Yeah sorry this printer is somewhat new to me as i was using a vinyl cutter mostly. I was able to change the caps, wipers and dampers as per a suggestion by a buddy of mine who has a similar machine at his shop. It would not print before the replacements. Thanks a lot for the suggestions I will...

Cap tops are new as are the wipers and dampers which I just replaced but that didn't fix the issue. How do perform a head soak?

Here's what the test shows.

Machine is a sp-300v. How do I perform a nozzle check? Thanks.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of these? Thanks.

Did the check and ink is cocming out of the waste tube. Machine worked for about 18 days perfectly fine after syphoning from the pump area. It stopped printing today after the weekend of sitting but a quick syphon and it's pringing again. Just had a little color contamination in the yellow but...

Well I just replaced the caps, dampers and wipers with OEM ones and problem is still there. The inks are Ecosol Max but at one point when it started failing it was on Solaris. Switched inks to factory Ecosol Max but to no avail.

What are the symptoms of a pump going bad on a SP-300V? I have a problem that I syphon the ink out through the dampers and my machine will print fine for a few then ink fades and stops printing. Dampers, caps and wipers are all new and have just been installed and I'm wondering if it may be the...

Wow, definately havent done them weekly. Is there hope for this machine?

Ive had it about a year and bought it second hand so don't know the maintenance history on it. I've done done manual cleansing once or twice and the ones by the system as well. Wish I knew what the problem was to order parts and get it working. So sounds like the heads?

Thanks for the suggestion. Checked the cartridge and theyre good. Got all the inks to finally come out but when we start printing they print well then eventually get lighter and then fade after syphoning with a syringe. Any ideas or suggestions? Keep syphoning maybe?

Well I bought a bigger syringe, the type for turkey injecting, and pulled from it that way from after the caps. All colors seem to be working except the magenta. Looks like I'm getting progress now. Thanks for the help! Any suggestions on gettin the magenta to print lastly?

Ok tried printing in a sigle color, no color comes out at all now. Replaced dampers and wipers also. Tried cleaning cycle and seems there is no ink flowing to the caps now lines look empty. I'm stumped.

Thanks very much for the advice. I will try that this afternoon. Where would I find the dampers on the machine?

Well today my magenta stoped printing in my SP-300V. I had Solaris ink and went back to ecosol max and still doing it. Tried sucking some of the ink through the lines as per a thread I found when searching the forum, to no avail. Any ideas? Tried solvent on the caps. Didn't work. First pic if...

Going to try the yellow square tomorrow thanks. Replaced caps but yellow still has some magenta tone to it and black showing some stripes.

Yeah they come out orangish on the nozzle checks as well.

Well long story short, my computer took a dump so I got a replacement. After installing all software I noticed that the yellow is now printing orangish. How can I correct this? Unit is a Roland SP-300V and running of versa works 2.00. Any info I left out, please let me know. Thanks. in advance.

Looking to add a new piece of equipment at our shop and ran into a used GX3000 printer by Graphtec. Does anyone have any experience with this printer? How available are the inks and what are pros and cons. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello I have a question which I did a search for but found no solution. I just upgraded to a vista computer and installed Lxi8 coming from Lxi6 on the old computer. Several of my saved work has fonts which the lxi8 will not recognise and I'm having a hard time finding the fonts on the old...
