VP 540 question

[Joesignshop]

I just upgraded from the Sp540 to the Vp540 and was wondering if anyone has experienced the cleaning function occuring while printing with the VP? This happens every so often while printing in standard and billboard modes. Thanks!

Not sure exactly what you are asking... is it going through a clean cycle in the middle of a print?

 

[Replicator]

I've never had that happen before !

 

[Creative_Lance]

Never happened with me either!

 

[Drip Dry]

It happens to me on occasion ... I thought it was normal

Like the three or five clicks in the middle of printing ?

Never in the middle of a print job for us?? Maybe at the beginning or end, but not during?

VP-540 People, change your oem ink to Compatible J-STAR ink. You will save more than 70% of ink cost savings in this critical economy crisis. I have sent out couple free ink sets to current forum members. They will post their feedbacks very soon.

Same kind of ink are selling thousands of liters each month in Europe.

Great, now we get infomercials in the middle of a forum thread!

The clicks are normal that's the pump operation. I have never had a cleaning performed during a print seems curious.

mine does a self cleaning every so often but not ever during a job

I have heard that too. I think you're right - it's just the pumps pumping some ink through. The sound reminds me of the oil change places when they're pumping new oil into your vehicle.

I have to mention this will void your warranty.

Yes it's sounds like the clicking or pumping during the printing process, sounds like the cleaning process briefly, Must be normal as my unit has about 4 hours on it. I'll contact Roland and get back to the forum.

That clicking is normal... I thought you were talking a cleaning cycle starting in the middle of the print... which wouldn't be normal...

 

[Mike_Koval]

the pump clicking is normal...even during a print.

3rd party inks void the warranty on anything the ink touches, lines, dampers, heads, caps and pump. I have heard that the ink manufacturer would cover any damage if it were to damage anything. Not definitely sure about this though.
