Knight, I would check your head gap.........Your service tech should have the jig needed to set the height. My .02 GTSTech_1

6 to 8 billion shots is what the manufactures will tell you.......I have a customer that runs multiple Roland Pro 2's with 3 shifts....the printers only are idle for cleanings and loading/unloading materials......they get about 2 years use for each head. But note that the shot counts are in the...

You could try replacing the captop and dampers, but looking at the overspray on the print, I would say be prepared for a head replacement. My .02 GTSTech_1

Did you bleed out any air in the Magenta line? Ink wants to migrate backwards once you disconnect the damper from the printhead (to get the air out, push the circle and allow ink to flow out the bottom. If no air in the line, I would check the stem/nipple on the printhead....it's possible to...

Damaged heads is a possibility, move the carriage to the leftside (like your doing your manual cleaning) and inspect the surface of the printheads.....a scratch going across the head (left to right) is usually a kiss of death for the head. If no scratches/damage, I would continue the soaking...

1,495.00 is MSRP to upgrade Versaworks to run the SJ-540. Do you know if your SJ-540 was updated to run the EcoSol Max inks? my .02 GTSTech_1

Could also be the replacement bearings. Roland doesn't sell just the bearings, you have to replace the whole rail when dealing with Roland OEM parts. My .02 GTSTech_1

Have you tried to move the carriage by hand to feel any rough/resistance spots? Possible that the scan motor bearings in the new motor have gone bad. If the cable isn't at the proper tension it could wear out the bearings, if tension is too light then the slack in the back in forth motion could...

Yes it does, but once the pumps run then....Poof, gone is the cleaning solution that the head is supposed to be soaking in....thus the earlier post about pinching off the tubes. My .02 GTSTech_1

You can try to continue the "soaking" of the heads. You def got deflection, not only in the black head, but also in the Cyan and Light Cyan head as well. If the soaking doesn't clear out the deflection, then replacing heads is the solution. My .02 GTSTech_1

I would check the head fuse 1st. If blown it would prevent any ink from jetting because no electrical signal being received. If fuse is ok, then try drawing ink from captop, if you can draw, then likely head is dead. As for the model numbers you have, I have been a Mutoh dealer since 05 and...

Check the force setting for the PerfCut in versaworks, sounds like the force is too high. My .02 GTSTech_1

Slider Board could be on the way out. Only way to test it would be to swap the cables at the slider board and see if the problem moves to another color/head. My .02 GTSTech_1

Confirm that your offset is set to .5 when using a 60 deg blade, .25 when using a 45 deg blade (change it under advance setting under cutter controls). Also confirm that you have an EPS margin set to at least .01 (I usually set it to .05, change it under file format tab in VersaWorks). My .02...

Confirm the T-Fence is inside the encoder sensor. Also The T-Fence comes with a protective strip that needs to be removed. My .02 GTSTech_1

Confirm the head height is adjusted (when initializing).....I had a customer with a VJ-1608H (Which was the previous model to the 1617) that swore his head was out of alignment. Once I was onsite, I noticed he never hit the enter button to change the height, when he did hit enter his alignment...

You'll need to disconnect the handle from the bar and remove the wiper system to gain access to the metal C clamp. Takes me about 2 hours to complete that repair. My .02 gtstech_1

You have some major deflection in that Magneta channel. From the looks of the Star pic you posted, looks to be out of alignment, but could just be the deflection. Disconnect the captop, and pinch it off, then fill the captop with cleaning solution. Let it "Soak" for an hour. Reconnect the...

That code is not listed on my "Inkjet Error Code" pdf. Perhaps try to reload or update the firmware. My .02 GTSTech_1

Are you getting any error messages from Versaworks or from the printer? Perhaps your computer is going into "sleep" mode, usually get a "time out" message if this is the case. My .02 GTSTech_1
