What media are you trying to print on? Do a test with a piece of photo paper from your home printer 8 1/2 x 11. See if you still get a grainy print. What does the reg test print show for missing anything? On the bias test print do the lines line up almost exact or are they off about a...

Tim, Tim, Tim........ But you know Garlic chicken and snow peas sounds kinda good.....and if you are hungry....

From Left to Right : K C M (Lc or Orange) (Lm or Green) Y If you use waterbased you can use the Orange /Green combo instead of Lc/Lm. For solvent I don't think there is a Orange/Green to use. Some are even just printing with CMYK and not using any of the Lc/Lm but I do ok with color as is and...

Not sure what that media is but are you talking about using a waterbased media on a solvent printer. If this is what you are asking then other than the cost of the coated media is 4 times the cost or more of standard solvent media, I think you can print on some coated media. I know some...

I do have 2 CJ 500's and 1 FJ 42. Only 1 CJ was converted to solvent so I can tell you first hand how a CJ 500 prints with solvent and waterbased. When I printed a test on Mac 7 canvas (Rolands) the waterbased had better color as in bright and close to the original art work. I made a post a...

Media will play a big roll in a grainy print. Get some matte vinyl or even take a page of photo paper from your home printer and do a test print on that. You will be surprised what it can look like on basic photo paper. A better media like cast vinyl will print better as well. If you had...

No, once you do the conversion you would not want to go back and forth. If it were as simple as a flush and then swithch ink it may be worth it, but it does not work that way. If the solvent comes into contact with water based ink it gels up and plugs stuff. You would be better off buying a...

I think when you test cut off the printer menu it will use the set pressure you have assigned in the printer. But..... if you have your printer set to override your printer setting and use your rip settings then you need to make sure your rip is set right. When you change media and it has a...

I just fell off my chair....... I did not think you could use Color Choice to add made profiles. I did not know by selecting just CMYK it would let you add profiles. All the ones I made now show up. Now to just try some of them you linked to and see if they print any better. I now rarely use...

Not sure on the material but, In a pinch you can try this if you have no orings and need something to seal the line: Take the pump tube line and cut just a 1/16 to 1/8 inch off. It is usually just the right diameter tube to go over the ink line inside the brass nut. Have never tried it...

Thats bad....... no good...... no no... still bad......

The ladies are going to feel left out....... never seen that before

The damper should hold ink in the line as well as in the damper. There would need to be a major draw coming from the cart to cause the damper to empty back into the cart. Not for sure on how easy it is for you to get a syringe, remove the brass nut on the damper that holds the main ink line...

Not sure if this could be a cause or not. I don't have the Mutoh buy I think the old Roland CJ and SC 500 have the same print heads and capping station from your photos. When you replace a cart you need to make sure that an air bubble has not been able to enter the line due to changing out...

Ohhhhhhh...... so that day I was out late golfing and came back in........ that was a look of defiance......... that makes me feel so much better......I'll let you know how this works out.....

You know..... I hate it when the green light is on but nobody is home...... pinch yourself....... you might be dreaming..... and........ a picture of a grumpy kid showed up in my friends list..... What are people going to think about me being friends with a grumpy kid.. on line.....

I don't think this would help if you are having issues with your media feeding in and out straight. In fact there are not many takeup reels if any that will let you rewind off the reel as you cut. You might need to look at your feed rollers and see if they need a cleaning. I find that using...

One issue with using any aftermarket ink is that the standard Roland profiles may print ok as for quality of print but won't give an accurate color compared to what it should look like. You would need to get a profile made from you printing a set of test charts that would then have to be sent...

That is one nice thing about the older Rolands..... the SC 500 CJ 500 FJ 42,52 all do not need the chip to read. So you can use the 220 size refill carts or most carts for Roland printers for that matter, and not worry about the chip. As for how it reads how full a cart is, when you put in a...

First make sure all the carts are set into the printer all the way. If all the carts are sticking out the same then they should all be set right. (compare them to the couple cart lines that did fill). Next you may have a blockage in some of the drain lines or (not sure on your printer) the...
