search the forums for it. having profiles that could properly print warm greys have always been an issue since it needs a good balance between the cyan, magenta and yellow colors to get the greys right. kelly

you can prime it by pulling ink from the pumps. but before i do that, i'd try to figure out where all the air come from first. i'd first take a look at the dampers.

please make sure that you actually have ink. after you actually do that, you can prime it. if you've had ink all this time, then there is a leak somewhere. but that is very unlikely since you're not complaining of ink being everywhere. kelly

lolz. common sense would dictate that since you can only see a few drops of ink on your lines - then either you have a major leak on your lines, or you are just basically out of ink. i thought you said that you already checked that? btw, your magenta is also out of ink. :omg2:

i wouldn't recommend it. there isn't any particular reason for just half of your head to suddenly clog up. what you could do is to use a syringe to pull ink from the pumps in order to make sure that the ink is flowing nicely.

if the damper looks fine. then it might also be an o-ring problem. you could replace the o-ring, or better yet - change the damper as you mentioned. if there are no problem in the ink system, the next possible culprits would be electrical in nature. check the cables, and/or swap them out like...

check to make sure that you have ink for that side. otherwise, there's probably a leak in the damper.

hi rooster! you've helped me quite a bit during my profiling process before. but you never mentioned "averaging the readings." how the heck do you do that? hehe. i'm having some problems getting good color from my higher resolution profiles. thanks in advance! kelly

i can finally see the ®!! tho my eyes are still burning a bit from the earlier pic you posted.:covereyes: kelly

yep. i'm unable to see the embedded images. with my firefox, it does show the link, but there isn't any thumbnail. clicking on it throws me to a login screen that says i don't have permission to access the file. i just assumed that it was a premium subscriber thing. btw, i do actually see...

it would have been nice if us normal members could see the pics as well. :Oops: kelly

yep. dale has been working on that one. he even sent over a couple for me to try when i bought a few Big Squeegee's. however, they are still under prototype stages. so, scary bugs are still lurking. feel free to contact him about it. he's very accommodating. :) kelly

i have an SC-540. assuming that your printer is connected via ethernet, there is a tool that lets you check what your machine's current IP is. also, in case you need to specify the IP address for your printer, i believe that you need to get into service mode in order to do that. but to...

hi all! for those who have used third party parts [probably from china] for your roland printers, i was wondering what kind of luck you've had with them. i have tried the dampers, and the capping station for my SC-540 [DX4 heads] and they seem to be performing ok. but my silicon wiper...

hey, how do you know when it's time to replace the felt? :thankyou: kelly

lolz. yeah. it appears he got banned. but it's the first time i've seen posts actually get removed. most of the time. the user just gets banned and the posts stays. :signs101: :thankyou: kelly

sorry, but i got lost somewhere in this thread. from where are you guys quoting rob's posts? kelly

hi craig! do you have an idea why it does/does-not happen? it would really suck if some of my BS installs had permanent pressure lines on them. kelly

wow. some of those bubbles must be half a foot across! ... sorry.. just.. couldn't.. resist. :Oops: kelly

i think that drawing ink from the pumps using a syringe is still your best best. bec it might clear up any clogged nozzles, and confirm if you have a good vacuum on your caps. sadly, i've never seen any videos, nor official instruction manual for it. i know about it bec i've seen my tech do...
