You can redo the calibration as often as you want. Besides the 10 digit number, there are also the offset and gain values printed on the label. If these are correct, the "calibration" worked. ISS PCA stands for Ink System Subsystem Printed Circuit Assembly (or something like this...) and...

Have you removed the clear plastic protector, that is over contacts?

It works with all Rolands. With the latest models(VG3, SG3) , you need a number to enter the system switch mode. Call a certified technician...

Be sure, the sensor touches the vinyl. I often saw, that the sensor was off it's "hinge", (a set screw) If that happens, Opos doesn't work correctly.

The only technology to print on vinyl with less maintenance is thermal transfer like Durachrome or Gerber Edge. That comes with the price of more expensive and specialised consumables and less resolution.

Try this. It works.

You should have 8 channels. If you don't have white, one channel is missing (orange or red) You can try to run the machine in CMYK mode by activating the modes in Versaworks.

What does the internal test print look like? It bypasses the Rip. If this looks good, it's highly likely a Rip problem.

I wouldn't be aware, that those chips have a expiration date. The "sensor" are just two contacts, that could use a cleaning with alcohol or contact spray.

Exactly what I expected...

-10 doesn't sound good... I had to empty a R1000 for shipment. There is a procedure and a device you can borrow from HP. When the ink freezes in the tubing, it will destroy things I'm not aware, that something similar exists for the small printers.

The fuses for the printheads are on the carriage board on SG and VG printers. Not on the main, or head board, as they used to be on older printers with Epson heads.

The cartridges are slanted downwards a little bit on the HP 300 and 500 series. If there isn't enough ink throughput, the heavier pigments sink down and are consumed first.(if the cartridges aren't shaken every month or so) You can shake a cartridge as long as you want. When the pigment-heavy...

Looks like there was a head crash.
