In my experience when Rolands give the temp too high error it's actually the head thermistor and it's heating up because of a short circuit. Check your head cables for damage or ink splatter on the leads. It could just be a failing head as well.

I would flush the lines with cleaning solution and replace the dampers. You're also probably going to need a new cap top as they dry out/flatten when they sit there unused for so long. While you're in there you might as well flush the pump and waste tubes to make sure they aren't clogged. The...

I hate SEO companies. The major reason is their aggressive marketing tactics. I get emails and calls every day. The other reason is, in most cases for small companies, there aren't going to be enough changes to your site every month to justify paying a monthly fee to someone who's doing...

If no matter what you do it still acts funky during the limit initialization, it's probably the servo board. Post a picture of the blurry prints though. That might give more insight.

lol I'm going to have to use that from now on.

These machine shave a mind of their own sometimes!

It's virtually impossible for all of the dampers fail at the same time. If you're just pulling air at the cap top, that's what's causing the ink not to flow. Do you have the old cap top to throw in and see if it does any better?

The main reasons head strikes happen are: The heat is too high causing the media to buckle The pinch rollers aren't feeding properly causing the media to buckle The material is too thick for the machine There's ink build up on the bottom of the head The vacuum is failing or clogged with dust

That sounds right. Unfortunately it sounds like everything is setup correctly but it's just not sealing for some reason. The fact that you couldn't recover the old head points towards the same thing. It's rare that the cap is misaligned but I would get some black ink on a swab and swab it around...

It might be a firmware thing. Different regions of the world get different firmware sometimes based on which inks are legal etc. Sometimes these machines save the ink type so when you try to fudge the fill up parameter it only gives you the original ink you chose as an option. At this point if...

When the fuse blows it doesn't affect the ink flow in the lines when doing cleanings. So your main issue is the ink flow. Once you get ink flowing to the head, if it still prints nothing, then you can suspect the fuse. It sounds like the cap top isn't sealing for some reason. Make sure that...

I assume the dampers were OEM too then? Did you change the connector and o-ring along with the dampers?

That's normal. When the head is capped though, you shouldn't hear air.

Ok so that means the cap isn't sealing. Make sure the head is in low head height and double check that the head is not crooked in the carriage. I usually push the head carriage over the platen and check the gap between the head and the platen. The head surface and the platen should be parallel...

Should be under Ink Parameter 1 and it should be the 1st parameter.

If ink isn't moving at all in all colors it means the maintenance station isn't working properly. Make sure you attached the 3rd tube to the bottom of the cap top. That one tends to be forgotten sometimes during installs and will prevent a seal from forming. If that's connected properly, you can...

It's weird. All over the CJV150 spec sheet it says you can use ES3 ink but in the tech manual it doesn't show as an option to change in the parameters. If it were me I would change the fillup flag to 0 to tell the machine it needs to fill up for the first time. Then it should ask you what type...

I'd love to try a real Australian beer! When you boot up in local mode, hit enter a few times and it will scroll through some information on the screen. One of those screens will have information about the ink levels and it should show the ink type it's expecting in the top left corner. What...

I was that kid in high school. My dad had disappeared years earlier and my mom was raising 5 kids alone. She couldn't come to all the meets but showed up at the end of year award ceremonies and sometimes the other moms would make little comments about, "Why is she here? etc" We both let it roll...

You can download the ones Mutoh provides here. Otherwise check the vinyl manufacturer's site.
