  1. Summa Opus dot distance

    As far as I know, the marks are to be set at a constant distance in feed direction. The Plugin places them every 400mm or so.
  2. help deciding on a new purchase. latex or eco solvent. My breakdown on Roland BN20a vs HP115 latex is hopefully at least informative

    You don't need to print daily on a BN-20, as long as you don't use it with white or metallic. With cmykm MAX or Max2 ink, you can leave it unattended for weeks, as long as there is ink in the cartridges.
  3. Roland Versacamm VS-300 Waste Ink not draining

    Look at the commented image.
  4. Roland Versacamm VS-300 Waste Ink not draining

    Your discharge tube is likely blocked! Often the tube gets pinched by the waste bottle. Check that. The cap of the pump outlet has popped off. I have seen it a couple of times. You either need to find the cap in this mess, or close the open pump port with a closed short piece of tubing. (I close...
  5. First time doing a head replacement

    Nice video My guess for the nozzle plate material is some sort of beryllium copper alloy. And then some coating... Roland introduced a DX4 head with a new type of coating for the LEF UV printers lately. The corrosion around the nozzle holes should make it clear, that no extended soaking will...
  6. Summa Cut barcode server help.

    Good solution to circumvent the barcode.
  7. Summa Length Issues

    Are the OPOS marks read, before cutting? Have you done the length correction?
  8. Summa Cut barcode server help.

    You could try to rerip and edit the cutfiles. (Remove the barcode part)
  9. Need Help Summa D160R - cut drifts off over long cuts

    There is some media, that just can't take the curing heat from a Latex. It skews the medium and tracking isn't possible. (Had it lately on a brand new Latex800 S-Class2 combo. We even waited overnight for the medium to settle, but it only helped to a small extent) Using another vinyl solved it...
  10. Washed out colors with illuminated lightboxes

    With those printers you can do CMYK-W-CMYK for backlit day and night use or even CMYK-W-K-W-CMYK for window application (the middle k layer is a light barrier that even allows different images front and rear)
  11. F1612, double edge knife, plastic guide scratches

    I have seen customers adding a felt to the guide against scratching.
  12. Question Roland XF-640 vs Roland EJ-640

    The main difference is the ink type and bulk ink system. XF's were discontinued because of banding problems. (At least in Europe) Don't buy XF's, if you need bandingfree quality. The EJ's have some enhancements to remedy these problems. We converted a EJ to a sublimation bulk ink system and the...
  13. problems sending prints to Roland SG-300 True Vis coming out short using Versa Works

    Update to latest Versaworks and use length correction. This is normal printer behaviour.
  14. SP300 Head replacement...fill first with flushing fluid?

    Hello After replacing hundreds of heads professionally, no. Mimaki required to flush, Roland didn't. I sometimes forgot it with Mimakis, they always worked anyway.
  15. SP 300 print problem

    There is a whole band of nozzles missing an a lot of misfiring. You can try to clean, soak and flush. But after many wasted hours, the head needs replacement. (If you need a decent quality output with sharp text and without ink spraying)
  16. Versaworks "A connection with the server could not be established"

    VW 6.16.1 is the latest and greatest version. It came out last week.
  17. New banding problem

    We often had issues with the light heads in the recent past.
  18. CG160 FXII - How to stop it from scrolling to the front on a roll - FineCut software

    RTFM... when you set up a new medium, you can select different ways. (Arrow key) One of them is "width only"
  19. Help. Signlab print and cut has stopped working.

    I guess there is... You probably lost the setting in the reinstallation process. Without knowing your cutter type, it's hard to tell. For the cutters I know, it's a cutter setting.
  20. Roland VP 540 half blue printing

    Replace the cyan dampers, then the printhead... (you can cross switch the two dampers and see what happens first,) When you need good quality, black could need a new head too.
