We do but we're waiting on a stocking order at the moment. But like I mentioned above, try a cap top first. It's way cheaper and it's usually the issue. The old one can look perfectly fine and still not be sealing correctly due to the rubber becoming more brittle over time.
Feel free to contact us. Looks like we have better pricing on the DX4, DX5 and DX7 heads if that is what you're looking for. We're an actual Mutoh and Mimaki dealer so can't get more legit than that! Solventinkjet.com
Yeah a 60º blade and make sure to change the offset setting to the proper number. Different angle blades require different offsets. The offset for your blade should be on the package it comes in or you can usually look it up.
Thanks! We had some pretty major technical issues a few weeks ago so we missed a few calls and emails. Got everything back up and running now! We've got a customer possibly upgrading their printer in that area so maybe we'll swing by.
New computers tend to have power saving setting turned on. Make sure the computer isn't set to sleep after a certain amount of time. Sometimes it is set to just turn the hard drive or network off as well.
You just have to flush them first. It's the shipping fluid that is incompatible with the ink. Although the old heads are no longer made so there shouldn't be problems in the future.
I assume you mean the UJV300? Rasterlink doesn't use spot colors to do white and clear unfortunately. It has you pick a CMYK value that you then replace with white and/or clear. Here's a YouTube video on how to set it up for white. It works similar for the varnish. There are definitely some...
Sorry I'm late to the party. Yes that is usually a clogged waste line. With the new inks, they came out with a retro fit tube system that is supposed prevent clogging. The new inks dry faster so I guess the angle of the tube needs to be steeper to drain faster into the tank.
As a Mutoh dealer, when the new inks came out, we got a memo describing which head part numbers were compatible with the new inks and which were not. Even with the ones that are not, you could flush them and still use them. Dealer should have known.
I think you're thinking of the VP540 not the VS540. The VS only has one head that, if he's using a Roland dealer, will go for around $3k, $2k if you source it form someone like us. He's also in Durango, CO and the nearest major city Albuquerque over 200 miles away so most of it is probably...
Honestly, non-OEM inks have improved greatly in the last 10 years. It used to be the reliable ones were far and few between and even the good ones had bad batches once in a while. These days I don't hear nearly as many horror stories as I used to. It's gotten to the point that the OEM guys have...
I've heard of Rolands doing more cleaning with 3rd party inks for sure but not permanently. Still a sketchy practice in my opinion. Have you tried resetting to factory defaults and recalibrating the printer?
Sweet!
Check your nozzle test. Is there any cross contamination happening? Sounds like the yellow and magenta might be mixing. It would be weird for Cyan to get into the yellow to make it green because they have different heads and cap tops but there is a Y connector that connects the cap tops...
Might be time to change the cut strip. Check it for any grooves that are cut into it. Usually the right side gets used more so it wears faster and you get an uneven strip.
In that case it might be damage to the servo board. I've never seen a power surge break a motor but it could cause damage to the servo board. It could be other things but from what you describe, that's the direction I'm thinking.
Run the limit position initialization function. It will tell the machine what size it is and then it will know it's an SP-540. Your machine's battery is probably dead as well.
