Dose anyone no what would be causing this? missing lines in the calibration feed test done same thing with 2 different heads now .

looks like your just missing a few in your nozzle check doesn't look too bad though. how are your prints coming out?

change your feed alignment to the 0.20... you have paper feed issues

And clean your nozzles

yeah doesn't look too bad. you can do a head soak over night and then pull some ink in the morning. that might clean up the nozzles

Prints are very bandy print calibration is hard as you can see it will miss complete lines of dots yet the head test print and the ink fill test look ok. Very different machine to my jv3

Hey Turrbo,

JasonMeisnerSTS asked a very important question when he posed how are the prints coming out. Although you have some missing nozzles (which suggest the head may be failing), the prints from the computer may look great (basically, the volume of ink used is masking the missing nozzles). However, if the prints from the computer are poor, then you need to get the nozzles restored to 100% function.

If the suggestions offered by the other posters do not help, and the cleaning routines that you normally perform do not bring back the nozzles (e.g. manual cleaning, powerful), then your machine will need service (and possible cap top, damper and head replacement). Please call your regional Roland dealer to discuss servicing.

problem turned out to be that 2 heads in the machine must be the old style and are not compatible with the newer machines
