What's the quirk? I'm curious... just in case it happens on my end.

Based on the info you provided, it looks like the laptop connection and your cutter isn't communicating. If all of the drivers have been installed, cutter driver and the serial cable with usb adapter then I believe its just the ports that you may need to configure. Check the Device Manager...

Being a newbie with the summa cutter myself. I design in Illustrator and include the cutcontour. Apply the xymarks with the summa plugin and print through to the SP540 and rip with versaworks. Once laminated I opened the same file turn off the artwork layer leaving only the contour and reg marks...

Yes..and I am a very happy camper with this buy! Thanks for a great accurate cutter, well looked after too.

A large soy scented candle with the strongest scent possible. Wait make that 3 large scented candles all lit at once. Otherwise a can of Bossistos (eucalyptus) spray does a great job. It actually kills the smell.

Purchased mine from Jaycar audio (local store here in AUS maybe similar to radio shack there). I believe you can use a higher voltage rated fuse but make sure its the same amperage as your existing. (Using a higher amp fuse will allow a higher current to pass through and can cause a fire). The...

An SP540V

I could'nt confirm if the capacitors or transistors may go too. From experience the fuse went on mine. But that was my error! I knocked the data cable out (only by a little), by accident after changing dampers, caps and running test prints and this was enough to blow a fuse. And yes I did have...

If the M&Y head are working by using the K&C head cables your M&Y fuse will more likely be blown. Trace this fuse back to the main board and get a tester to check the fuse. The fuse is a small rectangular type (surface mounted fuse). I've soldered an external fuse holder on this blown fuse and...

Thanks for the share. I definitely have one on my wish list. Reading about positive experiences greatly inspires!

I've seen these at Digiprint Supplies last year but not sure if they have them available now. Seen one to suit a Roland PC-12 just now, send them a message maybe they can help out.

Could be the temperature in your room. But not 100% sure. Is it cold where the printer is kept? Could also possibly be the thermistor cable...

I just performed a thorough clean on the weekend. Was having overspray issues but I know for a fact I have a couple deflections in my Yellow / Magenta head and I will be replacing in the near future. Overapray issues was very minimal after the clean there was dust and buildup on the encoder...

Pity, the steak looks tasty!

Just seen it on the Roland website. Looks tough!! I like...

Sorry to hear of your constant troubles and loss! And thanks for sharing also. Roughly how much have you injected into this?

Purhased it from eBay and was sent from China. Had to trim it down and cut a hole in it myself but it saved me a lot of mulah! At first I wasn't sure if it would suit or not but took the chance. Now I keep a spare on hand. Don't forget to run the calibrations and setups.. when replacing .

I've come across transparency issues as such and took a while to get around them. Normally I'd save a copy as a hi-res pdf, flatten the artwork in PhotoShop, bring the shape back in to illy and past in the contour paths then send to VW. However, with this method PMS cols cannot be matched with...

Hey reQ, how did you go replacing the head?

I also have thought of buying one from China (sign in china site). Apparently they don't officially supply the head rank number. However they require you to email them for the head rank number and pay an extra fee for this in which they will email it to you! I'm not confident about it. But they...
