Oh wait, it looks like Lucida Handwriting, but modified.

I thought this was going to be an easy one as it seemed familiar, but no luck, even after using FMF, WTF and WFI.

All the best Fred!

OK, and all that is pretty straight forward?

Thanks for all that! One question: Why is Service Mode required? Why not just turn it on?

Yes, I suspect that this is the case, although I also suspect that this rep/tech is just following orders that trickle down from Roland. Who knows. In any event, he won't install it, which means I have to do it myself. I am very mechanically inclined, but I'm aware that there are going to be...

Just one more try to see if there’s a video or tutorial of any kind specific to my SP-540i for head replacement (those two listed above seem quite different - but thanks). I bought the head and all other related parts from China a few months ago, and a service rep near me won’t install it, as...

Thanks, I'll consider that, although I don't leave my computer on over-night. Would the printer also need to be left on, or would it get automatically turned on with that method?

This isn’t really “sign” related, but I’m wondering if someone might have some knowledge on this: I have a Canon Pro-10 (13”x19”) photo printer which uses pigment inks. Canon has built-in an automatic and unavoidable cleaning cycle after 60 hours of non use. There is also a more aggressive...

I just spoke with a lady at head office and she was very helpful. After I fully explained what had occurred, she was surprised and perplexed that the cartridge (or at least the chip) wasn't immediately replaced by my local manager. She has credited me for the cartridge. It's interesting how...

Yes, I've been thinking of doing that very thing. The head office is back east, so will do tomorrow.

Yes, I'm told the problem will be the chip. Only one cartridge so far. It just seems so cheezy and short-sighted to not just throw me a replacement magenta. I would imagine they could easily send it back to their supplier as defective.

Gino: While it is good to discuss the economics of OEM vs 3rd party inks (and BTW, my cost for four OEM inks is $600.00 CDN vs $300.00 for 3rd party, and after I spend some time to do the math, that's about half - LOL), I'd prefer to keep the focus on my main question or point, which is: after...

I’d like some feedback on this: For the first five years of ownership of my Roland SP-540i printer, I used nothing but OEM inks. A few months ago, a local rep I was speaking with was going on & on about these “other” third-party inks which were half the price. He said that they never would...

​Looks to be hand done.

I just purchased a new DX4 head for my Roland SP-540i (+ caps & dampers) and am wondering if anyone knows of a good DIY tutorial video for doing this on this specific printer.

Hmm, that is perplexing then as to why this one wouldn't cooperate, even with multiple attempts. Thanks again!

So the "V" marks don't get looked at during the printer's seeking mode?

I've answered my own question - that was it! I placed a tiny triangle of white cast vinyl on the corner of the black block of printed ink, and that solved the problem. Thanks for the tips & input!

Here's another thing that might be the culprit? The fine/small registration marks (which I've gone over with a fine felt pen) are really close to the black block of printed ink. Could that be throwing it off?
