Applying an existing profile to a swatch print for ICC-measurements is a bad idea ;-) ,because that can falsify the measurements. You need to create a media in the media manager or select one, do the linearization, and then very important select "Density Control only" in the Color Management...

It is not possible to create ICC-Profiles in Versaworks. You need a separate software which is capable to create CMYK-Profiles. You need to create a media, set ink limits and do the linearization in Versaworks, but the profile needs to be created in a software like i1 Profiler, and needs to be...

Do an OPOS Calibration through the OPOS-Menu.

The are thermistors who are checking the fill level of the ink reservoirs above the printhead. But there is one reservoir for two print heads, so the fill level of the reservoir should not be the problem if one head prints ok, the other not. There is a slight modification of the print heads for...

A lot of the parts of the 500/700 and 550/750 are identical, others are different. A few parts are modified for the 550/750, but can be used for 500/700 too. Specially the carriage and carriage rail has undergone huge modifications. And, because of the 550/750 are successor of the 500/700, the...

Do you use original ink, or third party ink? If third party, it could be that you run into that "saving and comparing serial number"-thing.

Have you updated your firmware shortly? Or have you switched too third party ink? Since a revision of the firmware some years ago, Mutoh printers save the serial number of the ink chips. As soon as a cartridge is empty, and a new one with the same serial number (for example a copied chip) is...

Factory calibration says nothing about the age: when the units are delivered, they are certified for maximum precision for two years, than - depending on the requirements - they should need a factory revision. Could be that the unit is older. But a lot of the users do not make any re-calibration...

If the unit is in really good condition, it could be a good choice. A little bit irritating: the unit is branded with "Gretag Macbeth". The swiss company Gretag Macbeth was the original inventor of the i1, but Xrite have bought that technology very long ago, since more than 10 years. Could be...

Because that printer needs specific coated media, the selection of available vinyl or banner is small and expensive, as the inks too. Even if laminated, it will not last as long as solvent, Latex or UV-Prints. That printers are meant to print mainly on paper or canvas.

The i1 pro device can be used for both. Be shure to buy a „Pro“ device.

If a new knife havent solved the problem, you should try to adjust the coil. Find „coil setup“ in the cutters menu, select knife landing, set the value to zero and increase it step by step. Watch the knife tip until it is lowered down to the cutting strip. Add another 4 units and press enter.

Is there any light source around what could irritate the sensor? Had that issue sometimes with units of different manufacturers, that a spot light or light from a roof window has leaded to irritation of the sensor. Not with a roland so far, but just as an idea to check for. you can perhaps try...

Some of them are OEM delivered with printers, that causes the difference in the names. i1‘s are differently equipped and licenced, but for Flexi only the basic i1 Pro unit is needed, because there is no additional software required. I would not buy a very cheap, very old unit, because they...

Thanks for your feedback. The best way to have good colors is to create an own ICC-Profile for every media and print mode used. Flexi Subscription has an easy to use ICC-Profiler integrated, only an i1 or other spectrometer is needed.

Regularly, files are exported with ICC-Profiles embedded which describes the work color space of Corel, Illustrator or other Design Apps. Not shure if the outdated EPS-file format could contain ICC-profiles as well, but PDF, JPG or TIF could. Flexi uses that profiles as input profiles to...

No chance.

Even an older Summa is a better choice than the common low cost chinese cutter. But the contour cut functionality of the summa cutters have significantly increased with the newer models and OPOS X. So I would think about a newer Summacut or S-Class with OPOS X. Flexi regularly supports contour...

Do you have resistance too when trying to move the head when the printer is switched off? If yes, it is not a problem of the servo board. These motors could wear out.

Not shure if not having a look at the machine myself. I would inspect the connectors at the head visally.
