So if you change to 4 color mode and your printer still works with all colors to save money on ink, what would you do with the other cartridges? Does changing this option in Flexi make the other two channels inoperable? Could you fill those cartridges with water? cleaning solution? How would the...

I am about to embark on my first wrap. I have a Roland FJ-50 that has been converted but I was wondering how wide should I make my panels? I know it says 54" printer but I have heard it will only print as wide as 52". If I have 54" media then do I just use the extra 2" as my overlap. or should I...

Thanks artbot, I will replace the head and see if that fixes it!

Hello all, I have a FJ-50 and it seems as if my right printhead has gone haywire. It is dumping plenty of ink onto the media. The image at the top left is when I try to demo print and I just get a huge pool of ink. The image to the right is the test print after a head clean. What are your...

tried that already, can't find it anywhere on the net. The motor is made by Japan Servo Co. but can't seem to find anyone selling that particular part number. I have come across a few sites that sell that company but none with that part number, has anyone had to replace this motor in their own...

Just wondering if anyone knows where to purchase the motor that runs the pump. I am trying to do a head cleaning and the pump is not pulling ink through the heads. I believe the motor that runs the pump maybe burned out. I am not talking about the scan motor but the small independent one...

Thanks, anything is worth a try right now.

Thanks signage, but I have tried that to but to no avail. Any other suggestions???

Here's my problem, the FJ-50 I just bought did not come with any software thus my computer is not recognizing it at all. I am running XP sp3 and the icon at the bottom shows roland fj50 but says there was a problem recognizing device (you know the little bubble that pops up when you first plug...

Thanks a bunch I will give that a try.

I am trying to decide what rip to use, would this be all I need to get it to communicate with the printer? What drivers did the machine bought new come with is there anyone who still has that original software?

I would like to get some insight on a newly acquired Roland FJ50. I have converted over to eco solvent but can not get the computer to communicate with the printer. I am running windows xp and it shows the printer in the device manager with a question mark beside it but I do not have any drivers...

I see Mosh is really the one that must be living in his mom's basement because he obvoiusly used his mom's leftover moose to take his avatar pic.:ROFLMAO: Trust me buddy there are printers for that amount out there and I will surely post it for all to drool over. But again the "pros" have not...

To answer your question Rising I have fixed cars without being taught(by classroom standards). I have taught myself how to do everything and that is by research. what is the use of taking a class on wrapping if I can't go back to my place of business and put to use what I have been taught? I...

I appreciate that comment Bigdawg! that is more like the kind of advice I need. You seem to understand where I am going. But the budget is just for the printer itself, I fully understand I will need inks,media,etc also.

Don't need the negative comments just advice. Circleville signs you obviously were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I have recently come across a Roland soljet sc-500 for $5000 that I personally saw print out a full color banner. So I know there are printers out there for the range I...

impossible? thanks for all the quick replies, but I guess some are missing my point. I would like to learn before I leap. I would also like to keep my bills to a minimum, I can't understand some of you "professional" sign guys out there saying that it is impossible because I know it isn't. I...

Hello all, I have searched all over the forums here and yet to find a list of eco solvent printers. If anyone can give me a hand it would help tremendously. I know many of you if not most are using what seems like the big three(roland,mutoh,mimaki) for your vehicle wraps. I am wanting to get in...

hello all, I am new to this forum and would like to issue a question to all the HP users out there. I am wondering if any HP wide format printers can use eco solvent inks. I am looking into starting a small banner/vehicle wrap shop and would like to invest in a good outdoor printer without...
