Good to hear we are not alone. I can't help you yet on profiles but I have my heat cables in my CJ 500. I used in floor heat cable and ran to both front and rear. I use a dimmer switch to set the temp and have a cooking probe in the rear pannel for a temp reading. Just for info sake from a start...

You will find them at picture framing suppliers as well ( used for small fillet frame for inside the glass side ) They will be a lot more money ($50-$80) there than at a place like noted above. Not sure if they are any better quality. I am using one that is from a liquidation place (princess...

Thanks, that's good to know about finding the profiles. I thought my disk with colorchoice 4.5v2 was not working as I could not get it to load. Also the AVG anti-virus was giving a "virus found Win32/Small detected on open". But after reading that some of other guys were having a false report on...

Tried the Roland support but they won't give any input except not to convert it over. No help on the profiles. Did get some great help from another guy. What I might try is the eleven ten inks that are very close to the ecosol max. Sounds like profiles for the sc 500 might work ok with the...

I was told again that I might not find color profiles if I convert the CJ500 over to EcoSol Max inks. I mainly want to be printing the ice sheets for the table hockey games but I also want to be able to print pictures on canvas for my picture framing. The ice sheets would not matter as it would...

My problem was I could not suck anything from the one drain tube in the drain bottle (a very thin line). Sound like the others think you have already been able to do this and is not the issue.

This as a total shot in the dark but I just had a problem with the dampers not filling until a manual syringe fill was done. Print head still would not print. Then checked the drain tubes to find that line was plugged. Ran some cleaning fluid with a syringe through the pump and forced the...

For the first bit I am going to try to buy from the Roland distributor in Edmonton for inks and media. If I get some help through them as well I won't mind paying a bit more to support them but the price of heads were over $600 each and not installed.

This is mainly to tell what I have done to get my printer going. The cj500 arrived with the print heads not being locked so the heads were uncapped and dry and the capping station was dry. I put what was left for ink in ( pigment waterbased ) and let it start up. Only one head had ink pumped...

The ultasonic cleaner sounds like a great option to have, not just for now, but for later as well. I have read some stuff about them in the forums. As for the conversion. First the cost of coated materials (media for the water based) is almost double, and getting them around here is hard to...

Hi all. Now that I actually have my CJ 500 I can tell all a bit about what I plan to do with it. Mainly I build table hockey games and needed a printer to print the vinyl ice sheets that go onto the games. A used unit came up and I could not resist. Second I also do picture framing so the...

Thanks for the answer. As far as pigment ink goes, once printed on propper vinyl will the ink rub off if you were to spray window cleaner over it or use a mild soap and water mix to clean. Some things I have read is the ink is water resistant. Basically how easy does the pigment ink come...

Hi, I am going to be getting a used cj 500. I am wanting to talk to someone who has used one and ask some questions as to leaving it as is ( pigment ink ) or convert to eco sol ink by installing a heating kit. I build table hockey games and originally just wanted to print my own vinyl surfaces...
