You're right Robert, the new Ricoh head has less DPI to it and it lacks the nozzle recovery function (the next nozzle replaces the bad one) so if you have a clogged or damaged nozzle - that's it, you cannot do anything to help it unless you change the whole head - one of them actually as it's...

I usually try everything to keep the customer, small job from him now large job later it depends how much time I have. You can always outsource these jobs.

frosted vinyl on the backside and laser engraving on the front filled up with colored epoxy, i'd overprice this method and offer a nice price for black decal

Encoder was changed - now the square is true square but both of the other problems are preset so I just asked for a refund, the machine is gone now and waiting for the refund. Tech promised an update on the forum about the problem, so I'm inviting him to join the thread.

I love how people beg for help and disappear when they don't need the site anymore.

Let me tell you my experience. I applied both latex and solvent (unlaminated) decals to my phone same design same size. They both lasted the same exact time. (versacamm ink / hp 310 latex) only difference was that the hp had much less vibrant colors and visibly bigger granules. Don't know why...

Try adjusting the printing temperature to max to see if it helps. Then you can go lower and lower to see the limit - you cannot always go with the specs as environment temperature is an unknown factor to manufacturers. I'm pretty sure changing pinch rollers makes no difference.

There are multiple ways you can do this, either with a 1 -laser engraver using double layer material like Rowmark (polished thin aluminum on a colored pvc sheet) 2 -cnc engraver like 3040cnc and use colored resin to fill up the lines 3 -you can buy copper plaque and use FeCl after a photo...

Why not print on self adhesive vinyl and apply it to the PVC sheet?

Nope, the VS, you said that you were emptying the waist bottle on your VS once in 6 month, but maybe its just me - not native English speaker.

Hi Canuck, is the VS able to produce significantly better quality in your opinion , was yours set up with light color or 2xcmyk?

I saw some beautifully performing Truevis machines but I don't like the fact that this printer doesn't have 'pass control' that can 'heal' banding. The VS can bypass a few clogged nozzles if they fail, so other nozzles will cover the bad ones. Currently I have high hopes with Mimaki150-130 - it...

You're not alone with a defective-on-arrival Roland printer...

This was exactly what I was told about my Truevis SG540, one of a kind problem and probably I'm the first person on Earth to have problem with a roland machine... Now it looks that i'm not the one. Got rid of it today. Wish you luck with yours.

In that case there may be air in the tubes, they allow some flow but not on high demand. Maybe.

Try bi-directional 300, if it works it means that your pump cannot keep up with the demand and needs to be replaced.

Tech came on Friday and actually found the Y encoder film was not installed straight- turns out the shaft is not bent. We are now waiting the replacement encoder from Roland. I see the same smooth/rough parts on your print, you should check the encoder - on my printer its on the end of the...

Thank you for the answers, I think I found the source of the problem. I printed some 10x10" squares - WIDTH is on spot but LENGTH of the sides are not equal, it varies between 0.01 and 0.02 inch, tech found the encoder was bent.

I guess I found my problem unfortunately I cannot resolve it so I'll just return my printer - the feed axis seems to be bent or have a figure 8 in it, I printet some 10x10 inch squares and the left side is not equal to the right side. It varies between 0.01-0.02 inch sometimes its the left side...

Thanks for your answer, the tech visited me yesterday (official roland dealer) and he wasn't able to fix the banding problem either, he keeps telling the what I call bidirectional problem is only material problem, but I call it BS, I received some sample prints printed with an identical machine...
