I'll try that. I filled the capping station with solvent, but only let it sit for a few minutes before running a test print. I'll try letting it sit for about an hour and try. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with my magenta not printing. I did several cleanings, a couple of medium head cleanings, replaced my almost empty (but not quite) magenta with a fresh one and still nothing. When doing test prints there are only a few magenta lines printing. I replaced the old pump...

Thanks for the quick responses!

After it air dried for a while it seemed to adhere better. I used a profile for translucent white film since I didn't know what profile to use. I'll try what you guys recommended. It's being installed in the top 3 panels of a store window above the door so it will be out of reach from...

Can someone help me out ASAP? I'm supposed to install this stuff tomorrow and still haven't printed it out.

I've never made my own profile before. Would your profile work for me? If so, can you send me the settings? Or, if I have to figure out the best settings for my printer, what steps should I take in order to do this? Thank you!

I just got some Solvex perf window film and couldn't find a profile on my SP300 that matched. I did a test print using one of the profiles, but even though the ink looks and feels pretty much dry some of it comes off when you brush your finger over it. Does anyone know the best settings for...

Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I can't believe you guys don't charge for this! (Ha Ha). Don't worry, I figured it out. Will try to make future posts more "respond-worthy".

I've got an SP-300 and I'm about to change to the new pump and wanted to know if there is a newer driver I could download. I know I have to update the Firmware, but didn't know if there was a new driver or RIP (I'm currently using Roland's ColorRIP v2.0). Thanks!

My 300 was bought used several months ago from an individual and came like this. So far I haven't had any problems printing or cutting, but I didn't want it to catch and jam up like what happened to Ken. I wouldn't think that a cable would cost that much, so I'm not sure if it would be worth...

My Ribbon Cable is doing the same thing (making bad slapping sound) It hasn't affected the prints or jammed or anything yet, but sounds horrible. Do you have to order a new one through Roland? How much?

I've noticed that on close examination of my printing the ink looks like it's slightly bleeding. Is this normal? From a distance it looks fine, maybe very slightly blurred because of the bleeding issue though. I'm new to this and bought the printer along with a bunch of vinyl that wasn't...

It was confirmed I have the old pump. Waiting to hear back from the Dealer. In the meantime I did try the syringe trick and it did work. So, I am able to print now, but I still plan on getting the new pump. And I found a set of new wipers in the extra stuff that came with the printer. No...

I'm new to the Print/Cutter field, but from my experience with injet printers, it sounds like some of the red ink has migrated to the yellow, causing the color change. Not 100% certain, but I've had this happen to inkjet printers before. Maybe run a couple of cleaning cycles and see if it...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the catalog link Gerry, and Phillip, I'll try to get a copy of that magazine. I just got the SP-300 a week or two ago and know absolutely nothing about this end of the business. I'm a graphic designer that has been slowly trying to bring in as much machinery as I...

A newbie question I know, but I couldn't find this answer anywhere. Will the SP-300 actually print and cut on magnet material or do you have to print on vinyl and apply to the magnet seperately? I've got a client that wants some custom cut magnets in a small quantity. I would normally get this...

Not to stray from the subject, but I just bought a used SP-300 that still has the old pump and the Roland dealer said he was out of stock currently and couldn't guarantee it would still be free per the recall. So, is the pump recall still current? Should I inform the dealer if so? Thanks.

Finally got ahold of a Rep, sent me a picture of a "Good" pump and a "Bad" pump and it looks like I have a bad one from the picture. Not sure if "Good" pump refers to the upgrade or not. He also suggested replacing the wipers and mist sponge (Good call Kenny). Waiting to hear back from...

It could be an old pump seeing as though the printer is a 2003 model. I'll try to find a Roland Rep nearby. Thanks Mason. And Mediaman, good point. Don't want to spend any more than I have to. I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks High Impact, I may try the syringe thing. I've got a few pictures for you guys to look at. Don't know if this helps,but: http://www.harvilledesign.com/harvilledesign/sp_300.html
