  1. GR-540 Perf Cutting advice

    I bought the new gr2 for perf cutting. It's terrible. Waste of money. Machine is not the Roland quality I've been a custom to
  2. Roland vs 640 Ink Configuration

    When I purchased the VS-540i we went with the metallic inks. Switched to dual CMYK a few weeks later. Here is the PDF my supplier sent me on how to do it. It required a set of cleaning cartridges as well as the foam inserts that came in the ink slots when we bought the printer. Wastes some...
  3. Roland VS-540i Purchase

    You can still switch it to Dual CMYK. We originally had ours set up with white and after about a month we changed our minds. Our dealer sent us flush cartridges and the directions on how to flush the lines and change to Dual CMYK.
  4. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    My printer has fuse holders so I can just pop them out. On my previous printer we would just solder the new fuse on the back of the old fuse. If it were to blow again, just remove the piggy backed fuse and solder on another. See photos below. For parts on digikey i just narrowed down results to...
  5. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    I had some crossover issues when troubleshooting earlier. I switched head locations on the printer, which caused the transistor to blow. The root of all my problems was a bad cyan print head. Now that transistors and fuses are replaced, I am functioning on 3 printheads, awaiting arrival of a new...
  6. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    I replaced the resisitor today that was showing 0 on the OHM meter. That got the yellow and magenta print heads going again. Purchased the transistors from DigiKey.
  7. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    I purchased the machine used. This model had been discontinued for a while now, so there is no warranty. I have not replaced the parts yet. This is an extra printer so I'm not in a rush, and we are so busy in the shop it is on the back burner. Hopefully over Christmas break i'll get a chance to...
  8. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    I have some new transistors coming in today. I used to have a SP-540v, and i had to do the same thing. I had a bad print head that ended up blowing the fuses and transistors. Ended up replacing the print head, fuses, and transistors and then was good to go. I try replacing the resistors and...
  9. Roland VP-540i Fuse blowing

    The fuse for the Black/Cyan heads is blowing as soon as the printer is turned on. I've unhooked all the ribbon cables from all the heads, and powered on. The fuse for the Black/Cyan still blows immediately. The Magenta/Yellow fuse does not blow. Is there something else on the board that I can...

    What profile are you using in versaworks to print on this material?
  11. help roland sp300v yellow magenta not firing

    Replaced the transistor and fuse again, and was able to print continuously for about 2 hours. Transistor and fuse blow one the printer is sitting idle. Re-soldering all these pieces is getting old! Im left to believe the print head is the source of the problems...but that's an expensive thing...
  12. help roland sp300v yellow magenta not firing

    Transistor Blowing I am having the same issue. Fuse was blown so soldered on a new one. Fusr blew as soon as sub-power was turned on. Traced problem down to a transistor that was out. Replaced transistor and put another new fuse in, and was able to print one job. On the next job there was no...
  13. Versaworks; Won't recognize Cut Contour from Signlab 8

    VersaWorks Not Recognizing Cut Line If you use a color that is in the Roland Swatch Book, and have convert spot colors checked on in VersaWorks, VersaWorks will convert the cut line into a print color instead of recognizing it as a cut line. Try using a random RGB color for your cut line. That...
