you know the ones, they retain the ribbon cables and tiny circuit boards (2 piece plastic rivet 2.5mm or 3 mm diameter) on the older roland printers does anyone have a part # to order a bag of 100 or so they are hard enough to put in when they are new and i am getting blinder by the day...

since i have never used one, WHAT THE HELL DO THE ROLAND MEDIA CLAMPS for my sc545-ex attach to? i have repaired dozens of roland machines, but, every now and then i see something i just don't get the point of. are they supposed to catch in the grooves in the direction the carriage moves? i...

i have been considering getting one of the newer generation of roland printers, with one thing stopping me (besides being incredibly cheap) it kind of outrages me that you are locked out of service menu. my position is once roland is paid, they no longer have standing to lock me out of my own...

a couple months back, i modified the roland to hold 3 54" rolls i was inspired by the OCE that can do a roll change all by itself, in the middle of a job as i get older it becomes more of a PITA to change a full 54" roll so this morning i printed a couple things before running out the door to do...
