    Gino, what valve or knob?
  2. Creeping temps

    I have a Soljet II (specifically an SJ540) which has the tendency to sometimes creep in temperature. I'll set the thermostat at lets say 31 and sometimes it will stay put all day. Sometimes it will creep all the way over 40 in the matter of a few minutes. Any idea what this could be? Its...

  4. I need glasses!!!

    Assuming they got the prescription correct.. .It takes a while to get used to glasses. I've worn them since I was a kid and still when I switch from my contacts back to my glasses it takes a day or two to get used to them. Welcome to being blind!
  5. Are These Dampers As Good As Roland?

    Yep I did it!! Worked excellently!! I'd like to know as well. I'm not against using OEM parts at all, providing of course that they are of good quality. My dealer says no way on these dampers but then they also say that they sell dampers for $30/each... sooo..... For that price ($24/8) I...

  7. Printheads not working. After cleaning print heads this is a test print!

    Thats a vacuum problem. Think of the whole color channel, if you will, like a loop. Start from one end and make your way to the other checking for possible leak points. Specifically; captop seals (or capping position), manifold nipple, Damper, etc.. Try pulling the capping station tube off the...

  9. how to install very tall lighted sign on posts HELP

    Sub it out and save someone from getting hurt by it falling. There is so much liability in this situation I would run from it.
  10. Bringing a head back to life!!! You have to check this out!

    Haha! I am having one as we speak! I should clarify though that I don't run Triangle ink through my printer. I just have the bulk system that is made by them. I run Bordeaux PRMS3 for a Mimaki of all things!!! Frankenstein I know but it works and it works cheap!!
  11. Bringing a head back to life!!! You have to check this out!

    It seems fitting that the day before Halloween I would be bringing something back from the dead. Here is the story and how it all unraveled. Spoiler alert!! There’s good news at the end. So a few weeks back I had a head strike on my Roland SJ540 that jammed up some banner material and was on...

  17. Stop Laminator From Drifting To The Right...

    I agree with the infeed system. I was skewing laminations on my seal until I started using the system on the front of my machine. Now I can run 100 ft without drifting 1/4in. In your case I would guess its a calibration issue. Those manual cranks are meant to just barely be tightened passed...
  18. ICC Nightmare

    Good advice guys. I appreciate the feedback. Are there any good resources or books that give a basic lesson in this stuff or is the knowledge all transfered person to person on the job?
  19. ICC Nightmare

    Ok here is the deal. I bought a printer (Roland SJ540 SoljetII) about a year ago with little knowledge and a lot of ambition. It's been one of the steepest learning curves I have ever encountered but it feels good to learn and become familiar with this printer and this industry. I've done a LOT...
