So I have been having another issue about missing half a head and while working on this issue I noticed a huge amount of ink everywhere around the capping station. On all the surfaces around it, and a lot of it. There is usually some light mist that I can easily wipe off when I do weekly...

So I got a syringe and was able to pull ink through the line and damper. Was able to pull through the cap top and I also (not sure if it was a good idea) but I lightly pushed some solvent through the print head from the manifold on both sides of the head. I also swapped dampers and after all...

Thank you, I will try this today and see what I come up with. I am always to nervous to work on this printer because I feel like everything is so delicate and I don't want to make anything worse then what it is.

I am going to grab a larger syringe because all I have on had is a 10 ml and try and get the air out of that line. Once I do that I will see where that leads me, hopefully the head comes back and then I can investigate into why there wasn't ink in there. In the mean time I can get some parts...

So I have a Roland xc-540 and it doesn't get used a ton but does gets used and I do keep up on maintenance. I hadn't been used in a few weeks and went to run a print and the test print showed the whole left side of the cyan print head was missing. There wasn't any ink what so ever on that...

I am using versaworks and am not familiar with this setting. Can I ask what the purpose of this?

I have a Roland xc-540, and I am getting a color change in this blue on the last panel. The whole thing is ran at once, but the blue hue changes a little bit. It is the last panel on the run.

Well we are in an air conditioned area. I haven’t ever looked into the humidity in the area but I will get something to check what it is at.

Thank you everyone for your help. I learn so much from everyone here. I slowed the head speed to 700 and ran uno-directional and it turned out beautifully.

I have never slowed the head speed down so I’m not sure how to do that but it is running 720x1440 in versaworks with I think 8 passes.

What would you like to see with the artwork? It’s very simple, vector based in illustrator, just black with a contour cut line.

So I am trying to recreate a vehicle graphic for a guy and have the design down but can’t get us to print clean enough. I am printing on a Roland xc-540 with Gerber metallic cast vinyl with the generic cast vinyl profile selected for the print below. I have tried different profiles but they...

So I have it looking pretty good at this point. My only thing now is the little bits seem so have darker edge which I’m guessing is from the ink settling to the outer edges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turned out much better. Probably just a little more tweaking but I’m happy with the results. Thank you!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an Roland xc-540. With Roland inks, Roland heads, using versaworks with an the Avery mpi profile for high quality. Sorry I am kinda new at this. I have read about running more passes but wasn’t sure how to do that. I have not messed with calibration on anything. Our tech comes out when...
