You certainly have head issues there, if you've already tried replacing the cap top and soaking the head, the only real next step is replacing the head. I'd also replace the dampers and the cap top at the same time, that way everything is fresh and ready to go. If you do decide to do it...

Have you tried with just the 2 rollers, shouldn't give you better results, but as you've exhausted other options, couldn't hurt. What does the test cut adjustment look like when you try that? Is it way out of alignment as well?

That's a good thing in a way I suppose. How many do you have on, just 2 or do you have all the extras on as well? Have you tried with different amounts of them? Although I don't think this is your issue if you can get it to work with other medias. I know you can use 6mil vinyl's, as I use an...

Very strange, it should change it at least a little bit. How do the pinch rollers look, any of them look broken?

Did you play around with the cut adjustments? It appears to be out about the same along the way, you should be able to adjust and bring it much closer.

I could be wrong, however, the way you keep stating things, it sounds like the boss really doesn't care about the business or the employees and equipment. Is this the only part of the business (the print shop just being an added business to it)?

My 2 cents, but maybe you need to present the AC in a different manner. Ask him if he wants his business to succeed, and for him to think of it as an investment into the future of his business, maybe he might want to increase costs slightly to compensate, but it would help in the long run and...

We only have 30" Printer / cutters and I haven't had any issues getting media, typically I just get the supplier to slit the 54" rolls in half and you have 2 shorter about 27" rolls for the price of a 54" roll, usually saves a few buck even with the small slitting fee. However, it all depends on...

Based on those photos, yes, both Printer A and B have print head issues and would require replacement unfortunately. What I might suggest is if you get them both replaced, you could always sell one afterwards and recoup some cost of the heads.

It could possible be the ethernet port on the main board is going, does it lose connection to the printer?

There appears to be some sort of electrical issue. Make sure all the connections are proper. Might also want to check the transistors on the main board to make sure they are okay.

There doesn't appear to be a photo. Could you repost please?

For filling the dampers, I've done it both ways. I do tend to try to let the printer do it first, if it's not really working then I'll do the syringe, as it does put pressure on the head when you pull, so if I can avoid that, I tend to.

For changing the dampers, you'll first want to clear any ink out of the lines, then power off and disconnect the power cord. You'll have to remove the cover(don't have this printer here), but it uses the same head as my VS-300i. Once you have access to the head you'll need to remove the print...

Yes, not a fan of it either, but not much you can do, other then finding a cracked version, I know there were a few on here, but if you say they aren't working anymore, my guess is that Roland has made a patch to protect against that. Really, it's a way for Roland and dealers to make money and...
