I agree with Mike Paul, but I've also seen static electricity cause that. If your humidity is low, static can build up and cause banding - it's really erratic in how it behaves.
Versa Works Dual Comes freewith new Roland printers and runs on Windows computers, is much more widely used and therefore you will find much more support for it.
Roland print studio is a paid RIP that runs on Mac computers. I've not used it, so really can't compare other than that.
God luck
If you're getting no ink out of either head, then your problem is the head fuse on the main board is blown. The real question would be "why did the fuse blow?" If you've been plugging/unplugging cables with the printer plugged in, that would do it. Spilled ink on the head or cables could do...
F1 is for Magenta and Yellow heads. F2 is for Cyan and Black.
So it wasn't the fuse to begin with, but it could be now, or you could have fried your cyan head. test the fuse with a Multi Meter. You can do this with the fuse still in the board. It's not unusual to bend one of those cables...
That's why printers now commonly come with light cyan, magenta and black. They also fire smaller dots now. I think you're up against a limitation of your printer having only CMYK without the light versions. In order get light blue with regular cyan, it has to fire the dots further away from...
You can pull from either tube, but you have to pinch off the other one with a pair of forceps.
The problem as you probably know is that the pigment settles just about everywhere if it isn't kept suspended some how. The circulation pumps keep the ink in the ink lines suspended, and the daily...
They're the small ones -;).
Take what you have to a good hardware store (aka: NOT a big box store) and show them to your helpful hardware man. They should be able to get you set up. Let him know that they're metric to start with.
Nanci, if you are doing mostly vehicle and boat graphics, you'll want to laminate no matter what printer you use.
Get a plotter first and go 54 inch. You can always get smaller vinyl in it. It doesn't work the other way around. Make sure it can read crop marks. Summary or graphtec both make...
Oki bought the Seiko line of Color Painters. They're generally pretty good printers, but I have no experience with the E-64s. Just check to make sure where your service comes from. You'll probably find a lot more Roland dealers and Roland printers out there. So your resources will be much...
If your sign supplies distributor doesn't have it, look into sheet metal suppliers. You may get it past the inspector - or you may not. I'd hate to have to redo the job because I didn't take the time to source the material that was called out in the specs. I imagine that if it's in the specs...
Danno, I just upgraded from the gretagmacbeth i1 to the pro 2 and am very happy that I did. It's familiar and much faster. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Before you upgrade be sure to check your software for the devices they support. Some rips have a limited number of spectros that...
Nicky, in my observations, most shops don't want to bring their completion from down the street into their mission control center and help them become a stronger competitor.
I would toss the questions out here and go see a dealer who sells both so you can do some side by side comparisons...
I would try turning the print heater down 5 degrees C (do the math if you're using F. That should stop the material from expanding and buckling up in the print area. The less likely cause could be the paper liner absorbing moisture out of the air, or a combination of the two.
Lastly, check...
