Today my new encoder strip arrived and it is not for an SP-300 but an SP-540 Question can I simply cut it down to the correct size and then make a hole in it with a drill bit or do I need to send it back? Thanks Jim

Thanks so much for that information. Did you enter the service mode before you moved the print head assembly to the left? Or did you manuel lower the capping station first? So far I have not found a new Roland SP-300 encoder strip here in Florida. The local Roland Dealer has none in stock. I...

I need to find a Roland Dealer that stocks an encoder strip for an SP-300 and I have already tried Florida Graphics in Clearwater but they did not have one in stock. I also tried using Roland USA to locate another dealer here in Florida but it appears there are not many dealers left. I do not...

The encoder strip on the far right side when you are standing in front of the printer looks bend out of shape. I also noticed the encoder strip itself was not sitting correctly in the track where it should sit. Does the encoder strip just sit in the track or are the screws meant to hold there...

It's time to think about replacing a head on my Roland VersaCamm. Jim

I have a Roland SP-300 that I have owned for years and it works perfectly but my problem is that I am still using ColorRip software and since there are no upgrades any longer I have to use Windows XP to run it. I am thinking of purchasing Wasatch SoftRIP which would allow me to use Windows 7...

Stickerguynyc Special Thanks Your tip about changing the color settings made a remarkable difference in the red color. Your tip was to try the following, 0-99-100-0 for red The colors looked much brighter and sharper and a true red. I am now wondering which setting to try if I wanted to...

Mark Mark when you say there are several free color charts online please point me in the right direction to find them. Maybe a simple Google search? Thanks Jim

ColorRip software I always export files in an .esp to my SP-300 All of the vector images I create use C,Y,M,K, colors only. Since I am using ColorRip software and not VersaWorks software I always check the Spot Color box. Does ColorRip software have something similar to VersaWorks color...

Thanks to everyone who offered help. I have known for a while the the red and yellow print head showed some dropout but I now thinking of replacing this head. Do I purchase an OEM head or there other heads that are just as good? I know it is a DX-4 head made by Epson I believe. I would love...

Question Could it be a head going bad? My magenta and yellow head is showing some drop out. Jim

Thanks The profile I have been using for the past few years came from Oracal but the reds are getting lighter and that is why I thought I might try another profile. Maybe I will go back to Oracal again and see what else might work. Thanks Jim

What profile should I be using for 3640-G with my SP-300 The vectors I create are all done using C.Y.M.K. colors. Thanks Jim
