Hey guys, I just spent some time contour cutting to sort of have a feel for it running it on the hybrid roland sp 300, again my past background was mimaki with summa plotter for contour cutting which worked amazing... I have a small problem understanding how Roland reads and associates the...

why won't you lay the ink twice with lower output percentages to heavier saturate the material ?

thanks for the reply, but why do we bother then designing in CMYK at all..., so you are saying that even if all my vector color fills are precisely assigned in CMYK values and sent to rip the rip will convert them to RGB then back into CMYK to output to cmyk printer..., this sort of makes no...

Success !, inks all loaded , encoder strip flipped , printer runs perfectly, gonna buy a spare pump and a new encoder strip to replace the old one...

I'm just wondering what sort of presets you guys use when ripping to Roland printer, I'm just trying with Eco-SOL Premium Cast 720 x 720, I found I am getting quite good color match..., not perfect but acceptable results... I'm a new Roland user with a used SP300 I just bought and currently...

thanks , that worked , did a complete clean up including the change of wipers..., I am just surprised that this unit has only one pump, I was hoping that it would be a standard pump as in mimaki , I think sp300i carries these pumps as well, but this is a single pump unit and saying I'm a Roland...

I did power off , still don't see the maintenance feature when I cycle through the LCD display..., and I still see the service report feature when I cycle through... it seems like it never reset to the default mode..., there is a feature roland default , do I select that ? any other ideas ? I...

Bought used, the past owner switched the lcd display control to service mode, I no longer see the maintenance option to change the wipers or to manually clean the heads... how do I switch back, is this model a bit older , I noticed most of Rolands use the ethernet connection to the computer, the...

PLEASE MODS - Remove this thread as this topic already had been posted, apologies ..., my mistake. thanks

I am not sure if that is free to obtain or not , but I am looking for a Service manual a PDF ? if that is free could someone PLEASE send it to my e-mail ... I would really appreciate it.. I am trying to replace a head on a SP 300 I know how to take care of it physically I just don't know how to...

now you have me thinking... I do not have much experience with mutoh at all , but I also heard from other users that these are great printers... What I really don't like about Roland is that it takes so long of default printer prep to the point of printing... it's like when you are sending a...

Robert, where would I get the aftermarket take up system ? and in regards to Mutoh what printer model is that ? 1324 ?

8,300 Hours that is fairly a lot lol, check this one out I just printed JV3 report it has now 20.5 Km of linear vinyl run and total of 18,349 hours lol , this thing is like a tank. So is that a good deal for that Roland for $8000 having only 1,300 hours ? sux it has no take up system...

it's for $8000 without takeup system, still waiting for the service report... how many hours is lots ? , ya gonna laugh but I work with a jv3 that has over 19 km of vinyl run, and it still runs... Looking at newer but used Roland to replace old JV3 which is showing it's wearing.

Sorry, actually Vector Doc was right it is the Myriad Italic version..., I was too fast and never previewed the italic version of that font, originally it was my first suspicion as well , it is nuts how they changed the lower case "g" between regular and italic, kind of unexpected... I guarantee...

Looking at a purchase of a used printer approximately 1300 hours in pretty good condition... Is it worth buying ? what is a high print time count in means of print hours for SP's? Is it pretty much half it's life span at 1300 ? I know nothing about Roland printers, but they seem quite...

thanks mate , that is it except for the lower case "f" looks different, but I will modify it. thanks again. CHeers !

Here is a font I came across on several occasions and I never remember what font its is, please help and thanks !

Well I got some contour cutting going but it is very difficult to get to scan all the point..., I have to hold the sensor up in order to successfuly scan all the registration points... Do I have to replace that sensor ? I tried to clean it with alcohol still having problems. Any ideas ?

I got some success last night with that sensor opos calibration..., the problem lays in the swivel how the sensor goes up and down, the plastic piece with hinge must be worn out because the sensor was gliding right on the vinyl when I raised the sensor just a bit it calibrated by the first...
