    I have been using an SP-300 with windows XP but I have a new computer coming that uses OS-7 Will there be any problems with updating the drivers? Thanks Jim
  2. Syringe connections question

    I have a few different syringes I use to draw ink from the bottom of the damper and also from the drain line under the capping station and I was wondering if anyone makes a kit that includes syringes and hoses that you can purchase instead of making up all these different connections...
  3. SP-300 cross contamination problem

    Problem solved The problem with the magenta back flowing into the yellow damper was caused by a blocked drain line. Once I replaced the cap top and the hose that connects to the pump along with a new damper for the yellow everything once again is working fine. I have a few different syringes...
  4. SP-300 cross contamination problem

    Inks I have never used third party inks ever!!!!! The printer has only used original Roland eco-sol max inks since the day it was new. I just replaced the magenta and yellow cap top and once again the yellow damper thinking that maybe a drain line was blocked. Because on a two headed printer...
  5. SP-300 cross contamination problem

    I have a SP-300 and I am trying to figure out what makes the magenta color back flow into the yellow damper? This is a two headed printer. I just installed a new yellow damper and I pulled the ink from the bottom of the damper and it worked fine. This morning the yellow damper is once again...

    Test Print This is the test print that I did and when I looked at it again I can see cross contamination on the magenta and yellow color and that is the color I am having an issue with.

  8. Color question

    I have an SP-300 and when I create new vector images I send them to the printer using RGB colors. For some reason the yellow are looking more gold then yellow. I have done a few medium cleanings which helped a little. I have also wiped down the encoder strip with alcohol. I would like to...
  9. Please help magenta not printing on SP-300v

    I would start at the dampers and see if there is ink in them and that it is the right color first. If there is no ink in the dampers try pulling from the line before the damper first to see if you can suck the ink through the line. You may have to purchasing a larger syringe other wise this can...
  10. Is the VersaStudio BN-20 right for me?

    SP or VP 300 If I were in your shoes I would look for a used either SP or VP 300 Many sign shops start out with this machine and then move on to something larger for doing banners and things like that. I purchase a used SP-300 over two years ago for $5,250.00 dollars and it has worked...

  12. Capping station question

    I noticed that when I manualy raise the capping station up under the heads that it is not coming level and one side appears to be lower. Is this something that I need to shim to raise or is it not a problem. Thanks Jim
  13. SP-300 manuel release to move print head.

    Thanks Robert!!!!!!!!!! I just lowered the capping station and clamped off the drain line and filled the cap top with cleaning fluid and then raised the heads up again. When adjusting the capping station back up into the heads are you just adjusting until it feels snugged...

  19. Encoder strip

    The colors on my SP-300 have a faded or washed out look to them and I was wondering if it could be time to replace the encoder strip. I have cleaned a few times without it making any difference. I have also done a powerful cleaning and a medium cleaning without it helping to improve the...
  20. Transfer paper

    BBworks Your comment was the following, if its a cut vinyl job then just cut it in reverse. Most vinyls are the same colour on the adhisive side, not including reflective and flourescent colours. I am using a Roland Versacamm and I am...
