  1. Matte Lamin on Perf

    The main reason the use window perf would be to enable you to see through from the inside and not notice that the window has anything on it. With anything but optically clear you would have a blurred view and I would think with a matte finish it would be worse. There might be a matte finish...
  2. CJ 500 yellow offset when printing

    Is this a new to you printer? Or have you had it for a while and it just started doing this? If you just picked it up it might be things are not alligned propper. One head may be out of allignment. You can do print tests in the service manual that will show if the heads are lined up propper...
  3. Hockey Arena In Ice Graphics

    Don't quote me on this but I think they would grind down the ice to a point that is just above the level of the graphics and then the last 1/4 inch or so they would just add hot water to release the material. With hockey rink graphics they would need to be placed deeper in the ice than on the...
  4. Whats a good printer for printing on canvas

    I have done the same print on two Roland printers. One waterbased pigmented inks and one solvent. The solvent prints are not bad but when you put side by side with a propper waterbased pigmented (not dye) you will see that the colors are better on the waterbased. Having said that if you want...
  5. Purging ink out of Roland

    The regular solvent lines should be good to use. As for thicker lines, do you mean so they don't plug up? If so, what I meant was that the drain line that goes to the bottle right now on the CJ is very thin. It is connected to the white pump lines. Also to feed thicker lines from there through...
  6. Hockey Arena In Ice Graphics

    Last year I did some for a curling rink as a test. They were using a clear almost like over head projector sheet material. So I printed some clear cling film (with solvent) and they layed them on the ice part way though the process of flooding and then painting the ice white. I think it was a...
  7. Purging ink out of Roland

    As was said to do a pump out you need 3 carts. You would do one head side at a time or the 3 colors on that side. You could do this also: Have this on hand before you start ( min 2 refill carts ) waterbased cleaning solution and a solvent cleaning solution. A syringe with a tube that will...
  8. 3rd party ink killed printhead?

    I have used the 11/10 inks for over a year and I have not had any major issues. I had heard too that they are now 20/20. As far as smell goes, I think they are not an issue. I am not sure if they changed something before I bought mine but they don't have much odor. I am using a converted...

  10. Eco Solvent Printing on 651 oracal

    I do very little cut vinyl jobs, so mainly printing on the regular vinyls. I did pick up some 751 Oracal (white) to use for a door address so I decided to try and print on it. The specs say for thermal print but it printed very well with eco solvent so I would think the 651 would work. I...
  11. Too cheap for a take-up reel

    Here was mine from a year ago. Still works great. Did a little over a 4' x 30' worth of banner on it at one time. It just was getting to the point of not rolling due to that much weight. Add 5 more lbs and 30' would be no issue. It also will unwind if the printer tried to roll it back (was an...
  12. SC-540 Print Issues

    Have you been able to do a test print right after the problem starts without doing any cleaning cycle? Does the faded line quit and go back to normal on its own or do you have to stop the print and do a cleaning? On the older Roland units there is a clear line that runs under the cap...

  15. A Roland Question from Brazil

    On the older Roland units it was like a "S" shape and then "V" using the key pad arrows. I think it was just reversed on the newer units so he could try this: down,right,left,up then right,down,left after that hold all (left, down,right) and hit the power button on the pannel. I am not 100%...
  16. Print head please help !!

    Watch for dried ink in the captops around the rubber seal. If drain lines sit for a couple days you can have ink dry up in them and cause a blockage. If during cleanings you see ink run out of both drain lines then you should be good there. If cap tops (filters) swell they can touch the...
  17. needsome advice applying write on erase lam with big squeegee

    Dale had a youtube video of laying thin laminate where you used some two faced tape and once you hinged the laminate and used a tube to roll it onto, the edge right at the hinge had the two faced tape applied and once you start the rollback over it the roll pulls the backing paper off as you...
  18. Does my Roland have a problem ?

    If that is a single black head with one side blocked a bit you could try this but be careful. With a clean swab and cleaning solution push the swab up under the head on the side of the blockage. Do not rub the head only apply slight pressure up. This will force some cleaning solution up into...
  19. Falcon Outdoor jr. capping station for cheap

    I don't have the Mutoh but I think if you were to dig a bit on the "National parts depot" web site you would find that their epson capping station is the same (at least looks the same) as the 4 color printers. They had a part # 1036752 capping assembly...

    Let us know what setting you are using right now. If you can go over the setting the best you can it might help others to say what you might be doing right or wrong. I don't use or know versaworks so I can't say where to find all those settings but they should be listed and you should be able...
