Software issue is the problem. I had a friend who is a Roland tech tell me that my SP-300 would work fine with OS-7 but he said the problem is the ColorRip software will not work with OS-7 I can change my SP-300 to an SP-300 S or V model by changing the dip settings inside of it and then I...

I have owned an SP-300 for three years and I was using it with Windows XP with no problems. I have a new computer using windows OS 7 and was wondering if I am going to have a problem finding a driver. The Roland site only lists drivers for XP Now wondering if I may also have to keep the old...

Jesus: The problem becomes how do you know which after market wipers work and which ones won't without going through the trail and error method first. The cost between the Roland wipers and the after market stuff is really not a great deal of money for the problems it might create. I really...

Since I just had the Roland tech out here yesterday I think I can answer that question for you. I used after market wipers and because they were just a little bit thicker then the Roland wipers the carriage they ride on was hanging up each time it was trying to work. It would make a wild sound...

My printer is an SP-300 which was new in 2003 but after talking with the tech he told me something I did not know unless I understood him wrong he said you can still purchase an SP-300 from Roland new which I did not know!! I thought they were discontinued along with the VP models in favor of...

Well the tech showed today right on time and really need a first class job of installing a new ribbon cable while explaining to me just what he was doing and why. Really a very nice guy who also checked over the entire printer and changed the following parts, scraper, cutting knife blade...

Three years ago I was in the exact same place you are in now with an SP-300 that I had purchased. If you have any questions please contact me and I will be more then happy to help you get up and running. Jim Hill

Thanks to everyone for their input on the fees. The original trip fee was $300.00 dollars until I told him that was to much money for a ten minute drive from their place of business and then he told me he would ONLY CHARGE $150.00 plus the two hour minimum fee of $145.00 @ hour. When I...

I need to have a ribbon cable replaced on my SP-300 and the local Roland service tech just contacted me to set up an appointment and to go over their fees. Total charge based on two hours $490.00 dollars Parts $46.85 and the balance is the trip fee and labor rates based on a hourly rate of...

Suncity Signs: Are you sending your images and artwork to the printer in cymk colors or rgb colors? Also which ICC profile and media are you using? Thanks Jim

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and help Color management is very interesting and I will be doing some reading to try and learn more about it. Doing a few simple tests with the exact same image but just changing the colors from RGB to CMYK and printing them with the Versacamm as really...

This is the part I love the best!!! Each time I try and understand color management one of the Big Problems I run into is each person does it a different way and I must admit I am not sure who is right!!!!!!!! Some have told me just design in RGB colors and others have said RGB colors are for...

I must admit that after reading about color management I think my head is about to split. The more I read the more confusing this whole issue seems to become. My printer is an SP-300 which uses Color Rip which is made by Wasatch. I have been using RGB colors for the vector images I create in...

I am using CorelDraw X-5 and when I create vectors I have only been using RGB colors and I send them to my Roland SP-300 in a post script. The material I print on is Oracal 3640-G if that maters. My problem is I am not happy the the red colors in RGB The other colors are fine but for some...

My SP-300 has stopped giving me a warning message when an ink cartridge is running low. I know there are two setting for continue or stop printing and I have it set to stop printing when the ink cartridge is low but for some reason it gives me no warning at all. When this happens I get cross...

The way I learned how to use CorelDraw was from Alex Galvez and all of his Free tutorials on UTube I would simply minimize my monitor screen and then open one of Alex's tutorials and then minimize that screen and simply follow everything he did over an over until I learned how to use the...
