Hey Richard, how about posting a photo of your handy work? Could be helpful to others here! :rock-n-roll:

Well, the cable swap is one way to determine if the problem is the PRINT HEAD or something else, if the swap procedure is done correctly (without zapping the fuse), and the static-blurred image transfers to the other print head you know it's NOT the print head that is bad, however if there is NO...

BUMP - I want to hear the answer also???? :smile:

Very, Very nice work :thumb:, love the graphics! Because these are Cut & sew, what is your min. order on something like this? Costs? My Army unit I served with in Vietnam is having a reunion in DC in September, I was thinking we should get some special shirts made like these (thoughts)...

Yes, the two small surface mount fuses are loacated on the main board in the back of the printer. If one of the two fueses is blown (open), you need to replace it. They are very small and difficult to solder if you don't have experience with theses very small SMT electronic components. If too...

Yep, that's what they did for me, also some of their solvent printable fabrics are listed as 58" and 126" wide, and they slit them to 54" for me ultrasonically to eliminate fraying and head strikes. Good company. :thumb:

:Welcome: to the BEST little Sign Blog around! Lots of goods folks here and for the most part are very helpful, we have a few bad apples like in every bunch (they will show themselves very soon). :Welcome: from Texas!!!!

No, the fabric is coated, the ink stays on the surface. :smile:

Player (Richard)........... YOUR FIRED! For working on your SP-540V and NOT wearing proper static protection while dragging your feet on the dirty carpet and ZAPPING your print head with static electricity. You know better, you have been warned that your printer...

MikeD - I had the same problem finding good info printing on fabric with my Eco-Sol printer (Roland SP-540V), doing a google search I discovered a great company called Fisher Textiles, they manufacture many different fabrics which have a special coating on the surface which allows them to be...

:goodpost: Please slow down and read all the posts or you are going to mess up! Player had clearly told you where the fuses are located (see above in red), also read his thread, he is going through the same problems RIGHT NOW. USE CAUTIION when working on the electronics, make sure the power...

Hey Richard, I'm just trying to help, I'm sorry to hear about your problem, and how it has escalated. Many times on here people have posted about the misting-blur problem, and some time when they change or wiggle the print head cables, it fixes the misting-blur problem. However there are...

Yes, do you have a multimeter that has a continuity setting? My multimeter has a continuity setting, when set to continuity, the meter makes a beep if you have continuity (closed circuit). If so, set the meter for continuity, and hold one probe on each side of the fuse, if you get a continuity...

Are you sure you didn't transpose (flip) the ends of the cables changing pin orientation?

Yes, the process of elimination procedure to check for a bad print head is to swap the print head cables, if the print head is the problem, swapping the cables will make NO difference. However if the blur is then transferred to the Yellow/Magenta image, the problem is either the cable or the...

Yep, that will tell you if it is the print head or the cable/electronics. If the blur stays on the CYAN/BLK, after swapping cables, you know it's the print head! Please use CAUTION not to BLOW the fuse, or you will have another problem! :thumb:

What does your test print look like, do you have this problem when you make a test print (post photo)? I have not had this problem myself, however I read about it in the past (on here), use the search function. And I believe it was related to a bad print head cable and or static. Being only...

As others have mentioned, never heard of Design Art Pro, but also like others have mentioned, you should look into getting NEW software that is more commonly used in this industry, you can find older versions of Illustrator or Corel on ebay CHEAP, and both will do a better job for you using the...

Did you print the image on the right on your printer? It almost looks screen printed, I don't think I have ever seen ink that thick from my SP-540V. :help
