  1. Oil for Carriage Rod?

    The felts are presoaked,(I did many SMK3) The reservoir on the right isn't. For the felts on the back, they even include gloves, so you don't get the oil on your hands.
  2. Replacing my carriage belt (310) - what else should I check/replace?

    Look at the trailing cables(one for power, one for data) going to the print carriage. At a certain age (scan cycles), this cable starts to fray(if you see the shielding through the insulation, replace it)... inspect it.
  3. Roland MG-640 vs Mimaki UCJV-300

    Both printer-cutters can do that.
  4. Skycut V60 - issues with very slow cutting of anything circular.

    Is Skycut some Chinese copycat cutter? What software do you use? I had a case many years ago with a brand cutter, where I needed to decide if the curves are sent as short straight vectors or circle segments.(both is possible in HP-GL) If the software send straight vectors, how short do they need...
  5. Oil for Carriage Rod?

    The lubricating felts are presoaked with oil. 3 in 1 is perfect.
  6. Latex 570 not printing blue correctly. Comes out as purple

    Sometimes, the ink in the big cartridge and/or the intermediate tanks get demixed. Especially when your ink sat too long. I saw such issues after the COVID time. You can try to shake your inks. Sometimes we needed to replace them.
  7. Helping Teacher, Cub Scout Leader, with WinXP Roland ColorCAMM (Pro) PC-600

    When I checked the installation document for the PC60 (predecessor of the PC600), it showed how to install the printer driver on Win3.1/95 and NT...
  8. Helping Teacher, Cub Scout Leader, with WinXP Roland ColorCAMM (Pro) PC-600

    Well, it's either hours of your time to find some ancient software, that only runs on Win3.1 and takes hours to install ant train your customer, or you "donate" some cash to make it easier for everyone
  9. Helping Teacher, Cub Scout Leader, with WinXP Roland ColorCAMM (Pro) PC-600

    Depending on what your "customers" intend to do with it, it's probably easier to buy a sign software(under 100 bucks), that supports generic Roland cutters or even HP-GL. I'd also interface it with a serial connection, but that's my take... I always connected the early cutters this way(35 years...
  10. Swapping Sublimation ink to encapsulated pigments inks - Risky ?

    Maybe a distilled water flush, between the two cleaning solutions... There is always a risk, when doing such things.
  11. Need Help Roland RE-640 Factory Default

    Looks like your encoder strip is dirty. Check/clean it.
  12. Newbie with Basics 101 Questions

    Read the manual and check out the Summa tube videos.
  13. Roland SP-300V

    You can use Versaworks up to V5.51 and you don't need a USB driver for actual Windows versions. When you add the printer, you can choose USB.
  14. Suggestions Where to buy Roland VersaCamm Vs-640i parts?

    VS-640 captops are the same.
  15. Pinch Rollers not detected on cutter

    There just was a message from Summa about a new firmware addressing an issue like this. You need to wait for the HP to release this update...
  16. Summa D140R did Firmware update M9985-rev. 040 now opos don’t read at all need help please

    Looks like your parameters got lost. You can get the factory backup from summa.com and restore them on your unit.
  17. Bleed printing on HP Latex

    If you print on the belt all the time, it can clog the vacuum holes on the table in the long run. In this case, the belt needs to be removed to clean the vacuum table and holes.
  18. Roland TrueVIS2 Printing Red issues

    I just got the answer from Roland... This function is only supported on print-only devices in Versaworks...(they do it, because print-cut jobs would be off otherwise...) So you need to design your prints longer by a correction factor.
  19. Pinch Rollers not detected on cutter

    To upgrade the FW, you need HP CutterControl and HP firmware. Your problem sounds like dirt on the sensor, or a broken sensor.
