Thanks a bunch guys..I kind of agree with arbot on this, will try it and see what happens.

Does anyone can give me some tips of what ratio to mix acetone with Butyl Cellosolve to use as a cleaning solution for eco-solvent ink?

I think it is possible as long as the fabric has a paper backing, I am not sure which ink to use tho..

John, you are so right! After posting the message I took alcohol and cleaned down the media with a soft wiping tow ...and wow what a difference it made! Thanks for your input!

I am trying to fined an outdoor white gloss printable vinyl! I have a converted Roland Cj-500 to do my outdoor printing with, and for some reason when printing it seems the printout looks spotty. The white glossy vinyl I am using is Mactac.. any ideas anyone?

I happen to keep a few DX2 heads in stock...price is $ 192.00 they are harder and harder to get.

Just happen to have a CJ-500 Eco solvent printer/cutter with all new parts gone over! This unit has pre and post heaters installed it's just a bit too big for my use...let me know if you interested.

Don't throw that print head away just yet,, I still think if you give it a good soaking and push some cleaning fluid through it with a syringe very gently, place a sheet of white paper under it to see if anything coming out. I you get a fine mist type of spay coming out, the head just might be...

Tomence! Thanks for the profile you sent me...will get around trying it this weekend after I finish what I started to work on! On mat vinyl all looks great...

Thanks for your help! I am selling the printer I don't like the way Epson does business, locking up the print system with their smart chip after printing just a hundred or so pages.. take care!

Hi, does anyone knows where I can get or download the service manual for this printer. Got red and green light blinking issues .. Thanks,

Well,, I did found some and ordered a pr. Interested to see how they will work, I was about to replace the capping station and the print head...

Thanks a lot...I will do just that:thankyou:

Anyone knows where to get some of those wire mesh screens for capping station for some of the older roland printers, such as Cj-500 and Fj serious printers. I read about it online, but can't recall where. Thought maybe I run it by here, see if anyone knows about these screen or if anyone of you...
