  1. Time/Money Saving Computer Devices

    Dual Display Port switcher - works across two computers, sharing mouse/keyboard and other options. Saves desk space. This shortcut keyboard is a real time saver. Only place I could find it was on Aliexpress and well worth the dollars. Able to change and control brushes on-the-fly, and more.

  3. Roland SP300v - can't access service mode - boots up on it's own

    Trying to help a friend with his printer, however we cannot get into service mode as the machine keeps booting up on its own when the main power switch is turned on. We're both stumped. See video for visual reference.
  4. First time doing a head replacement

    Thanks to some helpful members here, did my first successful head change about four months ago (Oct '22). And as curious minds have a need to know, did what comes naturally. Still not sure what the jet nozzle plate is made of, and at this point wondering if it's titanium - but as long as it...
  5. Need Help Q ... regarding - Head Swapping

    Head swapping.: An LC head has met it's end of life. Have a new one in stock, though as the 'K' head is just showing very slight aging, wonder if I can flush and use it to replace the LC, (and install the new as a fresh K head.) If this can be done, the present shot count on the K (when used to...
  6. Question re: installing DX4 print head

    Am installing new DX4 print head in a SC-540. Service manual states to remove ink from the line, however, I'm running bulk tanks - so want to bypass that. I imagine the head is empty, so how do I proceed?
  7. How To question - Metal Sign ??

    Have a customer who needs two metal signs redone. About 73"w by 45"t. Appears it was once printed on a flatbed, and I can somewhat feel the raised text. Is there a certain type of print media that will work on such a surface - life expectancy - prep other than a good cleaning?
  8. Strange sound coming from spool ?

    Have recently been hearing a strange pulsed sound coming from the wire spool area during long prints. I would say it increases at about 70% on a 54" printer, though is quieter from a cold start. In order to source the problem and to find a remedy, I have made a short video for reference. If...
  9. Need Guidance - first time printing/installing - 3M IJ67 perf

    I've had a request to cover some commercial windows with printed scenes. My supplier provided me with 3M IJ67 and 8914 edge seal tape. I have not done this before and will be my first experience. My greatest concern in getting started is: 1) which Roland profile do I use? (SolJet Pro II) 2)...
  10. Question Q: Ecosol Max or Ecosol Max 2 -What's the difference?

    Is there a difference between using Ecosol Max, or the Ecosol Max 2 inks in an older legacy printer? (SC-540 - DX4 heads) Compatibility?
  11. Make your own Hydrofilm?

    Has anyone tried to make their own hydrofilm print sheets? Been reading up a bit, and have used PVA in past years as a mold release - sprayed with an HVLP and was fast drying, thus easy to build thickness. I'm curious if it's possible to use some large discarded backing mediums to test on, and...
  12. Head Cleaning With Acetone

    I bet that headline catches some attention ;) More to the point.: I just did an experiment with a DX4 head. Disassembled it by removing manifold and rubber seals, then basted the unit in Acetone as I was curious if parts would melt. Used small brush to clean circuit board and surroundings...
  13. Need Refresher on 'Head Soaking'

    In a nutshell, we moved and printers had to sit for a bit, thus having issues with some clogs. Need help in doing a head-soak - DX4 solvent type. I know and have done the procedure of clamping and such, just haven't in a very long time and can't recall how to get the heads out of the way and...
  14. Question on connecting through a 'hub'

    Not sure if this is possible, however I hope I can get some advice here. Have two printers, two computers, and a Netgear GS105 5 port hub. Can I connect two computers and one printer through the hub, so that the printer can be sent print files from each workstation - without conflicts or damage?
  15. Question on - How to move a printer?

    Am in the process of moving to a new location and have two Roland printers to truck for four hours. (SC-540 and SP-300v) There are no keys or brackets with my machines to lock the print head stations in place, so am wondering what I must guard for and what method I can use or do to keep them...
