  1. Color banding on start of some prints - mainly yellow or magenta

    Ok I can get ink to pull through, replaced the pump, I believe this was the main issue as now captops drain quickly, after a few powerful cleans there is ink in the waste bottle. but when I run a test print.....nothing....did I blow a fuse or the board? how can I know? UPDATE: reading...
  2. Color banding on start of some prints - mainly yellow or magenta

    Excellent, I will reach out to solventinkjet.com to order. I was a little skeptical of the OEM captops I replaced as they looked just a little different and the manifolds were noticeably different How would I know if I have a blown fuse? would things still operate or would they cease to...
  3. Color banding on start of some prints - mainly yellow or magenta

    sorry for the delayed update, I have been working on different troubleshooting things while keeping this printer in production. I went to replace the dampers, again, and the other manifold tip broke off, so I replaced both manifolds now, I ordered "OEM" ones from digiprint supplies but they...

  5. Routine Maintenance timing

    6 months in now with my used Roland sp-540i and just looking for some recommendations on routine maintenance and part replacement (yes I know it has to do a lot with how much is being printed) etc but looking for some ballpark generalities. I am printing about 400+ ft of vinyl a month (54")...
  6. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    I set up a 20 pass profile at 1080x1080, with a slower head speed and it looks amazing! Take a little longer but the quality is fantastic and gives it plenty of dry time to get to the takeup reel. Thanks to everyone for the tips and tricks
  7. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    Thanks for the feedback, that what I plan on doing today, running multiple tests at different pass counts, when I looked deeper into the orajet3651G profile it was 8 pass, I think it said 4 pass but bi directional so was 8, I will start creeping that up to see what effect that has as well as...
  8. Cut Lines not showing in Versaworks EPS files but will with PDF files

    Thanks for all the feedback, looks like right now I will stay with exporting as PDF as I have tried so many, basically every, possible way to get the eps to work but it doesn't seem to matter on the production side
  9. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    Its not the print time that I am worried about, right now I have to print in small batches of no more than 40-50" because I cannot let it lay all over the ground so I got the take up reel, but then this issue presented with the black not being dry by the time it got to the reel if I change to...

  12. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    Yeah what I thought on the fans, have a bead on a digi dri unit locally that someone is unloading, actually he has 2 of them, lightly used, asking $1500 each, they are 120V 64" I did adjust the black on the image to the roland black spot color as suggested and that made the difference for this...
  13. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    Thanks for the feedback and advice, I was looking at a dryer, I might try a homemade version before opting to spend some extra cash on a purpose built one for homemade just using a box fan or 2 behind the media? or doing anything to provide heat? The printer profile setting for 3651G is max...
  14. Black ink sticking to vinyl on take up reel

    I just installed a take up reel system as jobs have started to get larger than 30-40" in size, ran my first long run of about 12' of orajet 3651G, printed on Roland sp-540i, using the oracal orajet 3651G profile in versaworks 6, using jetbest ink ecosol bulk system. When it "unwound" itself...

  19. sp540i alignment question on test print

    New to this a few months now, learning a lot but have a weird thing happening, where it seems that some prints have a magenta line showing up around them, not all the way around but part of it or the edges of some prints don't look crisp. I have done the bi directional detail adjustment and...
