  1. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    Here is another example with brown. Band is only in one spot running left to right. Printed a second one for the other side of the sign and there was a band in a different spot, it was a lot less noticeable, because I did a powerful clean. Hopefully someone can give me some ideas. I hate to...
  2. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    So, this has been going on since 2019 when I bought it. I’m currently on the second replacement head, I’ve clean the encoder strip and disk. I’ve pulled ink through the damper, choke clean, I just replaced the cap top (about every 6 mo). So I’m not sure what’s going on. I just printed a wrap for...

    Let me know how replacing the strip and disk works out for you. TIA
  4. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    I’ve replaced most of my rollers not long ago, so I doubt that’s it. I cleaned the encoder disk and it didn’t help. If I print in high quality / max impact, it doesn’t happen. But I’m not trying to print every job like that. It just takes way too long.. I talked to my tech, but he really wasn’t...
  5. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    So I just tried to print that black panel in high quality mode and there is absolutely not banding.. WTH? So I guess it’s only doing it in standard mode. Any ideas? I just checked and I replaced my captop (oem) at the end of June. So I just ordered a new one… I can remember if changing makes...
  6. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    It’s totally random and main only happens when printing black. Sometimes greys and browns. No other colors.
  7. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    Here’s what the print looks like now. Definitely got worse and there is additional banding running the opposite direction. I’ve never had it run that way. See a few inches below that D. It’s running front to back, along with a thin line at the right side running left to right.
  8. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    Hey fellas. So I cleaned both the encoder strip and disk. It seems to be worse. Now it looks like it’s running both ways. Ran some heavy cleaning cycles. No luck. Any other ideas

  10. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    Here is another example. It’s basically on every panel of this wrap I’m printing. It’s done this since I first bought it.
  11. Roland VS540 - banding/ color drop out

    Hey all. I have a VS540 in my shop since 2020. When I’m printing a panel for a wrap, i more than not get a band running all the way across the print. It only happens when printing black and sometimes grey. I’ve cleaned the encoder strip, doesn’t seem to change it. If I run a powerful clean...

    I just upgraded to win 10 and installed VW 5.5.1, when I try to select add printer, it does nothing. I’ve added the ip and sub net. I’ve also pinged the printer and it was recognized. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
  15. Vs540 getting random drop out in blacks and grey

    Randomly happens, mainly in black, but this time just in this grey area of 10 panels I printed. This has been randomly happening since I bought the printer in 2019. Any thoughts on a fix? Maybe encoder strip? I typically use the generic 2 profile in standard when printing on ij175cv3 and 40-c ...
