You can try flushing the head with a syringe and cleaning solutions but that can cause damage to the internal membrane. You can also take the manifold off and flush just that which can withstand much more pressure. The two screws on the bottom of the head hold the manifold on. Just be sure when...

You also have some cross contamination in the cyan which can be a sign of a bad cap top. You could try that as well. Just in my experience, when the nozzle check looks like that, it's almost never 100% recoverable but you might get it closer to something you can use.

You can try hooking a syringe up to those channels and flushing it with flushing solution but it could cause internal damage that will cook the head for good. It's usually a last ditch effort before getting a new head. If you can't get it to recover with flushing, you'll need a new head.

You should be able to just put it back into remote and it should start where it left off. I've usually seen this happen when there needs to be a firmware update.

The black is causing the problem for sure. You can try doing head soaks and try to manually flush that channel but that looks too far gone to recover unfortunately.

The only thing that will prevent ink from flowing through the head is a clog. Nozzles don't open an close like a lot of people think. They are always open and use pressure to keep ink in and shoot dots out. So it must be clogged. Have you tried doing head soaks yet?

I agree with media comp and also maybe turn up the heat. Looks like the ink sitting on top rather than biting into the vinyl.

365 used to be a merchant member as well but Firesprint is also a great choice. You can tell they take pride in their work.

We've had board repaired by Ed before. Worth a shot.

Even as a well used machine that's a steal! Wish I was in the area.

I agree with above. You have an electrical issue and it's usually bad cables. It could be a failing head and/or other electrical part though.

You need to use the offset setting that is listed on the blade packaging. Roland has 60 degree blades that have an offset as low as 0.1mm and as high as 1mm.

In my experience these heads don't clog within days. They are almost always recoverable after sitting for even weeks. Are you sure the cap top isn't just clogged? Especially if it's an after market one, they can clog very fast. A head that sits without cleaning for 4 days should be recoverable.

Signs365.com will do it for $2.99 per sqft. on 3M IJ35 with lam.

I've never worked on an LEC model but most Rolands are similar. If your bidirectional alignment is maxed out and still not aligned, you need to run the bidirectional alignment in service mode first to 0 out user mode.

We spray painted my Patriot's loving buddy's car with Broncos colors for his bachelor party. I believe what we used was called Plasti Dip. It came off with a standard car wash pressure washer.

You can slap a long piece of masking tape on the vinyl to the take up roll and that way you just waste masking tape instead of material. I've seen multiple shops do it that way and it seems to work great.

Sounds like a good plan. The port should be 9100 BTW.

There should be an IPv4 address under the ethernet adaptor heading. Since there isn't, it means there isn't a connection being made between the printer and computer. So it has to be something keeping it from connecting like a bad cable or hardware.

That could be a sign that the cable, the ethernet port on the computer, or the ethernet port on the printer might not be working properly. Do you see any lights, blinking or solid, on either of the ethernet ports?
