Trying to find out which order the colors of the Test Print are in for a Roland VS-540i so I can find out which color is missing nozzles to flush with cleaning solution. Looking closely at my test print I think the Color Order is Light Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Magenta and...

I am newer to this machine but i manage many other digital printers. I have been on this machine for a few months and i have a stack of solid test prints. We usually run this machine non-stop but have had a few months down time. When i came back to run the machine as i did before the test prints...

Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...

Hey all, We're seriously considering adding a medium-format UV-flatbed printer to our arsenal. We would like something that can accommodate coroplast signs that are 28"x44". This is about the largest size that we would like to print DTS in-house. We have been comparing a few different models...

Our business have used nothing but Roland DGA products since the beginning. We have been loyal and used only Roland parts and OEM inks. Recently our Roland wide format printer starting acting up by running a cleaning cycle during every printing process. (there were no updates made to software...

Experts! My VP-540 has sat idle for a number of months, it was left turned on so it would do the automatic clean cycles. I've cleaned up the cap tops, soaked the heads overnight, done a manual clean, a couple of medium cleans, and a powerful clean to have a very faint yellow (almost white) on...

I have a VP-540 that has 2 broken IC Cartridge Sensors inside Slot 3 and Slot 4 of the Ink Cartridge Slots. I attached a picture of the sensors that I need to replace. There is no manual on how to change them out and just need some pointers on what to take off first so I can get the sensors...

Hey all, Is there a way to add a notification or noise to the printer when its done printing? Thanks

Printer was printing black fine, but the other colors weren't printing unless I changed the black cables to them. I replaced the print carriage board (part W701588210) and now the led on the board blinks and the other end of the printer clicks when trying to turn the printer on. Does anyone...

Hey guys! I’ve been creeping on this page for so long and I finally pulled the trigger on my first UV printer! I’ve been in the signage/wrapping for over 10 years. I’ve worked with Roland Eco Solvent, HP Latex and a Graphtec FC8000-130 that I actually purchased from a great guy in PA off this...

So, yesterday I changed out a liner encoder strip on our Roland SP-540v (firmware 6.3) and, although it prints the image still "skews". I figured I'd need to do the "Linear Encoder Setup" as per the Service manual. I attempted AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST to enter service mode... the usual, start...

Hi there. My old Mutoh is getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking about an upgrade. My issue is I don't use it a lot. (but of course when I do I need it to perform well). I realise that solvent printers need to be used. (this could be one of the reason I have quite a few issues with my...

Hey guys, What am i missing here? Ill go ahead and upload an image, but I am running into a step i must be missing. Im newer to illustrator, i originally designed and learned from Gerber Omega so im having to go the hard route unlearning that and relearning illustrator! you will see a picture...

A few questions about moving on from an older printer. Full Rant below: 1- what is the expected life span of a Roland printer/cutter, when used heavily, but taken care of? 2- Is there a market for old printers? In some ways they seem like vehicles. In a lot of ways the old ones were superior...

Yesterday it was fine, then this morning when I began to print I saw a lot of ink being dripped and trailed over the vinyl. I think it is a damper issue, not 100% sure though, if its a damper issue is that something I change out or should I schedule a tech? Thanks
