Does anyone know how to test a dx4 printhead to see if it is blown/shorted out?

Hello all.... I have a FJ-540 that has a blown fuse. After printing great for several hours group A suddenly stopped working after I switched to a different media. To test for a blown fuse, I swapped cables from M+Y and group A printed again. Since Group A is head 1+2... I checked the service...

I've searched the forums and there's lots of info on head board fuses... but besides my local Roland dealer.... where can I buy a fuse (or several)? I have a SJ-540 and the fuse has the following info on it... SOC 72V T 3.15A If anyone has a source for these I would greatly appreciate it...

Has anyone ever tried the 3rd party brand ink... digitl ink from the UK? I did a search on this site and it turned up one thing and the person said they have been using them for 6 months... not if they are good or bad.... if they've gummed up their printheads or not. We have a local supplier...

I just wanted to give my honest opinion about someone who I've dealt with over the past couple of weeks and that person is Dave Callender from www.solventprinterconversion.com A few weeks ago I decided to give converting my Roland FJ-540 over to use solvent ink a shot and here's how it went. I...

Anyone know where I can get a FJ-50 Pump Motor? Not a scan motor or the pump itself... but the actual pump motor. Thanks! Mike.

Hello all, I have a customer who gave me a sample of some cut vinyl they had made for them in the past and I have no idea of what the material is. It has a clear release liner and the vinyl has a very bumpy texture. I brought it to Advantage Sign Supply here in GR and they couldn't tell what...

Hello... I am in the middle of doing a conversion of my FJ-540 to print eco-sol MAX and we are a little stuck on the part of installing the new solvent resistant plates onto the heads. The part that is confusing is there is a "sub-plate" that looks like it has O-rings in it that do not come out...

Hello all, I have a FJ-540 and was thinking about upgrading my vinyl plotter to something that has an optical eye for contour cutting. I don't need a big cutter, a 23" cut area is fine for what I need. I've seen in the past that the Roland GX-24 comes bundled with Roland Cut Studio... I use...

Does anyone know of any other sites or resources to find a used eco-solvent printer? The current things I know about are Ebay - Craigslist and the Signs101 classified section. Any other sites or ideas that someone might have? We're just looking for something like a used valuejet, falcon...

Does anyone know of a "How To" or a "Tutorial" on how to set up a print and cut system using two different machines (separate printer and separate vinyl plotter)? We are converting our FJ-540 to solvent and eventually like to add a separate vinyl plotter (that can read crop marks) that we can...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone would have an idea of how long the color might last on "pre-colored" aluminum? Basically we want to order a material that is RED that we can apply cut vinyl lettering to for our outdoor signs. We originally used PVC (Sintra 3mm) and put that over our...

OK- I needed something to test the waters on this cut vinyl, both for myself and my clients, so I got a cheap Seiki cutter that does a pretty good job, I've scrolled out a bunch of internal stuff and a few vehicles for people (so I'm not TOTALLY inexperienced- just mostly!) I'm running the...
