"When in the printer, the force the tab exerts on the switch as the tab comes out must overcome the spring pressure built into the sensor arm." I totally agree. An optical sensor (with zero force requirement) would have solved this issue. Anyway, our printer is working now. Thanks again.

"The opening for the ink end tab was just a little too small and didn't allow the ink end sensor arm to line up and drop slightly into the slot." Since the ink end tab moves out at least 1/4" (6-7 mm) from the cartridge when the ink pouch is empty, I don't see the reason why should the sensor...

Yes, Jim is amazing! He came out and repaired our VS-640. Converted a $25K paperweight into a working printer. He is the only one we will call in the future. Thank you guys for all your help. Apic

Thank you soooo much! I will order new cartridges and try them. Unfortunately, my colleague just said that the ink level recognition with two colors (Yellow and Magenta slots #1,2 and #7,8) are also unreliable. She pulled out a cartridge, pushed it back and it was recognized as full, but in a...

Please Help! Roland VS-640, brand new Roland ink cartridge, but the printer still senses it as empty. The cartridge itself is recognized that it is installed, but the ink level on the printer's LCD remains zero. We updated the firmware: nothing. We tried different new ink cartridges (with their...

The big advantage of the CMYK only (no white) DTG printing is that the ink is fully absorbed by the cotton (it won't stay on the surface), so you can put rhinestones anywhere on the image. Creating multimedia shirts is very easy: 1.) Full color printable image goes to the DTG printer...

We purchased a Brother GT-541 (CMYK only) DTG printer 4 years ago. Zero issues (!!), 10 minutes maintenance in every 2-3 months. We bought it for about $20K and - until now - we invoiced out (printed light colored t-shirts) for about $400K. Yes, the printer is slow: max 30 large images/hour...

We had the same issue. There was dust on the banner material. (The roller cleaned it during printing.) We wiped off the banner before printing and it solved the problem.

And you have to many "l"-s in "Rolland". :smile:

The inverter + 12V battery won't work! If you need 2000 Watts (heat press + computer + cutter + etc.), it is 166 Amps on 12 Volts. The capacity of an average battery is about 100 Amp-hours or less. You need 10-12 hours of operation. Do the math...

With a portable generator you can have multiple issues: It can be noisy. It can stop suddenly (fuel-, ignition-, mechanical problem, etc.). The inverter can be low quality, creating horrible 60 Hz signal. The long cable from the generator (outside) to the heat press (inside) can radiate...

You are welcome. The power inverter idea above won't work if you have to provide power all day long as you've mentioned. Your vehicle cannot run all the time, and if you are using a 5kW inverter without running the engine, your car won't even start in the evening. :smile: We had a Honda...

Your cutter and computer won't need much power, but the heat press is power hungry. Cutter: 100 Watts or less, Computer: few hundred Watts (depending on the type and size of the computer). Heat Press: 1500 - 2000 Watts So: 1.) Forget the rechargeable generators! 2.) Buy a portable...

The mammogram is still the most reliable method to detect breast CANKER. :Big Laugh

Thank you Gino, It looks like the customer will accept smaller rigid boards, so we will have them printed on a flatbed. Yesss! :smile: Thanks again for your kindness.

Thanks MikePro! Any other advice? Anybody??
