A few questions about moving on from an older printer. Full Rant below: 1- what is the expected life span of a Roland printer/cutter, when used heavily, but taken care of? 2- Is there a market for old printers? In some ways they seem like vehicles. In a lot of ways the old ones were superior...

Yesterday it was fine, then this morning when I began to print I saw a lot of ink being dripped and trailed over the vinyl. I think it is a damper issue, not 100% sure though, if its a damper issue is that something I change out or should I schedule a tech? Thanks

what color is best for my Roland sp540v? Eco sol max, Eco sol max2 or Eco sol max3?

So one of my rolands is giving me trouble. Both are getting a bit long in the tooth so I figure I probably have a bad head...but I'll take any advice if someone has a solution. I've already cleaned the head, checked the ribbon cables, looks like the head is attached to everything properly...I've...

I'm the one man print dept. at a small but very busy sign/wrap/print shop. We have two of the newer True-Vis printers, and enough jobs to keep them both going all day, not to mention a crazy amount of time spent trouble shooting issues with these tricky machines. It doesn't leave a lot of room...

We've been having this issue on our Roland VG-540 for some time, and also with our new VG-2 pretty much right out the box. These big thick horizantal bands that will appear sometimes just once on a print, sometimes a few times, but always at a random spot. This issue comes and goes...

Our pretty new Roland VG-2 just started printing these little "halo's" along the outside edges of the prints. The feed calibration and media gap adjustment (bi-directional) are all calibrated. Nozzle tests are good. The user manual doesn't suggest much beyond those two adjustments. Any insights...

I'm talking about the expanding core "flange wheels" that press into the ends of a roll of inkjet vinyl to hold it up/off the media rollers. I finally broke one of the the OEM Roland ones that came with my printer, and I'm in need of some replacements. I'd prefer to not have to spend...

Hello, I currently own a Roland VG2 series printer. After multiple issues with the machine, im starting to worry about the longevity of this product. has anyone else had a similar experience with the VG series printers? if so, how can I plan for the future of this machine? Would selling it be my...

Is it common to have a lot of issues with a Roland VG2 series? If so, how did Roland handle the situation? how is Roland’s customer service after you bought the machine? After warranty? does anyone own a Roland machine that hasn’t had any issues? are these machines reliable enough to depend...

Hello, So I have a sg2 640. I was very happy with it in the beginning, but then it started leaking ink on the media holders. I got it repaired 3x and it keeps leaking I'm sick of it. I also feel like my dealer doesn't know anything about te machine, they installed it wrong when I got it...

It seems like the more I use this printer the more issues we tend to find. I printed 8 panels for a food trailer wrap that we were doing and 2 of the 8 panels printed with noticeable differences. Now I did check the file that was given to me and everything was perfect. So today I went and...

Hello, please who can help. There is a thin vertical black line in the test print in the head (B) test. The head (B) was not working and i had to change one head print and headboard and cartridge board to get this result. So what is the problem of the black line now ?

I recently purchased a VP540i which came with Versaworks 3.1 disc. I am new to Roland and Versaworks so maybe this is user error but all the files I upload into this program the quality of the image declines dramatically. Other than user error/technique/lack of understanding the program. I can...
