Need Help SG540 Deflection

[Aaron Carpenter]

Hey everybody
As the heading says I have a persistent deflection (I think) on the cyan channel. Has anyone had any success remedying such a thing?

I had the same problem on a non-Roland flatbed UV printer. The issue was expired ink. Check the manufactured date on your ink.

Interesting. Tr2 Cyan ink is from 2020. Would that be considered expired?

Well I don't know for sure, but that seems old to me. The ink I use for the UV printer I'm referring to expires at 1yr. Is the Cyan older than the other colors?

You know it actually is. I’ll pick up a 2022 cyan and give it a whirl

Seems to all be adding up. It sucks to throw away ink but it's cheaper than other problems. Good luck.

Roland solvent inks are good for 2 years from the date on the cartridge - if stored properly. So it could be old - depending on the month. Remember to do a couple of powerful cleanings to get the fresh ink up to the head.

Good Luck
