Thanks very much!

Or would anyone happen to have an XC-540 Service Manual they could send me? I'm assuming that would explain everything.

I'm proud of myself, just replaced my first print head. I've watched our tech do the alignments before, but am not remembering clearly which screw makes which adjustment. I know, it should probably be obvious, but...Is it left screw=bias adjustment, middle screw=vertical? And then how is the...

Hi! I'm attempting this repair myself since our repair guy isn't available right away (HE did the diagnosing, however). Anyone have tips on replacing the print carriage board? Is it just a matter of unplugging everything, switching out, re-plugging? Thanks!

I checked...nothing stuck in the hole. We've decided to wait until our repair guy can come. Decided it's likely the head out.

Yes, I was able to pull the ink :-)

Changing the damper corresponding to the missing left side made no difference. Then I tried switching the new left-side damper and the old right-side damper, with the result that NONE of the magenta would print. That seems like a strange result...unless my new damper is defective?? Does that...

VanderJ, I've replaced a damper, but I think the syringe I have is too big. I'm not able to attach it well enough to get much suction, so I haven't been able to pull much ink into the damper. Is the machine going to be ok if I just put everything back together and leave it until I can go find a...

Thanks very much!

My XC-540 now has this problem (half of the magenta test print is missing), and I'm wondering what you guys' conclusion was...is this more likely to be an electrical problem? It happened all of a sudden, mid-print. I've done cleanings and suctioned the black ink tube with a syringe (I get ink...

To print crazy files like this... just open the file in Photoshop. Then I always reduce the resolution under "Image Size" to make the file size smaller (usually 100 dpi, but you can go smaller depending on size, viewing distance, etc.). Save as .pdf. I think it asks if you want to save...

Thanks so much! Could you explain a little bit about what VM'ing is? I don't need to know how to do it, just how to talk to computer guys about it! :-)

Hi! I recently needed a new computer, so we reluctantly went with Windows 10. We are still running a Roland SolJet Pro XC-540. Our computer tech support company was able to rig it somehow (in compatibility mode?) to be able to run the Roland from my Windows 10. But then Windows did a major...

Exact same problem recently. I tried ordering a new blade holder, but it didn't help. It seemed like the blade was slipping out of position in the holder. It DOES help (for a week or so at a time) to remove the holder, adjust the blade, and put the holder back in tightly. I would like to know...

Sign up for Staples Rewards... they will recycle up to 10 ink cartridges per month and give you $2 per cartridge. I think you also have to buy a certain amount of ink (desktop printer) from them too, to get the "reward," but it's not much.

It usually helps me to tighten up the tension on the back bar (that's holding the roll of lam). Seems like the tension needs to be checked and adjusted a few times as I use up the roll. I would love to see this new way of webbing the machine too though, SignMeUpGraphics!

Thanks, everybody! Special thanks to VanderJ...you are really good at explaining things clearly! Second time you've helped me this week :)

Hi! Does anyone have any tips for creating something like this (4ft x 12ft), where the customer sends a large number of .jpgs and wants them all on one sign? My concerns are 1) the resulting file size and 2) just the shear tedium of importing each individual image. In this case, I opened each in...

Thanks, VanderJ!

This is a very helpful thread. However I'm still unclear on this...if a customer is wanting, for example, the side of a semi trailer wrapped, it's not really possible to design & save at actual size, is it? So if it's designed at, say 10%, does the resolution need to be higher for it to look...
