"That is why I do easy first (cleaning). The captop comes with lines to attach to the y connector. If the ink is dried in the lines from the captop to the y, the new captop will handle that, if not from the y to the pump needs to be clean also. Until…"

My SP300V never told me the ink cartridge was empty. Could this have happened during the holidays when I was away and the machine was doing its self-cleaning? I noticed the red was printing orangey…Continue

The girl I purchased my used Roland SP300V, told me I had to leave the media lever in the down position for the auto clean to work. In other words the machine must think there is media loaded. I…Continue

We just brought home a used SP300v. While getting it upstairs we tilted it and lost ink out of the head (I think). When I turn on the printer the display says dry up of head. What to do now? I do not…Continue

Connie replied to Connie's discussion No red or yellow printing"Irving,
I finally did get some red and yellow after pulling clogged ink from the pump lines. I still have missing bars after many cleanings. Should I keep on doing cleanings (did about 4 yesterday and a manual this morning) or just wait till the cap…"
irving donaldson replied to Connie's discussion No red or yellow printing"The fuse is on the right side, same side as the control panel.you will need to remove the control panel cover and then the top panel. The mainboard is under there and you will see two fuses one for each line. Do not remember off hand if the 300V…"
Connie replied to Connie's discussion No red or yellow printing"You know it did do something weird one day, scared me to death. I heard a nose coming from the office, went upstairs and there was a error message on the machine and I cannot even remember what it was. (Why didn't I write it down?) I think it…"
irving donaldson replied to Connie's discussion No red or yellow printing"Connie your SP has two heads and the one out shares those two colors. The steps you took are the correct ones. So you can continue to do the swab against the head - soaked in Roland fluid not alcohol, a few more times. You can also try a few…"
Connie posted a discussionNo red or yellow printing
My SP300V never told me the ink cartridge was empty. Could this have happened during the holidays when I was away and the machine was doing its self-cleaning? I noticed the red was printing orangey and then faint, so I checked the levels and had one small bar. Did a test print and it was not good on the red so I went ahead and changed the ink cartridge. Now I do not have red or yellow printing. When I did a manual clean I noticed gunked up ink in the red cap top. I have ordered a cap top and…See More
Connie replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"That is so confusing. Why print the chart with one setting, then all your jobs that might be using a Roland color with another setting? What does the setting prepress even mean?"
Butch replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"I changed the queue settings back to prepress after printing the chart since prepress is what I use most often."
Connie replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"The video does say to use the Prepress setting."
Connie replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Found it. I guess I now have to print out a new chart! So is it my understanding that it is OK if all things in Queue A print with the "Density Control Only" setting chosen, even if you are not using the Roland Color chart?"
Steven Jackson - Admin replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Here is a video on how to set it up to print the chart and use the Roland Spot Color System. Check out the video archive on this forum as well for other helpful videos.

irving donaldson replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Thanks Butch - off doing work. Connie it is exactly what Butch said - but it has to be done in the Queue A settings prior to selecting the chart to print. Once you set the queue up you can then open VW go to the top Media menu and select the chart…"
Butch replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Go to Job settings, Quality, Color Management, your default is prepress arrow down Density Control is the last one."
Connie replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature""Density Control"??
I am searching for this in Versaworks settings. Do not see it."
irving donaldson replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Connie plenty of great help on this site and I should be around a little more - have been on an unapproved hiatus for a while. Yes I have printed an RGB chart as well - actually Steve did it for me. When printing your Roland chart you needed to have…"
Connie replied to Connie's discussion Auto Clean Feature"Irving,
Great to know I don't have to leave the rollers down.
I have printed out the Roland color chart and did some reading and believe I can now figure out how to get a good black, and navy instead of purple! If you don't always use the…"
