Shure you use the correct knife holder? There are different knife diameters with different knife holders. In addition, you can try to put a little amount of grease on the inner side of the belt (the side with the toothes) which drives the cutting head, just a little bit.

You could be successful with linearization, but as long as the white backing do not simulate the situation of the final application, you will not be successful with profiling (matching colors).

If using clear vinyl on a white backing, you should be able to calibrate it (profiling in opposite dont make sense). Windows Perf is hard to calibrate anyway.

Have you filled the print head after replacement? Does the nozzle test show up not a single line? Have you plugged the cables correctly (right direction)? The flat cables are easy to check, they have open metal contacts to one side only, as the connectors on the head have too. Correct cables...

Which printer? Your description is like „my car is not running“. Nobody have a chance to help you.

Pantone is a color system created to print colors which cant be achieved with 4 color offset printing. Pantone colors are spot colors created by mixing 18 (as far as I remember) base colors according to specific recipes. You will never achieve all pantone colors with a standard solvent, UV or...

The difference between SC545EX and SC540 is not only the firmware, there are hardware differences too. Shure you really have a SC540 with a SC545 Firmware?

This machine was named Designjet L26500 when released, was later renamed Latex 260. It is second generation, and I would not invest in such a machine. The differences between second and third generation was huge.

For example for Summas, it doesn´t matter. The basic graphics language DM/PL is the same for 30 to 40 years now. But newer models have options which can´t be driven by older drives, for example additional OPOS-Features like OPOS XY, OPOS Barcode and so on. I would give it a try.

I like the 80600, but when wanting to print white, forget any eco solvent printer. Eco solvent white does not work good. For example you will need a lot of passes (low speed) to have an acceptable white density. I‘m in the printer support business for more than 20 years, never have seen someone...

I cant explain basic printer technology in a few words. There are several possible reasons for banding, and with some of them IPC will help to reduce. It is NOT that the SPV will have banding everytime, and the SPi never. For example you need to be much more precise with adjusting the feed of...

You can edit XML- or plt-files with standard text editors like wordpad.

Regularly, if the pinch roller is in the correct position, is the flat cable which connects the main board to the tool carriage damaged. Even the sensor could be defective, but most of the time it is the cable.

Remove the cutter from the production manager and add it new.

The dongle will work with another compatible Mac, and with the same version of Flexi on Windows too, as long as the dongle is USB, and not ADB. But it will be difficult to find installation files. What version was your last one?

There should be red or green dots on the outer rollers, they are slightly conical, and should be set with the marking to the outer side. The inner rollers are flat, and should be without marking.

Depends on what do you want to do with it.

A VP300i should be EOL since around 10 years, as far as I remember. You will run into problems with any manufacturer, not only roland. I told you what will be the problem with holding old software available: Lots of this RIP-Software will contain third party modules (for example the...

Lot of people will not run their machines to the ground. They want safe production, and wont run into trouble because a spare part or a software is not available anymore. They not only pay thousands of dollars for their machine, they earn money too with that machines, so it pays for itself in...

You are not a consumer if driving a large format printer for business. Why should roland send a CD for free or set up a download for free to let you continue using an outdated printer to earn money yourself? I think some people around here have a strange egoism that only they have the right to...
