Mojave Sign Ad is good stuff. We use it in our lobby on painted drywall. It says it's easily removable up to a year but it removes easily far longer than that in my experience. Works well on glass too. Might be worth looking into.

You're right. The end is still the same though. The card can be updated by the switch or the firmware.

Unfortunately it seems to be a trend in the industry. I won't name names but I've had more problems with machines out of the box in the last 2-3 years than ever in my career.

Open Windows resource monitor and watch which resource might be causing a bottleneck. For example, the hard drive might spike to 100% and stay there indicating you probably don't have a lot of free space to work with. Could be failing memory or CPU as well but you have to check it out. Might not...

The flag sensor has 3 states. Not flagged which is pretty self explanatory. Near end which means is barely touching the sensor so it flags the card as near end. And then flagged which is fully pushed which will flag the card as empty. Once a card is empty, it's empty forever. Once a card is...

We're about the same age then. Hooked on phonics worked for me!

You got the correct one.

I went to public school and turned out fine. Right guys? . . . . . . .. Right?

You've got a short somewhere. It's usually the head cables but it could be any cable form the head back to the main board. It could also be the head itself or any electrical failure on any PCB.

Awesome! Not sure why but it doesn't like that file for whatever reason. First time I've seen that!

Motor current errors generally mean the motor is requiring too much current to move. I'd check for anything that might be preventing the gantry from moving properly. Believe it or not the tech manual says it could simply be bad printing data. Try to print another file just to rule that out...

For the most part you just take the old head out and put the new one in. We usually recommend changing the dampers with the new head and check your cables to make sure they aren't damaged or dirty. You might have to adjust the head slant but a lot of the time it's still good. If you install the...

Put your two leads together and it will give you a reading. It should be close to that. It looks like they are probably blown though.

Ok so the 3.15 amp fuses are pretty common on older Rolands so that would make sense. If your multimeter has a continuity settings, change it to that. It will beep if there's continuity. If not, change to ohms. It should read around 1 ohm.

The two black lines should also be separate so if it came out of even the other black line, it could be broken. Unfortunately you can't repair a broken one. On another note, make sure your maintenance station is actually pulling ink. If it's not, the black channels might not have filled with...

Joe House might know. He's more of a Roland guy than me.

You probably popped the head fuse. Unfortunately I've never changed one on that model so I'm not sure where or what rating it is. It will usually be on the main board, or slider board but some Rolands have a separate head control board it could be on. It's about the size of a couple grains of...

We have the raw material here in Denver if you have an engraver. Otherwise you might contact Sign Concepts here in Colorado. She does a lot of custom jobs etc. 303-232-5999

Ok so first of all the kerning is . . . . just kidding! Looking good!

It's our curse as sign makers. We know what it should look like, and when it's off, but half the time the customer doesn't even notice! If the machine sat for 6 months, the ink might need to be agitated. I'd give your cartridges a little shake and run a few cleanings. It could also be...
