after reading through the posts in this thread, i think the users just wants their printer to work. and has been willing to pay for the parts that needs replacing along with the corresponding service fees. the tone hasn't been all that ideal, but you can't help but sympathize with that...

i don't get it. what's the point of this whole scam? just to piss us off?

sigh. if you hadn't pointed out that you've already tested the fuse, i would have been sure that was the source of your troubles. now, before anything else, what was the reason for repairing the headboard and replacing the heads before? are you sure it's not that again? i'm still putting my...

i just saw threeputt's avatar and it looks pretty much like speed energy's "S" :P but on a more serious note, with soo many global companies having as many log's/symbols... doesn't it bother anybody that sooner or later, you are bound to infringe on somebody's logo one way or another? -...

are you sure you didn't get any ink on the electronics, and didn't disturb the flex cables? disturbingly, i've seen this happen quite a lot of times.... routine maintenance, or replacement of a defective part + unknowingly shorting the electronics / cables = burnt fuse [or worse] good luck!

too bad. the link for the files has been taken out. :(

i'm having a headache deciphering what that sign behind the door is saying. :( is it even English?!?

hi, given that you've pretty much replaced most of the usual culprits, have you tried a different media? ...or turned off heating - just to troubleshoot?

i would put my money on an electrical problem. either on a loose/crapping cable or the head itself. i would like to hear how things turn out. thanks!

apart from agreeing with sticky sign's comments, i've experienced that generic vinyl 1's 1000mm per sec carriage speed is outright unrealistic. reduce your speed to 700 or lower to decrease banding. but from my experience, no amount of carriage speed reduction will reduce banding to zero under...

apart from any software RIP specific option, your periodic cleaning option is probably on. nothing else in your machine will make your unit automatically stop and clean during printing. i think that periodic cleaning is found under the service menu - which might explain why it isn't in the...

i would like to shake the cartridges as often as possible as well. i personally just do it about every month or so. but it's frustrating that the manual teaches us not to touch the inks once you put them in - in order to avoid air getting into the lines. yet we know that we have to shake it one...

the mere fact that ink suppliers [both oem and third party] ask us to gently shake the ink during installation means that there is and will always be differences in color over time due to settling. all we can hope for is that the margin of difference be minimal. also, inks do have expiration...

paper mache! yey. :)

hmmm.. that black test print looks like the one i had when i contaminated/shorted? my head with cleaning solution after soaking it. did this particular print head go through anything other than the ordinary cleaning/manual cleaning cycles? did it get worse after flowing cleaning solution...

thanks ragnabrok! i really appreciate the help. i'll try to take a peek at it at the 20hr mark. :P

i need SC-540 to automatically clean while i'm away hi! i know this has been discussed before. but i would like to know the exact stuff i need to do so that my SC-540 would initiate its cleaning cycle while i am asleep/out for the weekend/on vacation/etc. i hope you guys don't mind, but i...

hello all! just a basic question here. i use flexi production manager and under print mode, it gives you the option of using either CMYK (1 bit) or CMYK (2 bits). can anybody kindly give me the difference between the two or the impact is has on my print? thanks!

thanks for the info. now, i just have to figure out why the heck the local roland distrubutor keeps telling everybody the same thing. :(

wow. continuously? without any problems? no unusual wearing out of the heads / unexpected banding, even while printing solid colors?
