Not sure what that machine has. Google them, they look completely different you should be able to tell from pics.

UPDATE: Just in case anyone was wondering I flushed out the lines with Roland ink cleaning cartridges (I would pull several syringes through, let it sit for a day or two then pull more until I was pulling clear solution out. Very time consuming.) Installed all my new parts which was just about...

I don't know anything about Solaris, but we use Inktec and I think the determining factor when deciding if you should go with aftermarket ink should be how often you printer(s) get used. We run our printers (16 of them now, soon to be 18) 24/5 all year and 24/6 during the busy season so we save...

We've had a similar issue with one of our xj-540 for months now. Ours starts banding after a while on the magenta head like its an ink starvation issue. I've replaced the head, head board, dampers, and all cables associated with that head. I've also cleaned the ink lines, I even took the needle...

Is the cable a crossover cable?

What do you mean by "you people"??? How dare you sir!

Did you input the head rank correctly?

Did you try cleaning your encoder sensor?

Clean all your capping stations then run a cleaning. You most likely aren't getting a good seal to the print head so when you do a cleaning the pumps are only sucking air. You can check this by putting a syringe on the bottom of the damper hose. If you pull air your not getting a good seal.

I have an issue where the magenta head is not printing in the correct location some of the time on our xc-540. I have already cleaned the encoder strip and sensor but it hasn't helped. i have attached pictures let me know what you guys think. It's happening on multiple jobs that print fine on...

Epson DX4 is the head that's on the xc-540.

This is directly out of my xc-540 manual: 1 Foreign substances - Manual Cleaning - User's Manual - When foreign substances such as fiber dust are stuck on the surface of the Head, Ink sometimes leaks from it. Wipe the surface of Head with a cleaning stick. We've wiped several heads off and...

Did you ever try changing the long ribbon cable from the head board to the carriage board?

We have xc-540s but I can say a syringe is your best friend when trying to recover nozzles. Whenever I have missing nozzles first thing I do is put a syringe on the capping station of that head and the other head that's on the same pump to see if there is a good seal. If there isn't a good seal...

If you are talking about the one that shows the cyan head constantly firing on several test prints and the black on one then yes I did. Like I said we had the exact same thing happen on 2 different machines. One time it was a bad head, the other a bad head board. You've eliminated the head since...

Since you only have the problem for part of the print, I would replace the cables from the carriage board to the head board. It seems if it were a board issue you would always have the problem, not just in certain locations. Those cables get bent every time the printer makes a pass so think...

When you say you replaced the cables did you replace the long cables going from head board to the carriage board? That would be my first guess since it only does it at a certain point. If you replace that and the problem doesn't go away it is most likely the head board itself. Inspect the board...

I am a technician at a personalization company and I do all the repairs on our Rolands myself. I've had no training on Rolands, but I do have an associate degree in electrical technology and worked at a plastic container factory for 4 years before I got my current job about a year ago. That...

We started cleaning ours with acetone and it works great! Never had any issues with it damaging them.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I got swamped. It is a print head issue. We took the print head off and flushed it with ink cleaner and it is running good... for now. Usually when we've had bad print heads the test print(s) have issues as well but not this time which is why I wasn't sure it...
