  1. VP 300i - Potential Dead Fuse?

    Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...
  2. 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...
  3. Roland SC545ex will versa-works tell me the ser. no. of print-head?

    Hi all I have a Roland SC545ex I purchased with clogged dx4 heads. I cleaned the heads with a sonic cleaner using Branson EC Electronic Solution (circuit card sonic cleaning solution). Although it seems it was a success, the ser. no. was cleaned off. Will versa-works tell me the ser. no. of the...
  4. Swapped printhead adapter and clogged new head, repairable?

    Ugg. Like a dummy, I was moving the dampers around and I heard the sound you never want to hear (CRACK), and the damper on my BRAND NEW black DX4 printhead went loose. I quickly found out that I had snapped the plastic nipple off inside the damper! So in a panic, I grabbed one of the old...
  5. Need Help PRINTHEAD NOT PRINTING CYAN OR MAGENTA! - FUSE KEEPS BLOWING? XC-540

    Hi Guys really need some help on my Roland XC-540 it has been offline for around 2 months now. The CYAN & Magenta is not firing at all I changed the fuse and it has blown almost instantly when I put it in and turned it on.

  6. Could changing the voltage on old DX4 heads make them last longer?

    I had a thought today. I was dealing with a DX4 head that was incapable of accurately printing the small dot size. By that, I mean that prints would turn out faded, small details would be altogether missing, or the print would be fuzzy. It got old, it happens. I proceeded to swap it with a new...
  7. Can somebody please tell me what printhead type a Roland SC-500 is?

    Hi, I have a Roland SC-500 printer and wanted to know what printhead type I have, for example, is it a DX2, DX3, DX4, etc. I'm getting mixed messages that it might be DX2 or DX3, but I need to know 100% for sure. My documentation does not tell me anything and I don't want to rip it out of the...
  8. DX4 Printhead from China

    After thinking for a while about keeping older printer as a back up, i think i will do it. Would have to replace 1 print head there, just because few CYAN nozzles are not firing. Just wondering, did anyone recently or at all got a dx4 head from china & how did it work/what experience you had...
  9. Strange white dots on Black print only. HELP!!

    Hi, I have been pulling my hair out over this. Ok, so I have 2x soljet pro3 xc540 machines. One machine runs bulk inks, the other runs carts. Both machines started doing this around the same time. But I figured out the spots are only coming from the black head! These white dots of varying...
  10. Replacing Printheads on VP-540i

    Hello everyone! This is my first post on this (big!) forum, so be gentle if the thread allready exists somewhere. We own an Roland VersaCam V-540i since 2009, now it's time to replace the black and blue print heads. We are in doubt over do-it-ourself vs by-dealer. A quick look at both costs can...
  11. xc-540 dx4 head streaking

    Has anyone seen a test print like this? Black is firing continuous. Wondering if head is fried? History is that black test pattern had some drop out. Tried a few cleaning methods including Roland built in routines and a gentle manual flush through the damper port and situation improved. Towards...
