Hi Guys, So I have an issue with my VS540i. So my old printhead has been leaking whilst idle. Ink droplets would just drip from the printhead whilst nothing was happening. I've noticed this when I did a manual clean as I could see under the printhead. As well as this the printhead will often get...

Left side is from my test. Right is a sample of how it should appear. Prints still look very good coming through, no banding, though would like to correct this. Where is the fault -and- how to adjust? Thanks in advance.

Cable just snapped, manually moved head carriage to the right, though don't know how to get the caps up to seal the heads in this state. As well, need guidance on cable replacement. Thanks in advance.

Recently replaced my beloved Roland XC-540 because I was having problems with 1 of the print heads, and because the printer was down a BIT too long while I was waiting for the parts to arrive to repair it, I had a second head get clogged and expire! So, since the printer was getting old and...

hello I would like to get some advice. I originally used BN-20 (printer A) to run a small business. However, one day, blue ink started to seep into the yellow ink area as shown in the photo below, and the resulting color came out messy. (The photo shows a nozzle test after cleaning, so the...

Hello everyone, I recently got a Roland VS-640i from an auction. I bought it without knowing if it was working, and as soon as I got it, I tested everything, and it worked well. It was running with double CMYK and some non-branded cartridges, so I changed it to the same aftermarket ink that I...

I am perplexed. The nozzle drop out in the light magenta is very new, the banding has been happening for some time, but its ONLY in the cyan and blue colors, nothing else! And it seems to be getting worse! I used Substance's ICC profile for a while but as the banding began to get worse - I...

Hi Team, my machine Roland VG 640 popped an errorcode 0040 0040. Then after cleaning rail and checking dampers, and firing up, it came up with service call 0360. I can't really find any info online about it nor here after searching for hours. If the scan motor has died, how easy are they to...

Hi I have recently had a new Printhead but haven’t used it for a week. It has been left on the secondary power but the new Printhead is not firing properly. Can anyone offer any advice of what may be causing this?

Hello- I recently had Lt. Magenta ink dropout on large sections of the test print. This happened before and I changed the damper and worked perfectly. Now it started again 4 months later, so I changed the damper out and now test print is perfect and printing well. Two things: the dampers are...

We've purchased a new VG3-640 Printer and a GR2-640 cutter a little less then half a year ago. We've been getting an "AAS ERROR" every once in a while. It doesn't matter if it is a highly complex print or just simple stickers. The other errors we get are "AAS DETECT FAIL" and "AAS FILE COMMAND...

I am selling my Roland VP540i 54" print/cut. Purchased in 2011 and was my main printer until 2015 when I upgraded to a XR-640. This printer primarily has run vinyl banner since then. I have since purchased another XR-640 and are no longer in need of this printer. It has a newer print head with...

We're having an issue with banding on our Roland VG3 and I was wondering anyone here can give a bit of advice. I have my VG3 since January 2024. It's my first large format eco solvent printer so forgive me if I don't communicate the problem perfectly. For the vast majority of what we have...

After a new head install some of our brand new cartridges were reporting low ink and long runtime in the service report. This got me wondering how they stored the data. Taking the chip out I saw an EEPROM chip, and looked to read the data off it. Its uses the DS2431 which has a great Arduino...

Hi Signs101! Long time lurker, first time poster. We had a service contract with Nazdar for our Rolands (VG2-540 & VG3-640) but our company let the VG2 contract lapse for too long and Nazdar said that we can't renew it at this point. Are there any independent service techs that are in Kentucky...
