and install it on an old cartridge, would it work? I am also thinking for the first time about using after market cartridges and ink, but not sure which ink works the best in Roland printers. My SP-300 is now considered a legacy printer, and...

On a Roland Ink Cartridge, there is a small circuit board on the front of every cartridge, is that what control the ink flow and everything else? There is only one small screw holding it in place. If I replace this with the circuit board off a new cartridge, would it work? Kind of like...

ewded: Thank you for responding. I like your idea and may give it a try. It does sound labor-intensive and since I have maybe 12 to 24 ink cartridges sitting on shelves might not be worth the effort. Your statement was the following, "If you happen to puncture the bag hot glue will seal it...

Thanks for explaining that to me, as I did not know how that worked. Each cartridge I have has a good deal of ink left inside it. I will keep working on this problem because It's crazy to just keep wasting ink! Jim

Question when you say get some chips to put on the cartridge, what do you mean? I have installed shims under one end of the cartridge to raise the angle slightly, but there is still a good deal of ink in each cartridge, and I have many of them. It seems so wasteful just to keep getting rid of...

I have a few questions. Where do I purchase this set-up and the approximate cost. You insert the needle into the end of a 220 ink cartridge that has ink left in it and once you draw the ink into the needle your then remove it and insert it into the correct color cartridge and reverse the value...

I have many 220 ink cartridges which still have ink in them, looking for ideas how to transfer it into other cartridges. Thanks Jim

I am not the right person to answer your question. Solveninkjet would be better able to answer that question for you. Jim Hill

I just called Jim Hancock and his recorded message said he is taking care of his mother and won't be doing any service calls at this time. Jim Hill

Thanks for the update. I also had him do a service call on my printer while I was in Dallas. He is a real nice guy to deal with and also very knowledgeable. I think I will try and get in touch with him because he used to always post, and it's been a while since he last posted on this site...

I had Jim Hancock serve my Roland Printer a few months ago, but I was wondering if he is still active on this site since I no longer see him posting. He is a great tech guy to know for sure. Jim Hill

I think the reason I have no power to the printer is I had replaced the sensor for the encoder strip which I forgot about, and I had to unplug the two ribbon cables going from the heads to the main board and when I checked sure enough I found two pins bent. I ordered two new cables and once I...

I was printing this morning with the printer, and it worked perfectly. Turned it on 30 minutes later and no power. I have tried different outlets, and they appear to be working fine. What fuses should I check first and what type of meter should I check the fuses with and on what setting...

It might help you to have someone just watching for the service mode to flash because it happens very fast. The first time I ever tried to enter the service mode I also had a hard time, and then I asked my son just to watch the screen while I pressed all the buttons and remember you only have...

I was wondering if there is a way to pull the ink tap on the bottom of the cartridge out because when I weighted few of my old ink cartridges there seems to be a lot of ink left in each one. Is there a way to get more of the ink out? Thanks Jim

Jim Hancock: Just reading your reply and comments can make all Roland users smarter! I thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to fix many of the problems users see all the time. Jim Hill

Maybe I will give E-Bay a try. Last time I used E-Bay was in 2005 Jim
