  2. Poor quality prints. Trying to find out why

    The tech and roland support have both said that the calibrations and hardware are spot on so it has to be a software issue. right? I bought a 50m roll of vinyl already and i've printed out a couple of metres of test stuff so far with no luck. Problem is roland no longer support colorchoice so...
  3. Poor quality prints. Trying to find out why

    The printer uses ecosol max inks and as far as i'm aware came from the factory setup for sol inks. Firmware is the last available 4.4. Has factory fitted heater set to 45c. Ive tried to use media profiles listed as Soljet Pro II but theres no way to install media profiles, only output profiles...
  4. Poor quality prints. Trying to find out why

    I don't. He used colorchoice on an xp virtual image instead of having a second pc for it and deleted it after we grabbed the printer cause he has no need for it with his new XR-640. He was using 3M media mostly but i'm using avery media. MPI2000 if that matters. Just using the standard gloss...

    No it was printing perfectly before we moved it from the previous owners shop to our place. The head carriage wasn't secured and the heads were still full of ink when we moved it. This is our first machine so i had no idea any of that needed to be done. We just grabbed a van, threw it in the...

Now the nozzle test print looks fine, heads were aligned, scan and feed alignment done. Basically every setting...

    Thanks guys. I'll see if i can find somewhere to get cleaning solution that's open on a weekend (today being Saturday). If all of the nozzles, or 90% of them, become unblocked, will the prints clear up and become viable sale wise or are there other issues? The print & cut alignment feed and scan...

  9. Poor quality prints. Trying to find out why

    I assume you were talking about the maintenance pdf from that link? Nope, no idea how to do a head soak. Going to go back through the manual and do any test/calibration i can but. It was printing perfectly prior to purchase and i know that it was used often because it was the only machine the...

  11. Poor quality prints. Trying to find out why

    Hey guys, new to the forum and new to wide format printing. Basically we purchased an SC-500 to get into making signage and decals but am having no luck atm. The prints have gotten better since first using the machine but i still can't figure out what is wrong. Had a tech check the machine out...
