Also I havent replaced cap tops yet because they didnt get here in time, figured id just changed them afterwards. Could that have something to do with it if they wont seal tight enough against the print head? I tried sucking directly on the part of the damper that connects to the print head...
Roland VP-540. Replaced 2 heads (black and blue) and did the pump up because i changed dampers. Did the ink fill and couldnt get any ink to flow through the lines. Got the yellow and magenta to pull through the dampers and into the head through the pump tubes below. Seems like I can get the...
Thank you for the response. I have new dampers/captops/wipers on the way. I will change those things out and look over the head while I'm replacing the black head. Anything in particular I should look out for that would make the head unrecoverable?
I appreciate those trying to help, I'm not a sign shop and don't claim to be on a professional sign shop level. I'm just a guy that bought a used printer and likes to wrap my own racecars and some others which most of y'all wouldn't touch because there's no money to be made....with that said I...
Here's a reference to what I'm talking about. Both files were saved out of photoshop, eps on the right with pdf on the left. Notice the offwhite box on the right with the eps where it is printing instead of just staying true white.
Versaworks won't open a PNG, TIFF gives the same results (printing off white) as the jpeg out of photoshop. Seems as though the only (versaworks friendly) option out of photoshop that doesnt mess with the white is a pdf but I don't like the print quality with it.
Was hoping it might have been...
Not sure if this is the best place for this question or not. I recently switched from CS2 to CS5 awhile back (I know I'm still way behind) and my jpegs from photshop have started printing off white where it's supposed to just remain white. If i open a jpeg in Illustrator and save as an eps...
I've got it back up and running (for the most part.) Just have to fine tune a few things like getting my sheet cut arm to drop and cut.
Also, does anyone know how to get the display back to reading inches/Fahrenheit instead of mm/Celsius?
Took battery out of main board with main power unplugged for a few minutes and that fixed it. Must've had pinch rollers down at the beginning when I was going through everything is the only thing I can think of.
Long story short, I cant seem to get a tech in my area to replace a main board on my VP-540 for less than $1500 (and a month out at that) so I'm stuck trying to play tech. Couldnt get the Peck tool to read parameters on my old main board so I've been going through the process the hard way...
My VP-540 has been getting progressively worse about "losing connection" after starting a print. Typically it only happens within the first 5-10" of a print but occasionally happens further in to a print. Once I get it printing past that it will typically print fine until I run out of prints...
I suppose it could be a photoshop issue, I did "upgrade" from cs2 to cs5. I will hunt around and photoshop and see if anything in there is wierd. Thanks for the suggestions so far!
