  1. SP300i - Cleaning Cycles

    Hi All Home-based 300i that is generally great but this thing cleans itself at least twice a day, seemingly at random times. I appreciate the benefit of cleaning (presumably having fewer issues with the heads) but it's annoying to have the printer firing up at 3am. Does anyone know if the...
  2. Margins on Roland printers?

    By margins I mean what is the typical profit margin in a print/cut machine. 10%, 20%, 30%...? I'm trying to get a sense of whether or not $1000 below MSRP ($13,995 in Canada) is good or not on a new SP-300i.
  3. Margins on Roland printers?

    Does anyone have a sense of the margins on the VersaCAMM line? Any idea what cost is on a SP-300i? Thank you.
  4. SP300i service manual?

    Anyone have this? Thanks.
  5. SP300i - Driver Install

    I think I figured it out - using TCP/IP Raw. Unless someone has a better suggestion. Thanks!
  6. SP300i - Driver Install

    I switched from a SP300v to SP300i. For cutting, I've always used SignLab CutPro. With the SP300v, I had the "port location" set to USB0002 and it would cut direct via USB, no issues. With the SP300i and it's ethernet-based connection, I cannot get SignLab to work - there is no valid port. I...
  7. SP300i service manual?

    Also looking for this, please!
  8. Dedicated cutting on SP-540v

    I use a SP300 primarily for cutting. For software, I find Signlab Shortcut to be simple to use and relatively inexpensive. Cheers.
  9. BN-20 Service Manual Needed

    Hi All Does anyone have a service manual they can send for the BN-20? I know it's a rare machine, but hoping...! Thank you GW
  10. Roland BN-20 - any owners? Thoughts?

    Given the issues I'm having with my SP-300, I'm considering switching to a BN-20. Does anyone use this machine? Thoughts? I don't do much printing (lots of cutting) and I don't need a machine bigger than 15". I'd also love to know what the margins are on these machines, anyone know? Thanks, GW
  11. Ink won't fill after moving SP-300

    Hi All, I have an SP-300 (converted to V) that was recently moved, requiring the inks to be drained. Despite my best efforts, I cannot get the ink to fill; pre-move it was fine. I've done the following: 1) replaced all 4 cartridges (genuine Roland) 2) replaced all 4 dampers (genuine Roland)...
  12. SP300 Cap height and wiper grinding

    Yes, by eye - each time you press the up arrow, the cap moves up by 0.25. When it makes contact (visually), you hit "enter". At least, that's how I interpret it. Cheers.
  13. SP300 Cap height and wiper grinding

    As per the service manual: Move the cap upward to the position that the cap contacts exactly to the head, then press [ENTER] to update the adjustment value. -When you press [up] key, the cap moves to the upward direction in 0.25 mm unit. -When you press [down] key, the cap moves to the...
  14. Versaworks SP300V - Increase Ink?

    Thank you for the tip - I don't see a MCVP profile, do you happen to know the filename? All the files in the drop-down on the "Quality" tab are "SPEcoMH_xxxxxxxxx.icc", but none of the xxxx's include "MCVP". Thanks again.
  15. Versaworks SP300V - Increase Ink?

    Thanks all. It's a SP300V and the decals aren't laminated. I've tested different blacks, but it's not only the black that's faded looking. All colors are the same.
  16. Versaworks SP300V - Increase Ink?

    Thanks - I tried both Max Density and Max Impact with similar (poor) results. I'll try setting overprint to "2" and see what happens. Thank you!
  17. Versaworks SP300V - Increase Ink?

    Hi All, New to Versaworks as I was using the Wasatch software previously. Is there a setting in Versaworks to increase the ink density? I've messed around with a lot of the native profiles and I've been using the MAX Density US setting, but the inks just aren't deep enough. My blacks are...
  18. OEM Parts Vendor Recommendations (Canada)

    Hi all, Any recommendations on a good vendor that will ship OEM Roland parts to Canada (or is located in Canada)? Seems like most of the local vendors are very overpriced. Thanks!
  19. SP-300: Vacuum off when media not loaded?

    Mine goes into a "reduced" vacuum mode, but doesn't shut completely off unless the machine is off.
  20. SP-300: Vacuum off when media not loaded?

    Has anyone come across a setting such that the vacuum can be disabled (off) when there is no media loaded? Thanks!
