Look for the service manual, this will normally have exploded diagrams with parts listings. Or post a pic of the part on here and see if anyone knows what it is

If its work you are doing all the time, then you shouldn't really need software to tell you how much it is going to cost. You will know from recent similar jobs what your base costs were. The same way a builder or plumber can look at most jobs and know from experience how much to quote based on...

I might give the customer some mouse traps when its fixed :D

Looking at the pic I think its had a go at chewing the ink lines too,

I took one of the covers off and was trying to work out why there was bits of yellow foam everywhere !

Have been working on an SP40i which was not working and giving all sorts of errors. The yellow stuff is foam and should go all the way across the part behind the pipes. It also shouldnt have seeds in it Checked some other parts so far and found the wires to the wiper position sensor and head...

I cant really tell from your pic, but both your scan and feed look off. When you print out the test, peel the vinyl off and you can see exactly where the cut line is going in relation to the printed marks

I would never try and put vinyl directly onto a brick or block wall. If it did stick then it would look awful as all the texture would show through. Would either make a solid sign or put some sort of smooth sheets up onto the wall for the vinyl to be fitted to

I dont think anything like that would work really. The nozzle holes are so small in solvent print heads that you would never be able to wipe something off them, it would more likely push the substance into the heads and block them. The printers have never been designed to be left not in use for...

Really with any solvent printer they need to be printing something every couple of days, or preferably every day. Do you have anyone who can go in and run off a simple print job every few days for you ? Just one inch squares of each colour across the width of a sheet is enough to keep them...

Count on new print head, pump, captops, dampers and probably ink lines too. All solvent printers are pretty much the same if left to dry up

The next things to do would be to clean the encoder strip, or replace. Clean or replace sensor encoder and if none of that works it points to a failing print carriage board ( the encoder connects to this, and the signal is sent from there to the main board )

Hi, does anyone have one? Need to do some board repair investigations so need the schematics Thanks in advance !

Hi do you mean the cutting is not aligned properly to the print, so is cutting in the wrong place? Have you gone through the cut calibration on the printer as this will allow you small adjusments. If it is out more than this then there are various reasons it can happen

I run Rolands, but have the print temp on the lowest setting, and have never had any problems like that. Have you checked your fans are working and sucking the vinyl down evenly across the width?

I preferred the original, it had the rustic / street art vibe to it :D

You could probably make your own overlay easily enough as well by scanning the old one then recreating it, print it out and laminate it and it should last much better than the original. Bit of a design mistake really Roland printing them with an ink that gets eaten by the ink in the printer !

There are normally some on ebay. There was also someone on there selling an overlay decal to stick onto your old one to tidy it up

I had a similar problem on my SP years ago. It turned out it was cutting in the correct place, but it was the actual print that was drifting out over the width of the vinyl. Try printing and cutting some test squares an equal distance apart, say 10mm, then when it finishes measure if it is the...

I dont think the firmware can be downgraded once installed, you may have to change over to max3 and just use those instead.
