You can choose to add drivers or not, if not then the Roland won't appear under devices & printers or whatever description your OS uses. I have never installed Roland drivers, none of my Rolands appear on any of my various OS platforms and Versaworks runs fine.

Is your new desktop running Windows 7 ? I don't know how many USB to ethernet adaptors I've tried over the last 20 years but none have worked for the SP300 which indeed is USB only. Point of fact you don't need the drivers if you're printing from VersaWorks, I've never installed any drivers...

That's nozzle deflection causing over spray, added to that you've got a fair chunk of missing nozzles in the black and magenta, have you had a head crash recently ? Looks like the head's in pretty bad condition. You could try doing a captive wash followed by a powerful clean.

We found over here with the SP machines that it was a common occurrence when the cut carriage cable was on it's way out One of the outer wires on the ribbon cable used to get a magenta type stain on the insulation around where the cable came out of the cabinet housing the mainboard etc and that...

I usually find this happening where the cut line is supplied with the artwork and it's not actually a 'line', it's more a compound path and when released it's made up of an outer line, a fill and an inner line. Has the same effect on both Rasterlink and VersaWorks.

When Rasterlink 7 was first released support for my UCJV300 wasn't available but I loaded Rasterlink 7 on my workstation to get familiar with it and keep watch for the UCJV support being released. I couldn't understand why I frequently couldn't print to my office printer and finally realised...

I get it every time I try launching Rasterlink 7 soon after restarting. There seems to be a lag before the driver initializes but never have a problem if I wait 3 minutes or so for everything to start up in the background.

So do you have the UCJV 300 or UCJV330 ? My understanding is that whereas the UCJV300 had Ricoh heads the UCJV330 has possibly Brother heads. My UCJV330 is just over 5 years old nbow and the white is the printer's strongest feature. If you're not printing much then the flushes and waste white...

Yeah, that 6.22 was a pig. Latest update 6.23.1 seems to be running ok although I don't use ICC profiles so can't comment on that but going lala in the middle of ripping and propensity to crashing seems to be fixed. I'll be keeping a backup machine with 6.21 on it to be safe.

My UCJV300 has done that but in a slightly more dramatic way. The print carriage would detach part way across and on the return (towards docking station) the shuttle would smack into the print carriage at high speed and just about smash the print carriage through the side of the printer. Turns...

I use 5-layer printing on a Mimaki ucjv300-75, attached is an animated spinning gif showing a door sign for a Chinese restaurant. Not sure whether you'd have to download to see the two sides as it spins?

I'm guessing it's a bitmap image saved in a pdf format. You could try a test print and see what it comes out like, I find some bitmap images (.png for one) look fuzzy as in Illustrator but print out ok as long as you don't need to expand the size beyond the image resolution's capacity in which...

Finally someone singing my own tune, listening to the happy UCJV300 posts on here was making me wonder whether I was the only one constantly unfavourably comparing Rasterlink to Versaworks. As far as I know it can't be done. Only way I came up with was, as already mentioned here, to create a...

Completely agree with your comment regards white, it's the best I've seen and my customers love it but unfortunately I've found the clear develops an amber cast at around 3 months and becomes visually quite discernible as it ages.

Agree completely with the comments made, also would look to the damper as a possibility.
