    Issue started when running a normal cleaning cycle. The 2 black print heads dropped out. I checked the fuses, and F4 was blown. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. I checked and replaced all cables relating to group A. I swapped the print heads and got a little bit of each black to come...
  2. Roland XC-540 Magenta Head Issues

    We are wondering if it's just us or inherent to the XC-540... EVERY time we have an issue, it's the magenta head. We are currently on our fourth or fifth problem with that head. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just a strange coincidence for us? I've wondered if perhaps...
  3. 7890 Dead Head

    I have a 3 year old 7890 and the head has gone out on it. Does anyone know where I can get a new, refurbished head that will not cost me as much as I bought the printer for, or another machine that is used but still in good condition?

    The black/cyan head in my SP300V was deflecting the black exceptionally bad. The machine worked very well, otherwise and the cyan nozzels were perfect. I did a heak soak, head flush, changed the dampers, capping station, and no improvement (also put in all new roland ink cartridges after the...
  7. DIY Print head recovery system - Epson DX4 / DX5 heads, etc.

    I've seen a few print head recovery systems out there priced from $1000 to several thousand dollars. After studying photos of them, they seem to be of pretty basic construction using readily available components like ultrasonic cleaners, solvent pumps, pressure regulators, etc. So I thought I...

  11. Replacing Print Head

    I am getting HORRIBLE overspray on my prints and I have tried everything to fix it, to no avail so I have ordered a replacement head. I had to replace the black print head a few months ago, so I am comfortable and familiar with the process and don't have a problem with that. It's just that I...

    My print quality has recently begun to degrade to a point where it was noticeable to me, and to no avail, I tried a whole bunch of things to correct it and made the following discovery. *And if I have miscalculated, it's because I don't fully know what I'm doing and have a need to better...

  17. Skewed ghost image - head staggered 1.5"

    Well here's a weird one. Recently, I replaced a long overdue head on our JV4 (DX4 aqueous), as we've been hobbling along, printing only with the front bank of heads for far too long. Long story short, with both banks printing now, I'm pretty limited by how I can print because of an...

    Little Donnie & the Groove-Tones Bass Drum Head

    Bass Drum head for local band. Not exactly the easiest surface to work on. Delicate and it flexes a bunch. I did the work off the drum, may be easier to apply with it tensioned on the kick shell. Did much of this with wet-application because of the registration against the black surface...
