  2. Disable 1 print head - Roland XR-640 Soljet Pro 4

    I'm wondering if there is a way to print using only 1 of the 2 print heads (A & B) on our XR-640. We've got a bad head (B) and are working on budgets to get it replaced, but it would be really awesome if we could limp along on 1 head for the time being. We can do this on our Epson S80600. I've...

  10. Best Printers to replace Gerber Edge?

    We have used a Gerber Edge in our business for decades, but the process for replacing the print head when a pixel goes out is just too cumbersome and expensive. We have an FX now, but we have had 1s and several 2's through the years. We use the Edge mainly to print white on color vinyl. We...

  12. How many colors should there be in each damper?

    My 1324 will barely print anything at all. I removed the dampers and CMY have 2 colors in them, and K is solid black. K also prints the best. But I am using a lot of C&Y to print some custom Ukrainian flag designs. Is that a problem with the dampers? If so, is that all I need to replace? Does...
