Just because his color was off you had to do that to him..... Now I want to see the "part", now that he is neutered. And nice work.

Always make sure your pump lines are clear when you get drop out and not recharging after cleaning. Think of it this way, the cleaning cycle does a vibrating sort of thing to the heads while cleaning and then the pump sucks the ink out and recharges as it does so. If the drain lines are...

Yes as said, check that set of clear lines as well as that small rec. box that they go to. It almost sounds that the capping station might not be air tight and those clear lines and rec. box create air flow when the capping station moves off the captops. But while seated they create a vaccum...

Thanks for the tip.

X2 This will help a lot. Thanks

Have you ever used Magiclee SLB-7 (Intelicoat backlit film). Listed as a 7 mil has diffused backing so the image is very good when lit. Waterbased or solvent printable. There are others similar to that but I have only used this one. Could laminate with a thicker laminate to be more...

Wow.... so many question for you but might have to do over the phone. By the look of that test print for the heads, you may not have the latest firmware installed. The latest prints 4 rows of each color. Yours looks like 2 rows only??? Black head is in tough shape but the other look not...

To get into the service menu: For CJ500,SC500,FJ 42,52 etc While printers front panel power button is off but main power switch on do the following on the arrow key pad. It's like an "s" and "v" shape to remember easier. up,left,right,down, left, down, right and after that hold all three...

Check this as well. Look in the captops right after the heads move from doing a cleaning. Does the ink pool or flood the captops for a few second or at all? Do I have this right as well, I assume your issue happens while printing or does it happen after the printer sat for a while between...

What may have caused this new issue would involve replacing or taking off the dampers from the heads. It may be possible that one of the nibs on the head was cracked when removing the damper. If you are not pulling straight up when you remove the damper (and on water based they are tight) you...

Crown or no Crown........ you are the man. What material are you using? I have some samples of precision board that I hope to test soon.

I don't get it, :banghead: I'm almost out of fonts now with all the fonts that you guys don't like. Although with only 3 left now, it makes doing the layouts easier. And I do see the kerning is off between the f and o.

Just did one a couple weeks ago for the Arena here. What they wanted the graphic on was a .030 styrene sheet (size of 33 1/2" x 96") cheap, light and easy to cut with a blade. From there that sheet was attached to the boards and the existing lexan clear sheet was put back in front. Make...

I don't think Gino made it back yet from 2010...... he's still trying to find someone to bet with on the 2011 Superbowl. I'm gona miss him.....

Having an electrical short has to be the worst. Hard to tell what all has been blown. Also could be that $60 part away from it working...... When you get to $2000 in parts you might want to stop and go the other way and start selling the printer in pieces....... then to figure out which...

Is this it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Encoder-stripe-sensor-for-Roland-printers-SJ-FJ-SJ-XC-SC-series-/300650199950?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460025fb8e

That report is in the service menu. Do you know how to get in there? If not then you may want a service manual as well. Very handy to have. If not and for others finding this thread: For CJ500,SC500,FJ 42,52 etc Some slightly newer Roland printers are similar by doing the letters in...

You are welcome. I may not have cured your problem but the new profile may be a start. As for the file in question. There was one corner that was supposed to be a darker blue but was coming out purple. With my desktop laser printer, that file looked normal and, the blue was a blue. Now with...

You mean 1" short in the length for a 4 foot run or 2" for an 8 foot run? You have a scan calibration (which is across the printer left to right) and a feed calibration (what the rollers do to feed out the media). They are saying check the feed calibration in the service menu. I think...

To answer my own question in case others want to know, these flanges do have a knob to tighten and a rubber seal exspands in the core to hold tighter. They seem to work well. They are priced by the each so a set up here was $80.
