  1. [SOLVED]Roland XC-540 Alignment Issue

    Good afternoon everyone. Just starting this morning, I've been having issues printing on my XC-540 Soljet printer. It was working fine before the weekend, but after running a job through, the print comes out misaligned and blurry. After trying a few calibration fixes, I cleaned the encoding...
  2. Need Help How do I replace the encoder strip? XC-540

    I'm not very comfortable performing maintenance on the machine outside what's in the user manual. We're in a rural community 5 hours from the nearest distributor, so having a tech come help with stuff is too expensive. Does anybody have a link to a ho- to video for changing an encoder strip? Or...
  3. OK to swap TrueVis cartridges in&out to avoid running out when you're not there to change it

    My favorite part about the roland truevis vg-540, as an upgrade from the older models, is the TU2 setting. I'll print signs and vehicle wraps all day on the regular roll setting, then at the end of the day, set up a bunch of product labels (that have small text and print slower on a high quality...

    Been having some banding issues on the Roland TrueVis Vg-540. Today when calibrating the machine, the correct setting was a moving target. it was set to ten, which had a little overlap.

    I’ve been having some issues with the heads on my sp300v, tried cleaning them but m/y head had nothing coming through and the blue was 95% clear and the black was about 40% on a test print. Decided to just buy 2 new heads with new dampers and cap tops (I could’ve cried after the deceiving...

I just bought my first solvent printer, an old SP540v and think I made a big mistake in taking out the carts while transporting it home on a crazy-hot day a week back.

    Hi All, I've been appreciatively trolling here for a while and have been grateful for all the discussions. I'm an artist and have been printing for myself and others for years and use Epson 98/7800 printers since they're workhorse printers I can self-service.. Anyway, I'd been wanting to get...
