  1. Media Flange Guides

    they are better, since that crank expands the side that goes into the core, they do lock in fairly well. I've know people to use similar flanges from other brands, simply because they are much cheaper to buy.
  2. Bad test print on SolJet Pro 2

    looks like the caps aren't lining up with the heads, the cap mechanism is on slotted screws, and can be moved around. you can tell by looking at the front of the heads when they are docked, and should be evenly spaced between the "pillars" on the caps.
  3. Drop some knowledge on me.

    overlap on both sides, thats a new one. feed related? pinch roller arms cracked? if you can't align yellow with the vertical test print, use the bias to at least get it close.
  4. Drop some knowledge on me.

    yellow vertical alignment is way off. you cant see it in the vertical test print, but on the bias print you can see the yellow isn't level with the other colours. sometimes it's just that one nozzle that doesn't fire for the test prints, making them a bit more tedious to align.
  5. My Roland Versacam is telling me that the media width is 0.0 inches

    if not the cable, then the proximity sensor. i've seen it catch a media guide and get torn off. you can see the sensor from the back side of the printer, looking through the paper path. it's attached to the cut carriage, usually a white plastic connector. looks like the emitter on the end of a...
  6. VP540 - Contour Cut Head Depth

    no effect from cranking the force? usually the cut carriage board is faulted. Something about the voltage regulators. It's a cheap part, and easy replace. just be sure to adjust the crop mark outlevel voltage, if you use the crop-cut feature anyways, since it comes out of the box at more or...
  7. My Roland Versacam is telling me that the media width is 0.0 inches

    usually its the cut carriage cable is fatigued to the point the lines are iffy. Replacing it solves it, but you may be able to "play the slot machine" and keep trying to raise and lower the pinch roller arm, getting it to try the setup again. you might get the normal size eventually, and once...
  8. SP-540 How to find IP Address Using Roland InterCon-NetTool

    if it's an sp-540i, it's system info->network->ip address, subnet mask, gateway if it's an sp-540, or sp-540V, then it's net-tool. if it isn't showing up in net-tool almost immedialty after hitting the refresh and rebuild buttons, you can reset the network card on the printer by turning off the...
  9. Help!! Roland VS640 Printing issues nozzle check

    It's in the service menu->sub menu->choke CL You'll need the 5mm allen key that came with the printer, or any other 5mm key works too. the printer asks to close the valve, you'll see at the left end of the printer a small hole, with a rectangle pointing one way, usually vertically, and a square...
  10. Help!! Roland VS640 Printing issues nozzle check

    Choke cleaning is a good way to get nozzles back after replacing dampers. If that doesn't help it a lot, likely the cap is not aligned to the head.
  11. RIP for sc545ex

    i don't think versaworks is normally compatible with pro 2's without the USB hasp key. looks like an onyx key.
  12. Sp300v print problem

    banding only on one side is odd. try turning the heat off (or print in service mode, no heat there) just to rule out if one side of the heaters aren't working as well as the other. Given the overspray, and left-sidedness of the prints, i'd wonder about the long trailing cables having a wonky...
  13. Seeking guidance-replacing wiper motor-Roland Pro II_SC-540

    Things to be careful of are the cables for the pumps and sensor, they don't have a lot of slack to move them to a place that is easy to disconnect. Can't tell from the diagram, but it looks like all 4 screws are holding it down. The motors are the same, but the gear may be different. you...
  14. Seeking guidance-replacing wiper motor-Roland Pro II_SC-540

    take the whole wiper assembly out. 2 motor connections and one sensor, and the whole unit is only held in by a few 3mm allen screws. Haven't had to do it on a pro 2, but on versacamms one bolt is under the front apron, and one under the back. looks from the attached image the bolts are on the...
  15. Roland VP-540 cut marks detection question

    It's scooting the media because it thinks it's loaded skewed, and is correcting for it. It's either your crop marks are fuzzy, the board/filter for the crop reader are dirty or broken, or just need adjusting. The adjustment is the outlevel check in the cutting menu of the service menu. voltage...
  16. Cut consistency issues on your Versacamm? Look for this

    Print + cut, and crop-cut with cropmarks are 2 different adjustments. Oddly, crop-cut adjust is only in the service menu for that printer. Process is the same, with just one black square printed and cut, weed it and change values as necessary.
  17. Gray and Black printing green tint

    profile colorspace. In the quality tab, near the bottom is a drop-down bar, defaulted to pre-press US. Decent for colour accuracy, not so much for solid fills. Change it to density control only. It will likely mess up the colours of rasters, and make things generally less saturated and warm, but...
  18. Question about an SP-300

    Haven't seen colorRip in a while, but PS2 and PS3 make do discernible difference in printing or cutting as far as i can observe. I haven't tried a gradient or color gamut comparison, but for everyday use they seem the same. That being said, either or works on Versaworks, they should on...
  19. Cut consistency issues on your Versacamm? Look for this

    This happens enough to be aware of it. The pinch rollers on the versacamms aren't as robust as the pro series, and tend to fatigue and crack over time. It's a slow gradual process, so something you likely don't notice as it progresses. Attached picture shows where the crack usually forms, as...
  20. Head change - DIY video?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuPD-TlSK0 other than this printer being disgusting, the outlines the physical part pretty well. It's a different printer, but same procedure.
