    Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...
  12. Medium-format flatbed printer?

    Hey all, We're seriously considering adding a medium-format UV-flatbed printer to our arsenal. We would like something that can accommodate coroplast signs that are 28"x44". This is about the largest size that we would like to print DTS in-house. We have been comparing a few different models...

  14. VP-540 Printing Faint Yellow

    Experts! My VP-540 has sat idle for a number of months, it was left turned on so it would do the automatic clean cycles.

  19. Need Help Roland SP-540v flashes "Service Mode" but then quickly jumps out of Service Mode... I'm stumped...

    So, yesterday I changed out a liner encoder strip on our Roland SP-540v (firmware 6.3) and, although it prints the image still "skews". I figured I'd need to do the "Linear Encoder Setup" as per the Service manual. I attempted AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST to enter service mode... the usual, start...
  20. Mutoh VJ 1324 upgrade

    Hi there. My old Mutoh is getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking about an upgrade. My issue is I don't use it a lot. (but of course when I do I need it to perform well). I realise that solvent printers need to be used. (this could be one of the reason I have quite a few issues with my...
