It is possible to run both Versaworks 5 and Versaworks 6 on the same computer. We do that here as we have 2 older models that don't run on 6 and 2 newer printers that do. We do all the printing and cutting on the same printers, so I couldn't help you there, but I can't see why you couldn't print...

Had you tried to have the blade stick out a bit from the holder and made sure the blade holder was securely tightened into the carriage and see if that helps at all?

Try replacing all at the same time and see if anything changes and if it fixes it then remove one by one until the issue comes back and that should show which part is the troublesome part.

Maybe try replacing the cables to the print carriage board and the print carriage board and if that doesn't do anything, try as damon suggested and maybe try replacing both the main board and servo board at the same time.

Did you try them just one at a time or all together?

Just confirming that you replace the cable that goes from the mainboard to the servo board with a brand new cable? Also by swap, do you mean you used an old board?

As far as I know they are the same, we have a VS-300i, which has the same cap top. According to my service manual the part number is: 6701409200.

Okay, this might be a stupid question, but why don't you both print and cut on the SP-540V, as it is a Printer/cutter? It looks like you have a solution for the current want, but was curious.

Exactly. I get a lot of my wear and tear parts from them on a usual basis and have only had minor issues once, but that's the gamble you take going cheaper, however, with the SP-300V's, not many places carry parts anymore. I even buy some of my parts for our newer machines from them, but there...

No Aliexpress, a.k.a. Alibaba. We buy our SP-300V heads (I believe DX5) from Sign-in-china and have always been happy with the results, been doing it for about 10 years.

From personal experience, I'd say stay away, as we received a damage one and they refused to help us with an exchange and would only give a small refund, far from what we paid. It might suck to pay the proper higher price, but the quality and peace of mind is worth the extra cost from the dealer...

I'm actually currently having a very similar issue with my SG-300. I've tracked it down to the pump for the black/yellow head. You could try opening the panel and trick the sensor and watch if it's pulling properly, if not, swap the lines with another pump and see if it works better.

If the cap top doesn't resolve the issue, then you may need a new head, but the cap top is the cheapest option and should be tried first, especially if it hasn't been changed in a while.

Thanks for clarifying. Was just curious.

How would you stop the ink from going through, and frying everything, as the VS-540i only has 1 head, but 8 channels.
