What would be the option for new rip for the Roland CJ 500 and FJ 42? I see Onyx Poster shop will run both of these older printers. Is there any others out there that will work? If I want profiles made for these units, is this the only way to go?

I have used " total photo M " from Intelicoat (Magic). In Canada I get this through "Mondrial hall". I use the LC and LM. They have a good supply of the aqueous based media. They have one listed as a poster paper as well.

Got cave paint inks to print on the FJ like on the CJ Well here it is..... I was able to get the new Cave Paint pigmented inks to work in the FJ 42, and look like the same results as I had with the CJ 500 and Rolands FPG pigmented inks. I might not have been able to do this if it was not for...

Thank you. This is some of the info I was looking for. I guess the other question I still want to know is if I were to use the Roland inks ( same as I used in the CJ (pigmented aqueous)) on the FJ am I still going to get different results due to the fact that the 2 printers will print the...

I am not quite sure what you are getting at. The one image printed on both machines ( I am not clear on ). What I am trying to do is print the same Giclee print that I printed on the CJ 500 but now get the same looking Giclee on the FJ 42. So far what I have done was tried the same...

How do you mean that they won't print the same? They both were said to be able to do Giclee printing and of course both have the same printheads and run the same six color system. Would you say the CJ 500 is better at printing Giclee or is it that they both will do a good job or comparable job...

My question is on the CJ 500 and the FJ 42. Should they print the same quality and color if you print with the same settings and inks on both? If so I will take the Roland inks out of the CJ and put into the FJ and try. What I am trying out now is the Lyson cave paint pigment inks on the FJ...

Thanks Jakob, I did pick up a small laptop to run it on its own. We need to talk about the program.

I have colorchoice 4.5v2, a CJ 500 and now a FJ 42. I was wondering if you could run both off of colorchoice. I think I read that the colorchoice 2 let you do this but its not available from what I read. If not I would look into a laptop to run the 2nd printer and then be able to run both...

Sorry Jacob, I answered your PM first before seeing this. Just for others to see what I did this is the bulk of it: I thought I could adjust the tension while the unit was on and while it was buzzing so that I could adjust until the buzzing quit. What happened is when you release the two...

I can't remember the error I got but I was getting a buzzing sound from the carriage and if you touched the wire or put a bit of pressure on the carriage the buzzing will stop. I tried to slightly tighten the wire tension and went too far and got a error message that sounds like your error...

Hi Slimlin, Decay did get one, all went through. Just a posting so others know.

I have been fooling with my new to me CJ 500 and just got it printing real nice and am very happy with it. A service manual is a must to replace and allign heads etc. I have a pdf but it's 3.24 MB so not sure if it will email easily. Other option is to send on a disk. Send a private message with...

Hey, sorry I did not notice your post till today. I do have an update on the 101 error. First the post I read about a false virus was to do with the new update for the Roland versacam. One of the posts in there was about an issue downloading the update until the anti virus was removed. I...

Have you tried it on some media that you have printed on before with other aqueous inks, and know the media is the right type? Does it still take long to dry or do you not have any other media to test it on? Seems that the media you got from them might not be right for waterbased. I know when...

Thanks Jack for that info. I would assume then their Aqueous ink would have similar results compared to OEM. Now on Lyson inks, I do see they have the pigmented ink listed. Do you use the dye or pigmented aqueous ink? I am looking to get the pigmented and not the dye. I have an email into...

Has anyone tried the Durafos Aqueous inks for the FJ and CJ series? They are listing at $99 per liter on ebay. I have not found too many places that sell bulk Aqueous inks. Biggest question would be, are they as good or close to the Rolands OEM?

Avg On a bit of a side note with AVG I did have a problem installing my colorchoice Rip. It would not work untill I uninstalled AVG. It caused a 101 error and would not install. Exiting the AVG did not help (had to uninstall). Once colorchoice was installed I re-installed AVG and all has been ok.

In the manual it says to leave the main power switch on and to power down with the front pannel power button. I know on the newer units this is so that the auto head cleaning can take place while the unit sleeps. But on the CJ 500 there is no auto clean settings to do this. You need to make it...

Which set-up do you want info on? Do you have any materials for the heaters yet?
