Hi guys,
We’ve been working on refurbishing a Roland VS-540 for three days and have already performed several upgrades and maintenance tasks. Here’s a summary of what’s been done so far:
We’ve been working on refurbishing a Roland VS-540 for three days and have already performed several upgrades and maintenance tasks. Here’s a summary of what’s been done so far:
Maintenance and Repairs Performed:
- Lines and Components Cleaned:
- Flushed all ink lines.
- Thoroughly cleaned the valve-closing system.
- New Components Installed:
- New printhead installed.
- Original Mimaki Cap-Top installed (tried three different Cap-Tops).
- Original pump installed.
- Replaced magenta seal (from the carriage to the circulation system).
- Changed all magenta hoses except the main one inside the system.
- System Adjustments:
- Deactivated magenta circulation by directly connecting the hose (due to recurring issues with circulation).
- Re-routed the magenta line to run via a single hose instead of the Y-connector system.
- Testing and Troubleshooting:
- Adjusted the station position.
- Tested the system with an original damper for magenta.
- Switched ink lines (cyan to magenta): Achieved full nozzle test temporarily, but the issue returned after the system was left overnight.
- Tried using the second magenta line, but the problem persisted.
