The CJ and SC 500 can't run either white or metalic from what I know. I think you also might be meaning the FJ 40,42 or 50,52 printers that can be converted. If you do a conversion yourself you can do it for under $1000 depending on what you use for heat plates. You can pick up a converted CJ or...

I think you are on the right track with gluing the heat strips in. I have my temp reading device (cooking probe) right inside the between the heat cables and the platten so it may read a slight bit hotter than the top of the platten where the media touches but still reads consistant. With...

Has it gotten a lot hotter since the change on the head. Temp would have to go up a lot, I would think, but it might cause more pressure in the carts and thus force the ink through to the drain bottle. However they should all do that then. The only thing else that could cause this is the head...

That was one of them. I could not believe they used this stuff on skyscrapers to install pannels. I have the 4941 but I think the 4910 would be pleanty. I used some on an old cars moulding trim that had pulled away and curving out like a letter C. Didn't think it would do much with all...

Have you ever tried VHB tape. Fellers has it and if not watch a video on youtube. It is remarkable what they do with it. It is not cheap but you might not need to cover as much of an area to make things stick. It may be overkill.

Are you on skype? That may be the best way to go over a project like this. There would be too much to do in emails and to phone may be a bit $$. If you had a web cam that could be close to the printer, that would be a bonus. I made my own heat strips from infloor heat cable so I would think...

The captops should seal with the rubber part just tight enough to make sure that there is no air leak. Doing a flushing allignment in the service menu says to raise the captops just till the left edge of the left captop touches the left head, then hit enter and it alligns. Now the filter...

No you don't want the filters in the captops to bulge out and touch the heads. You can possibly buy just the filters for the captops. I have through my Roland dealer and installed them a year ago and they worked fine. If you are in a real bind, you could try to remove the filters and clean a...

Funny you said take it out side for the natural UV but not in direct sunlight. This is exactly what I had found when taking photos outside. You get a much better match on the colors but I only have an 8 MP camera but still it is remarkable what you can do even with that. But I do have to say...

Waterbased you might get away with it but with solvent inks you would be better to flush the printer and make sure the heads are locked in place. There might be a plate that can be screwed to the platten to hold the heads from coming off the capping station..... but then again this might just...

The only bulk ink I use are in the reg 220 ml refill carts. Not sure if the bulk system you use can get a pressure build up in the carts. The 220 refill carts have a hole in the front top so no way for pressure to build. One thing that I have done is cliped a small spring type clip over the...

I find with these printers you need to flush the drain lines quite often so that they are clear from blockages. You should buy some solvent cleaning solution to use. You can try to just blow air through the lines to see if they are blocked or not. Just remove the white pump tube from the...

This is a bit long.......... This has been a project I finally had a chance to do this weekend. I wanted to be able to scan a larger canvas 16 x 20 and bigger and have it sit flat against the scanner glass. I bought a fairly cheap Mustek scanner 11 x 17. I do a lot of printing canvas art...

You might have been better off to start a new thread to get more input. This was an older thread about the download. Include what printer do you have, what ink are you using? You will need profiles made if not using Roland inks and if so you will need flexi to add profiles. You can't make...

Do you have the service manual? In the old Rolands the info on history is in the service menu. I would think it should be similar in yours. If you want send me a PM with your email or phone#. With a premium subsciption you should be able to get it on this site.

Most times unless your heads hit something they can have a perfect test print but still be at the end of their life. I had one head that the black started to band and no matter what I did it never stopped until the head was replaced. The test print was still perfect. You should be able to...

I have the older Roland printer so I am trying to figure out what your pump lines do compared to mine. On my printer I can just remove the pump line from the captop (front side) and from there I can force cleaning fluid through the tube which goes through the pump and into the drain bottle. I...

First of all what is the results of the drain lines and the other things first. Using the swab under the head won't help unless the drain lines are clear. Also report back on the pooling or not in the captops. Now if you do press the swab under the head (on a scale of 1-10 and 1 being soft...

If you have cleaning fluid the first thing I would do is flush the drain lines to make sure they are clear. You should be able to remove the white tube line that runs to the captop from the pump. If you have a syringe you can even just force air (from the end of the line that connected to the...

Easiest first thing to check is that the drain lines are not plugged. Looks like one side is fine but the Black Cyan are the trouble. Which order are the photos? 1-4 as in after each cleaning. If one side has a plugged drain line then the heads won't clear and can drop off even more...
