  1. Printing Crooked,Contour Cut Not Matching Print.

    HA! I like that one! Maybe I'll buy one of everything....;)
  2. VS640 no print after head soak and syringe

    I did a head soak on my Roland and seem to remember that the first few tries of test printing were very faded. I printed some squares with just the CMYK colors. I believe that they were something like 1" x 5" of just pure CMYK and it took a while but the colors did finally come back to normal.
  3. Printing Crooked,Contour Cut Not Matching Print.

    OK, after cleaning the encoder strip 3 times it's back to normal. I finally wiped down with alcohol eyeglass pads several times. It must have had something stuck on it that finally came off. The second time I cleaned it it was printing horrible, totally unusable. So I knew that I was...
  4. Printing Crooked,Contour Cut Not Matching Print.

    OK. Thanks. I"ll try to get a pic today.
  5. Printing Crooked,Contour Cut Not Matching Print.

    Encoder may be a possibility. Mine is a piece of clear plastic with tiny lines on it, I've tried cleaning it but it didn't change anything. Also the plot cutting is working OK and I believe that the plot cutting uses the encoder strip.
  6. Printing Crooked,Contour Cut Not Matching Print.

    Need help. Hours away from tech service. My Roland SP300 is printing crooked. When it is done printing, the contour cut is where it's supposed to be and misses the print by inches. I have actually had the print go completely off the vinyl and on to the printer. I tried adjusting the optical...

  8. Looking for a font

    Looking for a font that the WMCA uses called CACHET. Anyone know where I could download / purchase? I did find it as a free download but the company said that I would have to use their site as a homepage, Not doin that!
  9. Ghosting on stainless

    I had the same problem with stainless steel drinking cups. I found that regular stainless steel polish took the ghosting away Same thing used for stainless appliances. One note if you get the spray. Let it dry before removing, like waxing a car. Its cheap, worth a try.
  10. Printing and cutting colored vinyl

    How about doing a small generic print with crop marks. Cut the crop mark out and place them on the orange.

  12. Question Thinking About Purchasing The Island Clean Air Duster 2000

    I am running the Roland SP300 at my home. I really haven't had any issues with fumes. I can smell the ink on very large prints like wraps or banners but with the ceiling fan on its not bad and doesn't last long. Its actually a personal preference, I would say to try it for a while and see what...
  13. Its BAAACK!!!! Thanks so much everybody !!

    ya, the fuse was a suprise, I actually soldered the new one on to the old one! havn't had to change a head yet but I'm sure that I could with the help of the 101 family.
  14. Its BAAACK!!!! Thanks so much everybody !!

    Well You guys probably just saved me thousands of $$$. I was ready to get the tech up here for a head replacement after losing my black (printing only Cyan in place of black) and then losing both colors altogether. you guys steered me in the right direction.:notworthy: So I ordered the fuse for...
  15. SP 300 V Stops Says Temperature Low

    The temp too low is referring to the air temp. Oddly enough I had the same message last week when I unplugged the ribbon cable from my head and turned the power back on. May be a sensor going bad?
  16. Roland sp300 cyan and black not firing

    I am going through the exactly the same thing. I found my fuse was blown for the black/cyan. They are on the back circuit board on my SP300. ALSO they don't look like fuses. They are small and rectangular 1.6A. If u can find them check them with an ohm meter. Also they are soldered on to the...
  17. TOTAL FAIL after cleaning / soaking heads

    This machine is over 10 years old and the only major thing I've done is one head replacement. Everything that has gone wrong this time has been MY OWN fault. I think that I may have used the wrong solvent to soak the heads and damaged the captops wich caused the head to dry out. Then by messing...
  18. TOTAL FAIL after cleaning / soaking heads

    OK, thanks Guys. After a lot of searching I found the fuse. ( they don't look like any fuse I've ever seen) yes it was blown. ordered 4 new ones with some other misc parts. I will change it as soon as i get them. Then I'll be back to whare I started....only about 10% of my black nozzels firing...
  19. TOTAL FAIL after cleaning / soaking heads

    This went nowhere but down. Started out when I noticed the colors starting to mix on a test print. (should have ignored it) So I did a cleaning with minor improvement but the black and cyan were still mixing. On to a head soak and then disaster. Black was printing less, cyan comming out of both...
  20. Replaced parts, Still NO Black

    Now I've really done it. Tried swapping cables. Turned off main power but didn't pull plug. swapping cables didn't work. temp too low message came up and couldn't do anything.Swapped the cables back and NOW I have nothing printing from the K/C head at all. ​This is just going down hill fast.
