xc-540

Ok, so we purchased an old neglected XC-540 and replaced all main parts that were bad. Including all 6 heads. They were old, and some had head strike on them. Changed all rank numbers and set up machine. Pulled ink from all heads and all caps were also replaced OEM. Now we set it to test print...

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...

I've got the Soljet Pro III XC-540 and I need to print a banner. VersaWorks says it's not connected. When I select "Get Media Width" in the Production Manager Menu (Flexi 19) - it pulls it in, so it's clearly communicating. I've rebooted, shut everything off, unplugged, plugged back in, verified...

This is a fun one. We're in the middle of a full wrap on a big food truck. About half of it was printed, when our 12 year old Roland XC-540 took a dump. Needs parts and a tech can't get to us for a while. It's looking like we're gong to need to finish the job on our 2 year old Roland True Vis...

Our old Roland XC-540 is giving an error notification every time I hit setup. SCAN MOTOR ERROR CODE: 0080 0080. Tried a limit initialization. No changes. I tried to slide the carriage across with my hand, and while I could move it, it feels like there's way more resistance than usual. Any...

Hi, my head carriadge of the XC-540 on the Low position is scratching on the bottom in a metal from the wipers system. Far from the heads but anyhow still scratching and making it to slow. Besides changing it to the high position that it stops the scratching how can I raize it a little bit just...

Hi all, just to introduce myself, I'm Alex and I own a surfschool/Surfcamp/Surfshop in Peniche/Portugal. I've been doing some T-shirts and Sweat shirts with a DTG printer Epson F2000 which always gives me a bit of headheak. So if the was not enough I bought a Roland XC-540 in not functioning...

Hi My name is Ben I have a small print shop with a Roland xc-540 setup to print CMYK Lc lm I would like to convert it to cmyk spot spot color for specialty printing I do. so that I could use speciality made spot colors. For example, home Depot orange cannot be printed with CMYK but speciality...

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...

Hello, My name is Ben I have been printing with my xc-540 for about ten years so I know the machine very well. I recently had my network card fail on my machine, and unfortunately, it is part of the motherboard. Luckily I was able to get a backup of the motherboard parameters and latest firmware...

Hi guys! Im here to ask you a favor (once again :D). The thing is that i haven't found profiles to my roland printer in 1440dpi (even in roland profile center) . I use a XC-540, roland versaworks version 5.x, CMYKLcLm ink configuration, eco sol max ink type. I only have 720x720dpi profiles in my...

Hi Guys, Had an old thread however not had much luck with it. I have a xc-540 and I have no magenta or cyan what so ever I believed this to be a issue with the fuse as someone said I could have blown the fuse when I was trying to fix my 'sensor eye error' I have since ordered 3 fuses and...

Hey guys! I'm a new member of this forum, i have seen you post a lot helpful comments and great ideas of how to fix roland printers. The case is that i my XC-540 has started printing blurry. Printhead seems to be in a great shape excepted for the yellow one which has some reflected nozzles. When...

This logo is supposed to be teal. Something is definitely off! My roland xc-540 is doing a lot of strange things but this is the newest. Any suggestions?

We are acquiring a small competitor who has a Roland Soljet PROIII XC-540. I believe it was made in 2008 or 2009 and can confirm this tomorrow. We have other printers that are similar to this one and so we would like to sell it. It appears to be in immaculate condition and his maintenance...

Hi, I have been pulling my hair out over this. Ok, so I have 2x soljet pro3 xc540 machines. One machine runs bulk inks, the other runs carts. Both machines started doing this around the same time. But I figured out the spots are only coming from the black head! These white dots of varying...

Hi again all, I have a strange one for you. XC-540. After a good run of say 20m, i started noticing strange lines appearing in the middle of the prints. It is not to the left or the right, just in the middle. I adjusted the head height to low and they dissapear. When I put the head height to...

We are wondering if it's just us or inherent to the XC-540... EVERY time we have an issue, it's the magenta head. We are currently on our fourth or fifth problem with that head. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just a strange coincidence for us? I've wondered if perhaps...

Previously I have used the roland 545ex which has an "auto align" button on the main control panel. So after laminating I would direct my knife head to the circle by the rectangle and hit the auto align button and send my "cut only" job. The xc-540 does not have an auto align button, how do I...
