Hi, firstly thank you for your response. I always appreciate it when someone finds the time to reply back :) At the moment I am using a CISS bulk ink system with my SP540v. I know a lot of people say not to do this but the thing is I have been using a bulk ink system with my epson ink jet...

Thank you so much this was exactly what I was looking for :) It was so simple and I had no idea how to do it so I really appreciate your response. I'm sure everyone on here knew how to do it apart from me haha. I wish I had discovered print and cut sooner as I've been doing sublimation and one...

Thank you guys, I figured it out. It was the scan speed. There's a few different settings depending on the profile. Unfortunately as my print heads do not fire accurately (Missing some lines in the cyan and black nozzles no matter how many head cleans or manual head cleans I do) I am forced to...

Thank you for your response. I suppose I better leave it as it is because I wouldn't want the prints to come out any worse. In fact printing using the high speed setting on Versaworks has also shown me a problem. The heads don't fire accurately. With my SP540v I bought it used just 2 weeks ago...

Hello everyone. I am aware that I am very late to the party but how do you adjust the print head speed? So far I have set the printer to only print the width of the media and also set it to print at high speed on Versaworks. Can the print head speed also be increased somehow? Thank you

Hi everyone, Quick question. How do you turn on high speed with the SP540v? I have set the printing width so that the print head doesn't go all the way to the edge on smaller media which saves a lot of time. But I saw a video last night where the printer displayed the text "high speed" I...

Thanks for the reply John. The vinyl which I'm using is quite thin and the blades seem okay. I do believe that a third pinch roller will sort this out because it seems to be doing an excellent job contour cutting on smaller rolls. My last question is to do with posters. I have another roll that...

Hi John, I have just cleaned the encoder strip and now the prints are perfect :) No more fuzziness and the lines are completely gone. I think the contour cutting is also a lot more accurate now too!! However when I'm print and cutting stickers out at a roll that is 1300mm the contour cut seems...

I see, I had no idea that the encoder strip can cause so many problems as my ink jet printers never had any issues. I suppose there's a lot more maintenance and moving parts for a print and cut machine. In regards to the pinch rollers do you think I need to buy and add more? Right now I am using...

Thank you John I will give this a go tomorrow :) May I ask why you think it's the encoder strip and why it would cause that problem? Also I wanted to add that the printer only came with 2 pinch rollers so I have to use one on each side and nothing to keep the middle pressured into place. When I...

Hello everyone, I have recently purchased a used Roland SP540V. This is the first print and cut printer that I have used coming from a cheap chinese vinyl cutter/plotter. I haven't yet manually cleaned the printheads and printer itself yet but have ran a few powerful clean tests. The nozzle...

Frustrating beginnings to Print and Cut :(
