Do I need to flush or clean my system switching back to original Roland Max3 inks?
I understand i will need to run a few cleans and cross contamination between the inks may be an issue.
My inks as they stand are:-
Black one cartridge 0% one cartridge at 75%
Magenta one cartridge 20% one...
The supplier of my inks has offered a few options.
1. Change the printer back to their version of Max 2 inks.
2. Run it with a futher batch of their Max 3 inks and see if the problems persist.
3. Return to using OEM Max 3 inks.
I am a bit wary of changing to Max 2 as I feel this will affect...
I can only say one thing canva.com !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Four times today I have issues with files from Canva.
This is making people think they are designers but certainly is not helping us the signmakers/large format printers.

I have been back and forward wit a client over the last week.
They kept sending low quality raster images in a different format.
Magically they have found the vector file in a format I can cut from, once I told them I would have to charge for a redraw!!!
Boils my p*** just because they couldn't...
My biggest issue is with a new app called Canva.
Even my business colleague is a big fan. But she doesn't see the issues it brings trying to get the artwork ready for large format printing or cut graphics.

This is getting stupid with customers now.
How can I educate customers with the Raster and Vector?!!!
Sadly everybody and there dog is a designer now with all these online designing apps everyone is an expert.
HELP.......

All good again bar one little incident where last night the magenta on the right hand side lost a load of nozzles.
Turns out there was a little bit of air in the magenta line on that side and after one Super clean it was all good again.

I didn't want to change back but it seems inevitable if I want it back to how well it was originally printing.
I have noticed their is a huge update for versaworks to 6.19.2 & also Device and Media Files update.
Maybe, just maybe this will fix all my issues....

Well the tech came over yesterday, installed a new cap and serviced it.
He also carried out all the head alignments in service mode and set bi-directional in user mode.
He complemented me as everything looks as new and it is all set as it should be.
The prints are better but still not as when it...
No it didn't.
I realigned all the Bi-Directional values and this improved it slightly.
Sadly the Magenta has now failed completley as we think the cap has failed as the ink just ran out whilst printing.
This would be understandable as the magenta channels are along one side of the sealing edge.
SC
Update:-
I have carried out a few Super Cleans on the Magenta but it still isn't pulling in any Magenta on both lines.
I have an engineer coming over on Friday morning and he is going to change the Cap Top as he suspects this is what has failed.
This seems plausible, as the Magenta nozzles are...
On my RF 640 after doing a perfect nozzle test this morning, whilst printing some banners both magenta channels started to fail.
On removing the cover you can see air in both the magenta lines.
Whilst doing some cleans the magenta is not moving.
What should I do?
Thanks

Yes I have tried lots of different profile. with no difference.
It doesn't seem to be an issue with the profile, it is more regarding the way the ink is laid down and how much and maybe the ink itself.
SC
I posted this issue a while back regarding how my printer is laying down colours.
Over the last few months I have had one magenta nozzle deflected.
After it blocked completeley last week I carried out a clean and it all came back with no deflections, which was surprissing.
The prints are...
Does anyone know of where I could buy the insert panel outlines on various vehicles?
So I do not need to use cutting tape, or even worse freehand cutting on vehicles.

Many Thanks

I am doing exactly as you have said except I print bi-directional as it doesn't help and only slows down the print.
I am fastidious with keeping this clean and although it is nearly two years old now it looks like new.
This issue is to such a degree now I am thinking of flushing all the inks out...
Honestly I have altered heat settings with no difference and if I adjust the ink quanties the colours are not correct.
My substrates have not changed in the last 5 years.
I am running Nazdar inks but have also tried another supplier and they both have the same problems.
I never had this issue...
