Okay - Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice! I will write a summary so that this thread may be of use to others. So I went to clean the encoder strip. I took the cover off and saw that my sponge was a mess. It was so saturated that it was leaking outside of the sponge casing. I had...

Hi - Still hoping to get some direction on this. I read that the outer pinch rollars are different from the middle ones (which are tapered) and I have no idea what kind I put on, I bought them off ebay. I have the correct ones coming in the mail just to make sure. However I have some...

Hi there, I'm trying to problem solve a new reoccuring issue I have wiith my Sp300. Recently the media wants to starting going crooked on me after the first 18" is printed (pushing to the right). This of course bunches the material causing head strikes. I print on static cling Material...

Hi there, My sp300V is having some heater issues. The "print" heater is capable of warming to its full capacity. It can hold it for sometime, however after being operated for a while the heater will shut down and no longer will hold the set temperature. The amount of time before it shuts...

Just what i needed, thanks much for posting this !

Yes I can make it save to queue but I can not send it to print again until the first one has completed printing. The Print button is grayed out until it has completed printed. At that point i can send it again. Which means monitoring the print and resending after each row i print. Good...

Hi there, I've been working in Color choice up until recently. I have finally upgraded to versaworks. I know i'm really starting to catch up here. Anyway in color choice I could rip a file and then send it to print as many times as I wanted. This was nice because lets say you are printing...

I do see that those are pretty pricey. Can they only do 4 colors ? Are they pretty quick?

I'd be selling these in fairly large batches and the customer would be supplying the image. If I am printing and cutting and applying i'm thinking that might be time quite time consuming. Definitely not out of the realm of possibility since i'd be already set up to do this. I am curious about...

Hi there, I've been working with my Roland for a while now and love it. I'm looking to expand my operation. I'd like to start printing custom beer bottle caps (small runs of 100-200 caps at a time). Could anyone point me in the right direction for the correct equipment to do this. I'm...

To anyone reading this thread, here was the fix to the issue. After the ink dripped liked crazy I started to lose the black ink. Realizing it must be some sort of vaccum issue i tried to prime the damper with new ink. It did not work and I eventually lost all my black. Which I was actually...

Hi there, I've been using my Roland CJ-500 converted to eco sol with great success over the last year. I replaced almost everything. I just recently had major amounts of black ink fall onto my print out. Not sure if it actually black or a mix of all 3 colors on that nozzle. I turned the...

Could anyone tell me what the advantage of the FX over previous models are? Speed is not really a concern for me so if its just speed i'd be happy with something older. If it is print quality then that is another story.

Hello, I'm looking for a working gerber edge machine. I'm leaning towards the edge FX. It would be nice if it comes with the plotter and some foils would be a bonus. Please private message me if you have anything that could get me up and running. Thanks !

So I run a CJ500 which is slow i'm told. I have the material run over the heater, its gets nice and hot ! But it seems like by the time it gets to the print head its totally cooled off. Should the material still be hot when it gets to the print head, or is the point to heat it up nice and...

It is a cj500 converted to a sc500. So this heater is a DIY job. This kind of looks like it http://www.qequality.com/categories/104/HEATERS/products/83/DOOR_HEATER_CABLES.aspx

Anyone have any other ideas on this? I really think it might be in floor heating cable but It seems like that stuff you don't have to strip the rubber off and expose the inner core. Hoping someone can identify this before this weekend so I can work get it fixed up this weekend.

They sell coversion kits that from my understanding use heat strips, not a wire. I'm assuming my conversion is an older one. If I replace the whole heater this would surely be route place to go. I'm not sure that they will help me identify this wire since they use something different...

Its a converted cj-500 to sc500 so there was never a heater made for the machine. I've seen lots of people install their own on here. I could put an entire new system in, but that just seems like overkill since all i need to do is replace this one wire. The front wire and the controller etc...

I don't know if they are OEM but I did just buy and install 2 heads from solventinkjet.com about a month ago. Came with head ranks and are working great.
