Not sure if this will take care of the feed issue between images, but check that Full Width Scan is turned off in the user menu. At the very least, it will shorten print times by only printing data.

I would make sure Bordeaux knows you are currently using STS ink and let them tell you how to proceed. The plug and play thing is usually when you are running Roland OEM ink.

They have both been around for a long time and have good reputations. Just get it in writing and follow their instructions and document what you do with photographs, just in case.

You do a head wash in service mode. However, before you switch, considering the following. Are you currently using OEM or aftermarket ink? If you are using OEM, before you go to the trouble and expense of switching to aftermarket inks, you need to consider a couple of things. What is your...

Try removing the encoder strip from the printer and clean it with a microfiber cloth and acetone until it is squeaky clean and there is no ink on the cloth when pulling it through the cloth. Then redo all the calibrations, including Initialize the limit. Acetone removes ink from the encoder much...

You should post your solution in the name of sharing... That's what this forum is all about!

Excellent point! Check your conversations.

As Roland doesn't appear to have an exploded view document for this printer, I can't find a part number, so I don't know how you will be able to find the actual part. You can fabricate something, as it's probably just a 90 degree angle piece. As both the previous suggestions are more of a...

Or use a small tie wrap to close the switch arm permanently.

Probably a blown fuse on the mainboard, as you suspect. See the attached pic for the location of the fuse. It's in a holder and can be replaced. You can get replacement fuses here. https://www.solventinkjet.com/product-page/printhead-fuse-3-15-125v-quick-blow-fuse

Hard proof, no speculation! Question answered!

The 20/20 ink for Mimaki that comes in cartridges is solvent ink, not UV. In addition to the printer probably not recognizing the ink chip, the Roland is an eco-solvent printer. As there may be other differences, such as viscosity of the ink, this may cause unknown issues, as I would think the...

Who did the rebuild for you?

The scan motor error is result of the cut carriage ribbon folding up and causing an abnormal load on the scan motor. The motor itself is almost certainly OK. The guide channel the cut carriage runs in is likely dirty and somewhat sticky. First, remove the encoder strip so you don't damage it...

1. Try printing a different file. 2. Delete all the files in the Versaworks input and job folders. 3. You can try re-installing Versaworks. 4. If these don't work, it likely the network circuitry is starting to fail. This is a well-known issue with the mainboard on this model. Search this forum...

Delete all the jobs in the Versaworks jobs folder, all the queues. Often a file that has ended up with some issue will cause Versaworks to hang up.

3961 is cast and 3165 is calendared. Unless you are under the gun timewise, I would request another roll of 3961 from a different batch/lot number. Alternatively, use a different brand of hi-tack cast vinyl. Vehicle wraps should done with cast vinyl, both for durability and ease of installation...

I've had a batch of Oracal in the past that printed like that. Manufacturing issue. If other medias are fine, hit up your dealer and make sure the replacement roll has a different batch number.

I would suggest you post this in the Roland forum. You are more likely to get response there.

That looks like media contamination or bad media. Have you printed on any other media to see it the issue is still there?
