I live in the UK, although I did send a message to say if they deliver to the UK. I also see a lot of them on alibaba website, so I made some enquiries, some cheaper and some more expensive, all brand new and original printheads, so they say. Thanks for the information, much appreciate your...

Thanks perfectpdf, very informative information. I managed to remove the printhead in the end, getting it in again is a different story. I soaked the head in solvent flush liquid, connected a syringe to the 3 ink connectors and they are beyond repair, liquid is not coming out at all. This...

Thanks timgo, this is reassuring now.

Does anyone know what part number the DX2 printhead is for the Roland SC-500. I suspect it is either FJ-50 and/or for Epson model, F055090/F055110. I don't know if I can use the Epson model numbers with the Roland SC-500 printer. The service manual only states FJ-50 and I am confused as this...

I know exactly what you mean about it being old. but I'm stuck with it and I at least want to see if I can get it to print something. It was like carrying a small car up one flight of stairs to get it in, so I'd like to use it for a short while before I get rid of it, although I'm in no hurry as...

Does anyone know how to remove a DX2 printhead on a Roland SC-500 printer, which is similar to an SJ-500 printer. There is absolutely nothing on YouTube to show me how. The Service manual is bloody useless as I did everything it mentioned with now luck. Once I know how I will try to upload a...

Thanks for clarifying the difference. I actually noticed that was the only difference after seeing various pictures of them. I managed to get my hands on 6 DX2 dampers, but from China as they are hardly found in the UK. I did find a couple of sellers in the UK, but they wanted around £24 for...

I do actually have a set of these cleaning cartridges. I was merely asking a question to this community whether anyone successfully created their own solvent flushing cartridges as it is cheaper. Roughly to buy 6 cleaning cartridges costs around £120 or more. Filling six cartridges with solvent...

I'm frantically trying to purchase DX2 dampers for the Roland SC-500 printer and I can't find them. I believe the printer has DX2 printheads. Can anyone please tell me whether I can replace the DX2 dampers I have with DX4 dampers as they look exactly the same to me. Alternatively, if anyone...

That's interesting. Is your firmware up to date as sometimes this could be an issue with certain drivers. I can't test it myself as my printer is clogged and needs flushing, maybe even exorcism, who knows, I'm on the case now to try to unclog it, if I am successful that is, otherwise I'll just...

Thanks for your post. I was seriously thinking of getting the XPT as I have the LTR version and I like the way it cuts and the nesting part. I also like the fact that I can print a document again without opening the document in the Vinyl Spooler. I also like that I can nest and cut different...

Has anyone ever filled clean brand new ink cartridges with solvent fluid to flush their eco-solvent printers? I'm going to do this myself, but I just wanted to ask if anyone did it and was successful in flushing their printer this way. Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Is this the part number: 1000003083, for the new design?

Does anyone have spare media flanges for sale for a Roland SC-500 printer or similar. Thanks.

I'll have a look at that. I don't actually remember using strokes, I created that particular trace in Illustrator. Thanks for your advice again.
