If you bought them from china 99% chance it is an old faulty head. That is why they are cheap. Get a new head from a legitimate dealer and it will work fine.
Don;t worry about the head rank code as the head will still work without this being inputted

It cost me $650 + 50 of shipment. Also im trying to making it work with one white head and the gold one installed (some sites says it wouldnt work but doesnt specify in which aspect)

Is your first photo of the new head as that doesn't look new and the head rank sticker isn't genuine
They dont want me to return it as they say that is user issue. Im not dumb but they still think is air in the hose the problem itsnt they also think could be dampers y changed them for some new, also changed the cables.

Also some more photos of the head you have bought as it doesnt look like it is new. If it was the code on the packaging should match the code on the head

Yes the head will be for mimaki from the code, but if it works it will still work fine in a Roland without entering the code

Sorry I meant to say the underside of the head to see the condition. It doesn't look new though as it should have a number written in pen like the head on the right. The Chinese sellers often get old heads and just clean the outside which can end up losing that number plus the original head rank sticker and sell them as new or refurbished
