"If you haven't yet, get new cap tops, that will also assist and maybe get some back. From experience deflecting nozzles rarely come back, as they are usually due to either a head strike or rub and are slightly damaged, however, if they are…"

"Glad to hear you were able to get it to work. I did take a look at the test print and you do have some deflecting nozzles and some missing, but once you do the head alignments and the adjustments, you might be able to play around with the settings…"

"Looks to be sitting properly. Have you replaced the captops recently? Also, did you make sure the fuse wasn't blown? If fuse is fine, I would start with a 48 hour head soak, and make sure you clamp off the line after the cap top so that the…"

"I haven't used the 2's or 3's myself, so can't comment. I do hope they are better like you say, the only real downside is you're locked out, which makes it really frustrating for people like me that do their own maintenance…"

"Do you have pictures? If your cap tops are older then 6 months, I'd start there if your test print looks good."

"I would recommend the VS-300 as well, I have used most of those options and still have a VS-300i, it is my favorite of the Roland printers. I am very wary of the newer models, as they are still very buggy. I have a SG-300 and up until a few months…"

"I wish I could, but alas, I'm no mind reader."

"You need to go into more detail, also maybe some photos of what it's doing, along with a nozzle test print."

"Great, I wish you luck."

"I think you are on the right track if those heads can be saved at all, really sounds like they've dried up from lack of use, as these machines are meant to be used on a regular basis. My first suggestion would be to do at least a 48 hour head…"

"Did you try as Irving suggested?"

"If I remember correctly, you are missing a step between 2 and 3."

"You could also try sign-in-china, but beware, a lot of their parts aren't OEM."

"3 things I could suggest, first being if your wipers and cap tops are over a year old, replace them. Second, you could try a head soak, make sure you clamp off the lines after the cap tops, before the pump to make sure the cleaning liquid…"

"Have you tried restarting the printer and the computer, could be network related. Typically if it were the printhead, it would move and go along and just not print anything, but if it's not moving at all, then there would be something else. The…"

"I rarely get my printers serviced either, as I keep up on the regular maintenance and that helps big time, but every now and then, servicing by a tech is needed for my SG-300, as mentioned, you can no longer get into the menu to service it yourself.…"
