Joe House: I think we can agree that we disagree on certain things. I understand you believe they are charging a fair price for their products and service I on the other hand do not see that way! Thanks for your opinions Jim

strypguy: Thanks for the tip Jim

Mervin: My old ribbon cables for the print heads were 7 1/8" in length but the new ribbon cables they sent me are 13 1/2" in length so I cannot use them and fit they under the plastic cover. Question how do you know which end of the ribbon cable goes into the head socket? Thanks Jim

Joe House: The Roland Dealer seems to charge $100.00 bucks and up for everything they sell. A trip charge from the Roland Dealer to me is $300.00 dollars and I think I am between 6 and 7 miles away. That's just crazy I refuse to pay it and that's why I learned to take care of my printer and...

I purchased four New ribbon cables for my SP-300V but the new ones are 13 1/2" long and the original cables are 7 1/8" long Using the New longer cables makes it very hard to get the plaster cover over them. I have checked a few suppliers but they all seem to have the newer longer ribbon...

GYnit111 Crimping on a spade electrical connector and then cutting one leg off his exactly what I was thinking to make it a little easier to solder it on. I could not find any 1.6 amp fuse so I ordered them on line and I should have the correct fuse my Monday or Tuesday. I decided against...

VanderJ: I agree it's not a good idea to use difference size fuses. I am going to use a 1.6 amp fuse but it will be a glass type fuse. I will be using an inline type of fuse so that if it ever blows again I can simply remove the inline fuse and replace it. I have two of the Roland original...

John: As long as it works I guess that's the important thing. Jim

Remember the head rank number on the clear piece of plastic that holds the box with the head in it together. Make sure you enter all the numbers and ..... small series of dots before changing head. This part was really very simple once you have entered the "Service Menu " Do you know how to...

GUnit111 Thank you for explaining just how it works. Now it makes complete sense to me. This morning I went to 3 auto parts stores and 1 electrical supply house looking for the 1.6 amp glass fuse but so far that is hard to find. In a perfect world the 1.6 amp would be great but I if I can't...

The F-2 fuse on the SP-300V is 1.6 amp. My question is an 1.6 amp fuse from an auto parts store the same being that it's only for 12 volts? or am I looking for a 1.6 amp fuse for 120 volts? The fuse is blown because when the new print head did not print I started checking the ribbon cables...

GUnit111 Question when you replaced your fuse with a 1.6 amp inline glass fuse from the auto parts store was it for a 12 volt system? I went and purchased an inline fuse holder and the only thing I found close to a 1.6 fuse was a 2 amp glass fuse but I am wondering if I can use this since the...

I have been using CorelDraw for over 15 years now and I do like it just not verson X-8 which just seem to freeze up the screen almost everyday. I keep thinking one of these updates should correct this problem because it very annoying when you are in the middle of designing something and it...

I just purchased a new DX-4 solvent print head from DIGIprint Supplies in Belgium and the price I paid was $522.17 plus shipping FedEx to the USA. It arrived very well packaged and the head ranking numbers you need to use are printed on the clear plastic cover that holds the print head box...

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and advice with me. I am going to go to the auto parts store to purchase a fuse and inline holder. I will give it a try. I really was not looking forward to removing all the ribbon cables and taking out the main board. Jim

Could you please explain how to do put another fuse on top of the original fuse? I do have a shop with plenty of tools and a very small soldiering iron. How hard is it to remove the main board from the printer or did you some how solder it in place. If I could find a tutorial I believe I could...

I need to have a blown fuse changed and this is beyond my scope of work level. I am thinking of sending my main board to Mac Media Corporation for the repair If I can figure out how to remove it without further damaging it. Jim

I have contacted a company called Mac Media Corporation and they take the old board and correct any problems for $199.00 dollars. Has anyone used them in the past. Just wondering before I try and remove the main board and send it off to them. Jim

I upgraded from X-5 to X-8 a few months ago and I thought at first it was just me getting used to the differences between the two versions so I gave myself some time to learn to use it! The amount of times the program just seems to freeze up and won't doing anything other then give a message...

Is this fuse soldered on the board? Do Roland techs change F-2 fuses on the board in the printer or do they want you to purchase a new main board? I am waiting for new ribbons cables for the printer heads to arrive before I even think about trying to change the F-2 fuse myself. The fuse was...
