  1. Need Help Replacing wiper holder on vp300

    I've run into this issue before. Some wiper blades are too thick (non original), and these don't pass the wiper scraper. The motor that drives this wiper forward will keep turning thus hearing the gear grinding noise. I've measured some wiper blades I've purchased to be 2mm thick and some at...
  2. SP-300 Invalid Pinch Roller Position

    Had a similar issue with mine a while back. Left pinch roller error everytime a new media was loaded to get a media length reading. Cleaned the encoder strip (linear scale), and it worked. Ended up flipping this after a while when it came back then changed it when the new one arrived. Fixed my...
  3. Need Help Did I ruin my Roland SP-540v printheads?

    Sounds like you've got air in your lines. I would personally draw ink from each damper untill you get the air our of the lines. Then draw the ink again from both captops (obviously with the heads parked in the capping stations), draw gently. Ink will flow through the heads removing any traces...
  4. Roland tech broke my printer and hasn't fixed it

    I'd replace the encoder strip then go through the required set up and crop mark adjustments, which the tech should do otherwise don't pay the bill.
  5. Need Help Cannot read OPOS marks on glitter vinyl.

    I have taped around the printed squares using white vinyl, just small strips. The light still bounces off around the printed squares. This is enough to trick the camera.

    Hi Robert, I read an old post relating to a service manual for a Roland SP540i and was hopefull you would be able to send me a copy of this. The printer is a 2013 or 2014 model. If you are able to send me one I would be most appreciative. My email address is aandrade@iprimus.com.au Regards...
  7. Need Help Pixelation occurs when printer starts

    I sometimes get this on my Roland on the first print of the day. Ended up creating a colour bar strip around 15mm squares for each cmyk colour and repeated this for the entire length of the media width. Will always will print this strip first on any media for the first print of the day.
  8. Versacamm sp540v - pinchroll errors/changing the data cable?! PLEASE HELP!

    This is run through the service menu
  9. Versacamm sp540v - pinchroll errors/changing the data cable?! PLEASE HELP!

    You've got to remove screw on the right side and take the entire strip off. Carefull not to loose the spring on one of the ends (sorry just going by memory). There are metal plates that hold on to the ends. You can flip this to use the under side as long as it hasn't been used before and you...
  10. Versacamm sp540v - pinchroll errors/changing the data cable?! PLEASE HELP!

    Pinch roller error is usually the encoder strip. Have you cleaned or flipped this?
  11. Discussion Large dampers for SP540V?

    Thanks for your feedback. I'll put em in on the next change.
  12. Discussion Large dampers for SP540V?

    Has anyone here replaced their small dampers on an SP540 with large dampers? I remember having a tech out many years ago and he mentioned he can change the small dampers to the large ones. The only added benefit is the ink at hand. The metal plate fixed above the dampers will obviously be...
  13. Vinyl Cutter to pair with VG-540

    Support is definitely essential and the last thing we all want is to be left hanging in times of absolute need. Fortunately, I haven't had the need for any support, at the moment..... (nock on wood!). However, Graphtec was my next preference then the new Camm GR series.
  14. Vinyl Cutter to pair with VG-540

    Just to add another option in the mix is to consider a Summa cutter. Hands down a Summa cutter is the best. Previous cutter was an old CX24 which I used for years and its still going. But had an opportunity to get a Summa D160. Best purchase I made. I use versaworks and cut with the summa...
  15. Versacamm sp540v - pinchroll errors/changing the data cable?! PLEASE HELP!

    It's always handy to have pics (thanks Eduardo. G), I like how clean your printer is. Wish mine was the same!
  16. What is this printing technique?

    Looks something similar to Flexographic printing
  17. Roland VG540i Read this before buying

    I believe these excessive cleanings are due to the new heads they're using in the TrueVis lineup and have read a number of threads on their ink usage. Never had any probs with the DX4 epson heads on my old SP. Looks like a Mimaki or Epson solvent next.

    Awesome job... I'm a fan.
  19. Need Help How to connect a roland Xc-540 with cat5 crossover cables (I don't have internet) thanks!

    You can connect your pc directly to your roland using just a LAN cable. I have been printing for the last month connected directly to my SP540. You just need to set your IP and permissions on your pc and allow this through your firewall.
  20. roland gr 640

    I'd too be disappointed. Would most likely send it back for a refund and buy a summa.
