Roland 54"

[dayi1000]

Hi All

i have just bought a roland/cadet sp54"

when i am printing the crop marks they are all fuzzy around the edges
so the printer will not pick them up, also there is a slight fuzz to everything black,
i have performed a head clean and soak, is there anything else it could be or am i going the wrong way?

i have attached a few pictures to help

could it be the encoder strip??

Cheers

You might see if the print head is raised or lowered.
Lowered gives sharper prints.
We raise the head on banner material

The head is in the low position!

I've seen this on my Roland. Your sensor strip need to be replaced or flipped. They cost about $200.

Do i flip it so the part thats been in the clamp in on top?
or turn it round so what was at the back is now to the front?

Cheers

Turn it around so that the back is the front. Do you have a local Roland tech? You can always call Roland to free tech support as well.

Have swapped it round but still the same problem :-(

Okay, then you need a new strip. You can only use each side once. That one has most likely been flipped before.
