If the problem clears itself up as you print, I would suspect that clogged nozzles are the source of the problem. If the problem occurs on one side of the media only, then I would suspect a media problem, or possibly not loading the media properly. I have seen surface problems on the left...

The terminology confusion stems from HP's using the term 'UV Ink' to describe their Pigmented Aqueous ink for the Designjet 5000/ 5500 printers. It is not UV ink as commonly referred to today, but is water-based pigment ink. As far as the 5500 heater, as I recall, it is used in a special...

The HP designjet 5500 with pigment (UV) ink only uses the front platen heater when printing on certain medias, which are defined on the printer when loading the media. Are you printing on media that is intended for aqueous pigmented ink? If not, the media coating (if any) will not allow the...

I have seen this on the Roland SP machines as well, almost always in solid colors. This problem is referred to as 'white banding' and appears that the heads are starving for ink for a number of passes, before again firing normally. I don't believe that it's a cleaning-related issue, but rather...

This issue (often called smudge dots) is a common problem. One thing that will almost certainly cause it is the use of a Rendering Intent called Absolute Colorimetric. It is intended for Proofing applications, but will change the color of the background of the page in so doing. Use the...

It sounds like it could be one of a couple of things. First, make sure that the 'Rip while Printing' checkbox is disabled. This is located in the Queue A/B Properties dialog, under the Job Management Tab. This ensures that the RIP will complete before the job begins to print. If you are still...

That 'T' sponge is intended to wick the excess ink that passes through the top rectangular sponge into the hole at the bottom of the tray. After you remove the rectangular sponge, simply drop it into the center hole, with the longer bar going down into the hole. The crossbar will catch on the...

SP-Series comes with just two sponge filters: Upper Filter (rectangular sponge pad) T-Sponge (goes below) Bob

Any VersaCAMM printer that was sold after 2005 would have shipped with Versaworks. ColorRIP was an OEM version of Wasatch SoftRIP. The 6.x version of SoftRIP will run fine on Windows Vista.

Make sure that the lever is as far forward as it can go. On occasion it can hang-up before engaging the switch. You should be able to hear the micro-switch trip at some point along the travel of the handle. Bob

I would suspect corrupted data file(s) in the production queue. Clear your Queues, both A & B, and then initialize Versaworks (Start button > Programs > Roland VW > Initialize Application. Do the last with VW closed completely. Bob

Ink costs will vary dramatically by job, print resolution, and profile settings. The range for most eco-solvent machines from Mutoh, Mimaki, and Roland is between .15 and .50 when using OEM ink sets. Some RIPs will calculate ink usage on a job basis (Onyx 7, Caldera, Wasatch 6.5). Bob

Print modes (resolutions + pass counts) are determined by the person who builds the Media Profile. It is not, nor was it in Versaworks version 2.x something that the user of the profile can select without having been previously profiled. In other words, your options are to either do it yourself...

More than likely you simply to load a set of drivers for the video controller that is in your machine. If you look in device Manager and see something generic under Display Adaptor, (such as VGA Adaptor), you need to obtain the driver set for your adaptor and install it. that should solve that...

The Flexi RIP requires color management settings, including input/ output profiles and other color settings to be 'dialed in' for the specific media that you are using. If your settings are not optimized, then quality will tend to fall of the table with this RIP. The first thing that I would...

What model machine are you using (ie Valuejet, Falcon Outdoor, LT etc)? Bob

Turn down the heat temp on the print heater. Or remove the internal pinch roller wheels. Bob
