Has the humidity spiked in your area recently? I would take a reading of the humidity in your shop to see if it is within range of the printer specs. If the humidity is too high, it makes the ink take much longer to dry which results in the ink pooling and mixing. A perfect environment will...

Check out Aardvark Imaging in Denver, CO. They do a lot of outdoor signage for national parks etc. I believe they warranty their outdoor signs for 10 years. They use proprietary methods and materials to make these signs bomb proof and stand up to the elements and poorly behaved tourists.

You can try to shim the cartridge so that it is slightly tilted towards the needle. This will allow the ink to fill that part of the cartridge more and should allow the ink flag to stop hitting the "no ink" sensor. Some Roland models don't use the chip to tell if the ink is low and I think your...

The Arlon DPF8000 and DPF9000 are designed for sustained temperatures up to 225 degrees F. Either one will probably work for your application.

There is a groove in the chassis of the machine that lines up perfectly with the encoder sensor. If you can get the bottom of the encoder into that groove it should be easier to thread it through the sensor.

The only thing that will be messy is emptying the waste bottle. I have seen many of them dropped onto the floor which makes a mostely permanent mess. Other than that, there is no risk of a mess changing the inks or anything like that. Depending on the size of the room and whether it has good...

Give us a call. I can have one drop shipped to you directly. I'll be honest and say they are way over priced. That sponge is just catching ink that falls from the maintenance station so that it doesn't build up and leak from the printer. You can just as easily use paper towels or any other kind...

You're on the right track. The head is definitely clogged and the only thing that is going to free it is head soaks, cleanings and flushing. You could try to get it professionally cleaned but in my experience, they don't do any better than manually flushing with a syringe. Both ways have about a...

Hiker Grommet Machine - I personally use these machines and they work great. It also ships free and comes with 500 grommets and washers in any color you choose.

Sounds about right. If you go through a router on your network, it's probably setup for DHCP which is normal but your machine most likely doesn't support it. So you are setup with a static IP address on your printer and when a DHCP supported device connects to the router, it gives out an IP...

You're having network issues. What is the machine model and how are you connected to it?

It seems like fewer and fewer dealers are employing full time techs. The ones that do, tend to drop you as soon as your warranty runs out if you don't buy an extended warranty or new machine. I get calls from people all the time saying that they called the dealer they bought the machine from...

Start with the front power switch off, but main power switch on, then: Hit these buttons in order: Down, right, left, up, right, down, left Then press and hold these buttons while powering on the front switch: left, right, down You have to do it within 5 seconds so it might take a few tries...

The tech manual doesn't show that error or any corrective measures. However, overflow is a computing term that usually means that the CPU is trying to store information that is too large for the memory capacity. Are you sure you installed the firmware and parameters for your printer onto the...

It sounds like your dampers are failing. I would start there. Also, check the cartridges to make sure they are not empty and just not flagging the machine as so.

If this is an older machine, the drive belt may be worn out and too loose. You can try to tighten it to see if that helps but you may need to replace it. The tightening screw is on the right side of the machine from the front. Other than belt tension, you could have bad CR cables, CR...

This may interest you: Electric Trimmer

In that case, change the cable for a new one to see if that fixes the issue. If not, you could have a bad Ethernet card in your computer or on the printer(rare in my experience). If you have another computer you can send a file from, that would tell you if the computer is messing up. If you can...

The boxes you get around your effects, like shadows and outer glow etc, are due to the rendering intents in your RIP not agreeing. So most RIPs default to processing vector and bitmap images differently which means when you combine the two, you get conflicts. If you set the rendering intents to...

It's almost always either a failure in the network or you are using the RIP while printing function and the file size is too big to process fast enough. Are you hooked up to the printer directly to the computer or through a network?
