Roland vs640 seeping ink

[Warregosigns]

Hi guys , my first post on this site,

My Roland vs640 has been printing 10/10 perfect , though lately in standard setting it has been dropping blobs of blue ink onto the media clamps and the print ,Today it's worse!
Blue ink dropping straight through the head even in maintenance mode,
I have :
1. Shaken all inks
2. Replaced the cyan cartridges
3. Done numerous cleaning cycles
4. Replaced cap top
5. Performed manual cleaning.

fixed it for a while , but not long just big heavy blobs of blue ink?
all Roland genuine

any advice Please

Time for new dampers, wipers, in addition to the capping stations. Those are all annual service consumables. Might consider the cyan pump too. Perhaps it's drain line is plugged or you have a bad pump. I'm assuming it's not in an area with more than 20 degrees F temp change overnight.... That can make even the cleanest machine dribble. Particularly if humidity changes with it.

Hello Warregosigns,

If you end up replacing the dampers and the problem continues, then there's no need for you to continue struggling with this issue. Just consult with your regional Roland dealer and they'll take care of you. They'll get the printer up and running for you. Just an idea.

If you do want to consult with Roland corporate support, you will need you to complete our support submission form so we can create a support ticket for you. Go here to submit your info: Product Support Form | Roland
