    We purchased an HP Latex 560 back in April. We have not had any real problems with it; just a few user-created errors while we learn the machine. Now, I am getting concerned that it may be about time to replace some printheads, but I have no idea how to tell when I should. This is my current...

    I have a HP Latex 310 printer. I was running 10 posters and on the last set of posters i noticed some banding in my prints. I immediately thought this might be due to a bad printhead. I ran a printhead alignment, printhead cleaning option and then ran the printhead plot. Here is a photo of...

    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.

  10. Roland Vg 640 - Bad Head Crash Leads To Service Call

    Was printing like normal today, media loaded, media clamps installed, and something very weird happened. The print heads crashed into the media clamps. My only guess is that somehow the semi rigid media (thick-ISH paper) pushed the clamps up into the print heads and they collided. It crashed...

  18. L26500 Printhead error 524304

    Hi everyone. You will probably think I'm a bit weird because I'm using the L26500 just for a bit of a hobby rather than a serious business. Mainly because it came up at an ok price and I took a gamble that it would work ok. I replaced a couple of printheads to get the machine working when I...
