Replaced the cap top, soaked the head for a couple of hours, and did a Normal Clean. I've got yellow now!!

No yellow....

Experts! My VP-540 has sat idle for a number of months, it was left turned on so it would do the automatic clean cycles. I've cleaned up the cap tops, soaked the heads overnight, done a manual clean, a couple of medium cleans, and a powerful clean to have a very faint yellow (almost white) on...

Final Resolution: I had the local Roland Tech install the print head, new print head cable, and dampers. In the process of installing the print head, there's a clear plastic cover that protects the top of the print heads. The print head ribbon cables run through an opening on the right side...

Thanks for the checklist! The temps and humidity at the shop are a stable constant. I learned that lesson with some weird color mixing on prints. The heads are always clean, they get cleaned between jobs to eliminate unwanted ink coverage. Finally, the media is the same media I've been using...

Update: After replacing all the cap tops, I'm still having deflection issues. <insert primal frustration scream here> So, it looks like it's a new print head! After reading the, more updated version of the service manual I have...

3 of the 4 are originals. I replaced one (now I can't remember which one) a couple of years ago.

I'm getting some cyan over spray when printing. I've done a couple of manual cleanings, followed by numerous regular cleanings, and a couple of medium cleanings. I soaked the heads overnight and did another cleaning with no improvement. All 4 print heads look decent in the print test, but when...

Any preference to material?

I'm wanting to wrap the sides and back of a "road" style bicycle helmet with reflective vinyl. It won't be a full wrap, just the back, sides, and part of the front. I was thinking of cutting strips of white reflective vinyl about 3 to 4" tall, wrap the "ribs" of the helmet, and then cut out the...

HELP! What I print on media does not always appear on my monitor. I've set Versaworks to Spot Color and Colormetric based on suggestions from previous posts. What should I do first? Calibrate the monitor or load an ICC profile? The next question is What ICC profile do I load for the...

I had this problem about a year ago on my 540. I had to clean the strip and re-adjust the voltage. If you look in the archives under my name (ScottB), you'll find the thread.

VersaWorks Gurus, I'm printing and cutting 3inch round magnets (Magnum DigiMag 0.20 if you must know) and I'm having to have the printer cut twice around each magnet. This is okay but here's the funny part. The printer goes through the first cut pass on each "print" and then returns to the...

Thanks for posting the pics of bad banners (and a highly accessorized car)! I find the examples humorous, although, somebody had to pay for that advertising! How long does it really take to run schpelll cheque before hitting the print button? My new goal in sign making, is not to have any of my...

I've been experimenting with perf cutting on my VP540. I've run into the same issue with the stickers falling out, getting ripped, or even causing carriage stoppage. For small stuff, short deep cuts (all the way through) and numerous (more than default) "connections" help to hold the sticker in...

GOOD NEWS! After a swabbing of the sensor, an entire afternoon of checking/adjusting voltage levels, and numerous crop mark tests, I've managed to find four crop marks! I have learned a few things. 1. Let the ink dry for about 10 minutes before adjusting voltage on the board. 2. Verify voltage...

Just learned this the other day when I had issues with blues printing out purple. Check the Convert Spot Color and Convert Special Color (Value specified color) boxes are "checked" by selecting Edit>Queue A (or B) Properties>File Format.

UPDATE: I've swabbed the sensor with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol, ran a crop mark cut test on a single graphic, and still missed the crop marks. I'll check the voltages again after I run a quick job that doesn't require a Print-dry-cut function, I'll check the voltage again. I'm missing out on...

I also recommend not to juggle running chain saws while walking across broken glass in bare feet while carrying the bottle of permanent stain... Ready for a laugh? The first time I emptied the drain bottle, I poured it into the toilet in my Wife's bathroom. Maybe now is a good time to mention...

If you drain the bottle frequently, and carry the bottle with BOTH hands, there's little chance of an "incident".
