Ok so now I'm stuck doing a fill... Did you have to do this, or did you just pull the pump line off?

I figured it out, I just unplugged the ink pump motors and slapped some lam over the ink cart chips Fun stuff!

A question, does anyone know if double white lines are faster than single metallic lines?
CMYK-Cl-Ml-MT-W or CMYK-Cl-Ml-WW

Double white is not possible. (Makes no sense, because it also needs to dry)

Could someone send me the instructions to change the ink configuration to 2CMYK, please?

Hello, we have a vs-640 and we ll change ink configuration from CMYKLCLMWMt to double CMYK. As the 2 channels of W and Mt are clogged(tubes, dampers, recirculation pumps etc) , does anybody knows if we can bypass these pumps and install 2 new channels like the 6 standard ones (CMYKLCLM) ? Ps We ll also change the printhead to a new one as its also clogged.. I attach the diagramm (the last 2 to become like the other 6 without pumps/joints etc)

Thanks a lot for any future help!

Hi,
did you make the bypass? I am dealing with the same problem.

Wonder why none has converted 8 colors to 6 colors with double cyan and magenta. Lines are the same, only white and metallic swap to cyan and magenta. There are many owners of VS that run them with cleaning cartridges for long time now.

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 different black densities for gray scale fine art prints back then.

I have a Vs640 CMYKcm WM converted to CMYKcm with CCMM work good for year and you can in submenu disable the double CM if you have probleme with the old WM lines ... (disable alternation menu)
