It started off with a few minor pink spots and then it got a bit more and now it basically cover 90% of a print which basically means I cannot print anymore until it is resolved. The technician replaced the head cables and it still continued so he suggests that it is probably the head that...

Ran into a situation and need to know the name of a part, so will first explain: Machine is a Roland Soljet Pro II There is a ribbon strip which travels back and forth on the gantry attached to the print head. With it are two semi-clear glide strips which protect it as it travels - as the...

Is a used Roland LEC-300A, UV, Print&Cut a good choice for creating stickers for outdoor use? Like on cars. To me it looks like a good fit. It suppose to print on just about anything. For me it is transparent film, vinyl, vinyl for heat transfer and such that is important. The price is set at...

Hello, I am a new member to this forum. I teach high engineering, graphic design and robotics. One of the things we do is run a small micro-business where kids design and then manufacturer products for themselves, parents and the district. We already own a Roland SG540 and we have used this...

I have a strange issue with my xc-540. It's been sitting for a while unfortunately, maybe a year. It's been plugged in and every few months I do a full manual cleaning. Here's the issue: I'm trying to prepare it to sell but I need everything up and running. 3 out of 6 of my print heads I...

Any ideas what causes the ink on a vinyl print to smudge when using the squeegee? I doubt that its too much force with the squeegee as it did not happen before? Could it be the material, ink or printer heater settings or something else?

Hello, I cannot seem to find my Roland Cut Studio Software install, I had a hardrive that crashed and need to reinstall it. Anyone have a copy I could use please, This is for my Roland GX-24 cutter. I usually have these backed on a drive but did not do that with this one for some reason. Thank...

Hello Does anyone have experience. Can Epson GS6000 printhead be installed in Mutoh 1624. Both printheads are from Epson and look the same. And the printera Also look the same.

I got a bunch of Jetbest ECO Pigment cartridges from a person who got rid of their Roland printer. Will this ink work in a Mimaki CJV30-100 printer if I change the chip? is the ink the same or will it ruin my printhead? Does someone have a reference number for the JetBest Eco Pigment? Any...

I teach a high school Graphic Design class. I have had to learn sign printing from the ground up, so I may be missing something obvious in regards to color accuracy. I have Caldera RIP (v.12) and a Roland SG300 print/cut machine. It's mostly amazing, but my biggest challenge is fine tuning the...

Ugg. Like a dummy, I was moving the dampers around and I heard the sound you never want to hear (CRACK), and the damper on my BRAND NEW black DX4 printhead went loose. I quickly found out that I had snapped the plastic nipple off inside the damper! So in a panic, I grabbed one of the old...

Hello I am trying to find good settings for perforated cut of the baking film (only the film, not the adhesive upper layer) of Siser ColorPrint Media. Using ZEC-3075 blade with the fin. I noticed that whatever settings I supply - the horizontal lines seem to be getting cut "more". For instance...

Hey there, I started a thread a couple days ago about my blues being purple. Today I contacted a Roland tech and we tried everything to get it printing correctly but to no avail. He concluded that it is a hardware issue and that I need to replace head 1. If that doesn't work then I need to...

Hey there, We use the Roland VG 540 to create digital prints at my work (mostly for t-shirts). I am a new hire but am working on troubleshooting the printer, I have little to no experience with digital printing. So there are 4 big problems that we are having, the first of which is that the...

Seeing if anyone else is in this position and what's the best way to make it work. For years have been running SignLab 9 with VersaWorks on a VS540. I added a Roland VG2 and it won't run with VersaWorks that comes with SignLab 9. So I added VersaWorks 6. After using the SignLab built-in link...

Hello Looking for a piece of workflow advice. I am using VersaWorks with a VS-300i and now with GR-420 as well connected to the same PC/VW. I have a proprietary SW which generates PDF files that I print (using nested jobs) and contour cut in VW with VS-300i. I plan to remove the printed and...

Hello Fellow Members! I am just confused with the procurement of a Epson DX7 printhead for my Roland V640i. Two things are the main pain points, price and quality? I am from India so here its coming at an average cost of $1700 something and that too without any warranty and installation...

Has anyone here replaced their small dampers on an SP540 with large dampers? I remember having a tech out many years ago and he mentioned he can change the small dampers to the large ones. The only added benefit is the ink at hand. The metal plate fixed above the dampers will obviously be...

We have a used Roland printer/cutter. It has been a great workhorse over the years. It’s by no means perfect, however it still prints well and is a good starter printer for a shop, or a backup printer for banners, decals, etc... Priced to sell. This pic isn’t the actual printer, but it’s the...
