SP300 print stopped due to empty ink. Do you think i can continue the print after 15h

[zm71]

Hi. So i didn´t have any yellow here at my shop. I have 1 inch left to print(!!). Do you think i can leave the machine on over night and continue the printing tomorrow or do i need to shut it down and re-print it all?

Its beeping and calling for new ink. I usually always change on the go. But i missed to have one backup on the yellow and now the stores are closed.

What do you Roland pros think? Shut it down and reprint it all or leave it on for about 15h and then continue the print?

Thanks.

ROLAND SP300.

Well, I think it depends on what you are printing (coverage), not being able to see your graphic, to determine if a stop/start line (difference) will be noticed, or the size of the whole project (you would have to re-print), I can only suggest to wait for the ink and continue on, only needing 1" to complete the job.

Now, after you finish the 1" of printing and complete the job and it looks bad, then you have to reprint.

Is the print head seated on the capping station? If NOT, then I would not wait 15 hours, the head would dry out!

Also, I hope you learned a lesson here, ALWAYS have a complete set of extra ink on hand so you don't have this problem again. Order two Yellow ink carts NOW!!

Too much humidity?
