I wouldn't expect light red/yellow/orange with that nozzle test pattern, but would expect some pretty good banding in those colors. Are you using OEM inks? Some are good, some are terrible. Also, old inks can separate and cause problems. Is the printer in a controlled environment? Roland specs...

#1 - the blade will have no affect on the print cut accuracy but for thinner materials, use the 45 degree blade. #2 - to calibrate, Go into Menu>Cutting menu and perform the print cut calibration if you aren't laminating or the crop cut adjustment if you're taking the material out and using...

There's a big difference between working and working well... I'm sorry man.

It sounds to me like you bought the wrong machine for the job you're trying to do. Will you be able to make it work? Likely, but not really the best tool. I don't know what kind of conversation you had with your sales rep when you bought the plotter, but if you had mentioned this...

Supply chains are all a mess right now. Many assemblies require parts that originate in places that have had to close down due to Covid. Many factories that weren't closed were urged to change production to Covid response products, so normal production got pushed aside. Not to mention the...

Have you tried the thick material blade and blade holder as Phil suggested? If Grimco can't help, order those from Phill and see if that works.

Graphtec still supports the 8600. We're a servicing dealer and can still get most parts for them. The only thing we haven't been able to get (and I haven't checked lately, they could be available now) is the pinch wheel assemblies. Pinch wheels themselves are still available as well as boards...

I've replaced more than most people. It is not as easy as earlier models, but not beyond reach to do it yourself. I usually encourage my customers to pay me to do it the first time and I let them watch. Then they can decide whether or not they want to tackle it, but I will try to describe my...

Which calibration are you talking about? There are quite a few on that printer. If you're talking about the feed calibration, which just happens to be labeled "Calibration" in the menu, then you likely have a dirty feed encoder disk. Turn off your printer and unplug it. Then open the right...

Yup. Perfectly fine.

There's no end of EcoSol inks that I've heard of. The only Roland ink that is going away that I know of is the original TR Inks later this year or early next year.

Sounds like it was talking with my wife.:eek:

I had a similar experience. New customer to us had been proofing every print, making adjustments in the RIP to get color matches, then storing the RIP'd files so he could reproduce. When we sold the new printer and gave him proper RIP training he was able to use files without alteration and...

Try doing the calibration 2, 3 or 4 times. It seems to improve it's registration with repeated calibrations.

It's all about expectations really. I've got customers that range the entire spectrum of color management from ones that use only 1 profile in the RIP and only one preset on the printer to full on G7 certified shops that profile every media on every printer and recalibrate every Monday morning...

Did they flush all of the old ink out or just put in new cartridges? Was the printer using OEM ink before or third party Inks? White and metallic inks are the worst as far as clogging goes and this is compounded by the fact that most people only use these colors a small fraction of the time the...

Updating to the latest firmware will allow you to perform the Damper Fill function (previously only available through service mode). Roland recommends performing 2 damper fills to help alleviate ink dripping from the print heads. If this printer is still under warranty, I would make sure that...

It looks like he/she is, but the condition is not set to use position 3.
