It's called extortion... I wonder, how long the Maggats eat that shit?

Problem for me was the imperial tools available to me were of lets say questionable quality... First time it was a Summachrome in 95, then a Vutek in 2015... Tools either not hard enough and wearing down after short use, or too hard and breaking... I love my PB, WERA, Wiha and Stahlwille...

We had issues on several printers with air in the OP IT. You can weigh the failing printheads to find out. If it's less than 65g, you have air inside. We take out the IT block, turn it over and suck out the air with a syringe. (Late 700 models don't have IT's for colors except white anymore)...

Flexcut is supported for a very long time.(30 years i guess) If you find it in the menu settings, it's there. BUT CMYK red isn't recognized in Winplot, try it in RGB and it works.

I hat too many problems with EcoMax3 (Yellow)... The best ink for printhead life is Max2.

It's 75'000 miles or 5 years... not 15 years with overaged ink. The black EcoMax ink from Roland consistently kills the heads. (Seen on DX4 mostly, but also on DX7) No 1000 hour soak or snake oil cleaner will help. In the end it's a head replacement...

If it's not LcLm, overaged ink or ink in the slot for too long without agitation..

I had a somewhat similar issue last week. I never had any issues connecting to many different Summas over USB with my notebook, while it ran win10. I lately upgraded to win11. So I came to this S2 and wanted to do a backup of the parameters with cutter control. I wasn't able to connect. I...

Just unplug the pump and let the filling finish.

And you need the drag tool to remeasure the table surface...

Is there ink in the damper? If yes, i'd reseat the flat cables of head 1 on the carriage board.

This can be done with cutters and software from Summa, Mimaki, Graphtec or Roland. The main difference is the tracking of the cutter to return to the origin, where Summa would be my favourite. Other than that, you need a decent design software like Illustrator, Corel, Affinity or even free Inkscape.

I can second what balstestrad said. The camera version of the S3 is cool and extremely fast in marks recognition. But I only see an advantage if you do a lot of sheet cutting. (Like screen printed sheets or prints out of a digital printer like a HP Indigo). The S One or HP Plus are nice cutters...

There is a linear bearing, a solenoid and a spring. From what you say, you could try a light lubricant on the bearing. I don't think the spring is the problem. Or Or it could be the blade falling out of the tool holder... I have seen that on summa roll cutters that use the same holders...

What is a "a lot to print" in k-shots? (Per head and total?) I have seen some delaminated heads, but it's less than 1 out of 20. I don't have too many VS left in my customer base. (10-20 VSi, but they have a better choke valve design...) I have a customer with a EJ printing sublimation ink. This...

Could also be a belt tension issue.

I'd look at the motor/gear that moves the cartridge. They tend to fail.

VW is 64 bit only since around 6.18. So it's highly unlikely that their new V7 reverted back to 32 bit...

Could also be a crack in the plastic pinch roller holder, if it just started to do this recently.

Because these printmodes don't exist. It's not possible to drive the ink channels individually, as it was possible with older Rolands with DX4 heads. Of course you also needed a full blown RIP with profiling capability and spectro... But it was done for gamut enlargement with special colors or...
