  1. Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

    One thing you can check is that your new holder is the same size as the old one. If it is a tiny bit shorter then the blade may not extend quite as far. Some of the chinese blade holders do seem to vary a bit. If cutting at low pressures this doesn't matter too much as you can adjust out the...
  2. Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

    And unfortunately the individual parts aren't available to repair them, so your only real option is to look for a good used head. They do come up on ebay as Roland stopped making them years ago.
  3. Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

    It probably wouldn't unless it is very clogged up, it is more likely to be general wear to the various moving parts of the mechanism that added together stop it producing the proper force. The heads do tend to last a decent amount of time, but eventually they do wear out
  4. Roland SP300V - Cutting Force doesn't change

    It could be wear on the cut carriage head. With age they can wear out and don't give the same pressure they used to. I would normally suggest changing the holder and strip etc.. but as you have already done that then the next place to look would be the carriage. On a fully working carriage you...
  5. Your Physical Health

    One of my friends has been a builder all his life. He is 62 now and after work has to soak in the bath for an hour so he doesn't ache too much the next day. I think we get off lightly compared to a lot of trades, but if you are doing installs out in cold weather a lot, then your joints are going...
  6. Your Physical Health

    I think its just old age that would effect us in any job.
  7. 250 years in the making!

    It looks ok, but not amazing. I wonder how many hundreds of thousands they spent on it...
  8. random extra printing not in file

    I agree, replace the head cable first. Normally when you get printing like that it an electrical problem as the head is not being told to turn off when it should, so it carries on printing rather than turning on and off.
  9. Graphics Question

    To give us an idea, what size do they want the candy cane banner, and what price are you charging them for the job? It will help a lot in working out what your options are, and if it is even viable to do it with their artwork.
  10. Graphics Question

    That still looks awful though. It is only 5" wide, when blown up to banner size it will still look pixelated, the text in particular is very low res and would need completely replacing
  11. Roland SP-540i print head questions

    As long as the clamps are straight then they won't cause any problems, and they are better for keeping the vinyl flat rather than just relying on the suction
  12. Roland SP-540i print head questions

    Do you use the media clamps? These are designed to keep the vinyl flat in the area the head passes over, so is important to use them and also make sure they are laying nice and flat so there is no chance of the head catching them. How long a head lasts doesn't really have any answer. It depends...
  13. Looking for and cant locate

    I imagine after over 3 years they have found it :D
  14. Customers in production areas

    I find my face is generally enough to keep people at a distance :D if that fails shouting FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXK OFF very loud works
  15. Need Help How to adjust the Pinch Roller Pressure on VG3-540

    I think it is down to the material you are using. A lot of more specialist vinyls like chrome are thicker, and tend to dent from the pressure of the rollers. A thinner print vinyl doesn't normally do this.
  16. Sp300i printhead replacement

    That works too. I normally use the paper towel as I always have a roll of it to hand when working on a printer. I prefer them as they soak up any ink, so no chance of drips
  17. Sp300i printhead replacement

    Yes it is fine to do both heads at once. The left hand head is actually locked in place when you fit it, and you align the other head to this when you do the alignment and calibration. The most important thing is before doing anything, unplug the printer from the wall and leave at least 15...
  18. Boat/Marine decals

    Any printable vinyl will be fine to be honest. They will need to be laminated anyway for resistance to sea water, so the laminate gives the protection, the print vinyl under it doesn't make a lot of difference.
  19. Just hadda share this one.......................................................

    I had one a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely HAD to be done for three day time as they were going away;. Told them sorry, but no way it can be done that quickly, would be five days if I rush it for you. They replied saying 'ok that will be fine' !!! GRRR
