So, it was the head and it has been replaced. Machine is back in working condition. Thanks for the help all. It was really appreciated.

Yes, I did clean it off, thanks

Nevermind!! Fixed it

ok. So completed the head soak. Switched on, it started pumping and whoosh - off flies the rubber nipple of the one tube connected to the pump squirting ink all over underneath the screen area. Put it back and it is still popping off, it's a mess. I am so disillusioned with this machine at...

I hope so. I've had 2 technicians out here telling me to replace the head but it's just not making sense. One told me it's because I switched to 3rd party inks (inks I have used with no problem at all on other rolands machines) and the other couldn't give me an explanation. So I decided to...

Jup. All off. Thanks a lot for all the time and advice. I will post the results, let's see what happens.

Yes, that is what I meant. Haha. Just did it now. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. It could be that the cable got damaged during transport. I will have a look at it, thanks

Thanks for taking the time to help! I have found out thus far that the head was replaced in 2019 but there is only just over 100 hours logged with the new head. It was standing for a while. Before we bought we checked the test print as well as the Test pattern - Fill and all was fine. It is...

Hi everybody. We bought a 2nd hand Roland VS640 last week. First 3 days it was printing beautifully, no problems at all. I then started to notice it doing some overspray (looked like the light cyan). It got worse as time went by. Test prints showed some "wavyness" on the light cyan and then...
