yeah - I use solventinkonline Jorge is the man.

I just cleaned my encoder yesterday. My prints started walking off the substrate. However. One color ghosting is a hardware failure.

go on ebay. 5.00 a piece.

The signs of bad ink or most likely a bad head.

Welcome from Maine by way of Sylvania, Ohio.

I hear you on the bar Artbot. I still use it. I've had dampers lift off the head manifold. The large screen dampers are the same height as the normal dampers they have a larger screen to allow a larger volume of ink to pass. I'm not talking about the BIG dampers (aj 1000) that have...

solid advise.

This has plagued my roland 745 since day one. Regardless of OEM or aftermarket inks. It's a constant battle, but I've had this problem licked for a few years now. First thing is to use large screen dampers. (ebay or solventinkonline) I do not get drop on on eight pass or more, but on...

Welcome from Midcoast Maine.

I too have an imageedge. I like it. It's awesome for cutting coro and foamcore. Also great for cutting large stickers jobs in a flash. For banners I stick with the Fotoba.

sounds like your head was on its way out. Usually when an ink kills a head it happens over time. The head clogs and continues to fire. The head then overheats and dies. A head wouldn't burn out instantly from a different ink. It's prolonged starvation that will kill ahead via the ink...

I had a head blow with 1200 shots on it. 1200. I was using oem ink.

I've used Solaris for many years with no problems at all. I have used other inks that blew heads on my Roland, but never with Solaris. I have had heads go while using solaris, but not due to the ink. Just their time. Did you get a drop of ink on the pc board of the head? There's no...

Everything is networked here. Has been since day one. I have versa works on a PC that I access on my mac via remote desktop. The hot folder is on my mac. Never have a problem. I run standard staples network equipment. Nothing fancy.

I just picked up a 645 to compliment my 745ex. Needs new heads. GREAT deal on it. Awesome printer.

Ed @ Patton printing. They're a dedicated label printer. 313-535-9099

that is odd. Where you dressed in a batman suit or something?

If the motor screaching very loudly when running and you'd like a new one. Go for it. If its quiet and humming along. All is well. You could have one one on hand if she blows up down the road. My Roland motor has a life of around 1500 hours. I replaced mine at 2300 hrs because it...

Congrats. We want blow-by-blow updates on this thing. Post video of it running too. I'm excited and it's not even my printer. haha. such a print-nerd I am.

Slightly off topic, but has to do with Roland. The fuji heat controller in my 745 died. I called Roland for some tech help. They told me that the Fuji controller was $2,000 dollars and that they don't have them in stock. They couldn't get them and that I'd need to find a used roland...
