Roland SC-545-EX We've had this machine for about 4 years now, worked flawlessly until February of this year. Machine started giving us trouble and we attempted to fix it with no luck.. Ended up buying a new one. Machine still prints as is, well enough that I still do jobs with it but it has to...

Anyone else have recommendations on where to start on trying to solve the ink starvation issue? 10 of the 12 cartridges were close to empty so I went ahead and replaced them all, now the machine has 12 fresh cartridges. Not sure what all I should start checking; pumps, lines, etc.

I've soaked it over night twice now, didn't help the print one bit :banghead: I've cleaned the encoder strip and replaced the sensor. I've checked this with a syringe, and it seems like it's aligned correctly. Thank You!! I actually tried printing at 500mm/s and it got better but still not...

Noticed something new yesterday.. if i move the head all the way over to the end of the paper(base point 12" or so from end) the test print comes out almost perfect. if i start in the middle it's better than the ones I've posted but not as good as if I start all the way on the left side. So...

XR-640 came in and it's been GREAT! I'd still like to get this machine working though, here's a test print from today.. still the same thing, and more suggestions?

Yeah I've read that it's about $900 for a head vs $3500 for the set in the XR.. But we ordered the XR-640 yesterday! Should be here in about a month, hopefully.

Still no luck with the machine. Friday made two weeks without being able to print anything :banghead: I found a new XC-540 in stock locally that they're offering a nice discount on, but I'm waiting till Tuesday for another quote from the guy I usually deal with.. Will more than likely go with...

Wipers were indeed changed too. I let the heads soak for about two hours and the test print still looks the same. How could I go about testing the pumps?

Well, new head board didn't change anything. So now he's looking at the main board. I'm working on doing a head soak now

My tech knows a guy with a good headboard out of the same machine, so he's going to bring that by today and see if it changes anything before I order a new one. If that doesn't fix the problem I'll have him do a head soak / teach me how for next time. I'll ask him about having air in the lines...

As said I've never had to do a head soak before, should I follow these steps? http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?p=654826 If so, how do I get the heads to move over.. Just manually move them or what?

Here's the print when I tried to do a feed calibration..

He's changing electrical components because he believes it's a electrical problem since the first pass of the test print looks good and the second pass is bad. I have not checked the feed calibration, nor do I know how exactly to do a head soak. I'll look through the manual and search online to...

We picked this machine up used 3 years ago and it has been pretty much problem free until now. We keep it up, clean it weekly, etc. We've always used the same ink and 3M material, nothing has changed except the print. First problem I had was I tried to print a simply job, the colors are very...
