  1. ValueJet 1204 No ink flowing through lines

    That's a diode not a fuse and it would make sense if you couldn't get continuity through it as diodes cannot be tested consistently while still attached to the circuit. They also only work in one direction. Using a diode tester is the best way to test them but I would put my money on it being...
  2. looking at buying a Roland SC-545Ex SolJet II opinions on it?

    That's too bad. Mimaki just had a major sale and was selling CJV150-54" printer cutters for $10,000. Unfortunately the sale is over.
  3. looking at buying a Roland SC-545Ex SolJet II opinions on it?

    If you have good credit, use the $8000 as a down payment and get a new printer. You would only need to finance around $2,000 - $4000 and the machine would be brand new with a warranty! The machine is decent but old. Six heads means a lot of head aches, no pun intended. Heads are expensive and...
  4. NEW Mutoh 1324X

    As a Mutoh dealer, Fellers is required to setup your machine which includes the alignments. The only alignments you should need to learn are the user side alignments and the installer should teach you that. Make sure the tech shows you the maintenance procedures and sets up the auto cleanings...
  5. Cutting Stencil on a Mimaki plotter CG-130FXII

    You need to use the half cut feature. That machine is not intended to cut all the way through. It's meant to perforate the material and you punch it out. Check it out in your user manual. I hate to say it but, I'm not super impressed by the feature at the end of the day. You will need to play...
  6. Gerber Edge running on flexisign 10 windows 7 empty evenly spaced bard on print?

    You are in demo mode on Flexi. You need to go into the Flexi install manager and type in the password for the software and it will switch to full mode.
  7. New Print Head Value Jet 1204

    A head heat error means something is shorting out which is why your fuse blew in the first place. Usually the short happens in the head cables but it could be anywhere from the head to the main board. The fact that you put the old head in and don't get the error could be an indicator that the...
  8. Roland Ink Scam?

    The way the cartridge tells the machine that it is empty is a little plastic flag pops out and pushes a little lever. That flag will move in and out depending on the angle of the cartridge as well so if your machine is not perfectly level, it can cause the cartridge to flag the machine early. I...
  9. Replacing a DX-4 Head

    It's in the dealer agreement. We used to actually get Roland parts from a Roland dealer as we are not an official dealer for them. Roland found out and threatened to terminate our partner's dealer agreement if they continued to sell to us. Roland is very active in keeping people on their parts...
  10. Replacing a DX-4 Head

    Official Roland dealers are not allowed to but you can sometimes convince one of their techs to moonlight for you. You will probably have better luck with an independent tech or a smaller dealer. I recommend doing it yourself. You would be surprised how many people do it successfully.
  11. check this out

    Always request non-spliced vinyl. It is a common request and easily accommodated. As a supplier I never send out a spliced roll without asking the customer first.
  12. Question pumps

    Hook a syringe up to the input tube and push cleaning solution through. If it flows all the way through into the waste tank, it's not clogged. If it doesn't push through, you need to unclog it. Other than that, all you can do is watch the waste tube to see if ink is flowing through when it does...
  13. Need Help Nozzle drop out on Mimaki jfx200

    I agree with the above. Ink should come out when you do the air purge. Either the air pressure is off or the ink supply is malfunctioning.
  14. Mimaki jv 150-130 issues

    Ink starvation during the print is almost always bad dampers and/or you have an air leak along the ink supply route. What does the sound you hear sound like?
  15. Need Help Mutoh VJ1204 New printhead zero nozzle

    Yup. To the printer, everything is working perfectly. It just doesn't know that the signal is not making it all the way to the head.
  16. Light streaks on print media

    Those streaks are caused by the media buckling during the print. Turn the heat settings down and make sure the vacuum is set to high and it should fix the issue. The post heater can be cranked all the way up but the pre and platen heaters should be adjusted to be a high as possible without buckling.
  17. Need Help Roland SP 300 Printhead Replacement

    Down, Right, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left all in order Then press and hold Left, Down and Right at the same time while powering on. You have about 5 seconds to finish it so it might take a couple tries.
  18. Need Help Roland SP 300 Printhead Replacement

    What do you mean by, "Select the #2 print head?". Do you mean you need to get into service mode?
  19. Roland XC-540 not printing crop marks

    I'm not sure why that would happen but I have run across issues in VersaWorks where if you are using a paper profile rather than a vinyl profile, it will deactivate some of the cutting features. Try a generic vinyl profile and see if that helps.
  20. Need Help Mutoh VJ1204 New printhead zero nozzle

    The head cable error means there was a short and shorts blow fuses. You need a new fuse on the main board. It's a 750mA 125V quick blow fuse. If you are lucky, you have a later version of the 1204 which has a sockets fuse in which case you can just pop a new on in. If it's older though, you will...
