Since the EJ isn't a cutter, it won't have that calibration. You have to do it on the plotter. You're calibrating the reg mark sensor relative to the knife, so it has to be done on the plotter. There's a calibration in service mode that uses black vinyl to calibrate this, I'm not sure how to...

If it's off at the start, then you need to adjust the print/cut calibration or it may be called crop/cut. If it changes through the job, then you likely have either a distance adjustment error or you need to replace your pinch wheels. I wouldn't use adhesive remover on your plotter. Don't use...

Let's start with the printhead. What does the nozzle test look like? Roland GCVP profile should give pretty good results on that media. Good Luck,

When you load your media, you've accidentally set it to "Front Set" It happens all the time with that model. It's been too long since I've run one of those. Look before you lower the pinch wheels or right after. You should have the option to change that. I believe it was using the uip and...

That's Summa options. This is a plotter driver specific option. SAi is generally favorable to improving their product and a suggestion like this makes a lot of sense. However it won't happen in time to get your job done. You're going to have to work this out another way. Print some reg...

Can you describe the problem better? What material? Laminated or not? Are the cuts all off in the same direction? Does it work sometimes? Since it's not likely that one of us will come to your shop, more info is needed if you expect any kind of quality help here. Pictures help if you can post...

Excellent advice that we always try to recommend to our customers when they say they want white ink. The problem with switching back and forth (not really a viable option in my opinion) is that you have a circulating system for the white channel. Moving to cleaning fluid in that channel isn't a...

You could get a USB to Ethernet adapter and connect that way - and run both printers. You could get another computer and run them separately. Depending on your network, it could be other traffic on the network causing the problem, or the computer, or the ethernet card on the printer. Also...

Just for a starting point, since this has been replaced by the VG2-540, you can probably figure about half of what a new printer would sell for. There is no warranty to offer with it (Roland doesn't allow transfer of warranty) and low hours is generally not a good thing with these machines...

That's a choke valve solenoid error. The solenoids control which cartridge is feeding the head. Did you power it off for 5 minutes and back on again? Next I would update your firmware to the latest version. After that, I'd call your tech to come take a look at it. It could be a fuse, the...

Can it print? - Not the right question. It probably can print, but will you get the results you need is what you should be asking. Roland's compliant traffic media is Oralite 5900 with 5061 Laminate for permanent signage. So you can assume that it can print on the 5900. I'm not familiar with...

Your dealer will have to get qualified with Roland to sell this, but it's not a big deal - just education on the whole thing. I was able to get it done in an afternoon. The Roland package is teamed up with Oralite for the certified end product. Yes it is using the tried and true Roland inks...

Ask for part number US-Thumbscrew - Roland America sourced a screw with stronger steel to prevent them from stripping out as easily as the originals from Japan did. Good Luck

Roland has a couple of inks that look similar. ESL3 and ESL4. To complicate it, they're also called Ecosol Max and Max 2. Your printer should take the ESL4/Max 2 inks. If you got the other ink, then it would cause this problem. Also, if you're using a third party ink, you can get this...

Offer to cover up the vandalism with a partial wrap...

Yup - What unclebun said - you have to buff that off with a polishing compound. It's a big job.

These all inclusive packages HP/3M, Mutoh/Avery and others are utilizing an integral RIP with custom CMYK formulations of ink that are specific to the ink/media/rip settings combination. A L*a*b* value may work during daylight, but might not give the correct color when viewed at night with the...

Don't you have a tech there to set it up for you?

What you're talking about here is that the person who profiles the Roland Generics is VERY good with building profiles for the Roland printers. Your idea of "good", in this case, memory colors may be different from someone else's idea of "good" which could mean color accuracy - matching a...

It helps to run an air filter / Air purifier constantly in the room as well. I used to just run a 20" box fan in my shop with a 20" furnace filter taped over the intake side. It did a decent job for only a few bucks. Good Luck
