irving donaldson replied to Steven Jackson - Admin's discussion New release from Roland - DTG!"Yes - the launch is Long Beach - they are comparing it to the brother gtx and the epson 2000. 2 piezo heads - like the tru vis, but pigment ink - Price looks good, use looks good - and the user video at the end of month. Only the dealer video is out…"
irving donaldson replied to Steven Jackson - Admin's discussion New release from Roland - DTG!"Lastly, end user video to be launch at the end of the month - will be unboxed and then soup to nuts. Front to end - 5 steps"
irving donaldson replied to Steven Jackson - Admin's discussion New release from Roland - DTG!"The Video is out for this $5000 Unit. Pigment ink. There is an optional cassette tray for smaller images. Ink carts are $71 a little more for the black which is larger. Need to buy a usb printer cable."
irving donaldson replied to Marilee's discussion Print test showing cyan issues"Need to see what you see and see a nozzle test.
not sure what that link is for but it is not coming up on my machine"
irving donaldson replied to Lourens Bezuidenhout's discussion Reasonable hours for a used VS 540"Ok I can look at the test print and tell you to buy the machine, period - you get the manual and take care of it you will make your money back.
Now looking at the report - you see channel 6 - you have 6 billion shots - that is the life…"
irving donaldson replied to Duncan Caulfield's discussion Blocked black on SP300i"indicative of exhausted nozzles. You can try changing the damper, which is the cheaper of the two. However the nipple is brittle and sensitive use care or you will crack and get air. To have 3 channels firing that good, the black is know to be used…"
irving donaldson replied to Andy Morris's discussion BLUE WONT SHUT OFF!"lol, straighten those cables - line them back up and use the ferrite blockers/"
irving donaldson replied to Duncan Caulfield's discussion Blocked black on SP300i"I know I answered this and there was no test print, so now no answer and a test print. You need a head"
irving donaldson replied to Andy Morris's discussion BLUE WONT SHUT OFF!"Search the site for block printing. YOu did not put the cables back correctly and that is electrical interference
If you just replaced the heads, that is not good either for you should be getting all nozzles"
irving donaldson replied to Justin Rexwinkle's discussion Roland VS540 banding"You have a great nozzle test other than that Magenta channel. The one missing black nozzle would never show up in your prints due to how the printing is overlapped. So when you see the consistent missing nozzles you need to look at head surface. The…"
irving donaldson replied to Brian K. Pedigo's discussion Incorrect Colors"One has nothing to do with the other. You are not printing what is on your monitor. You are not understanding how colors work and if your use the Roland Color Library and pick a grey from that chart, it will print that way all the time. Also if you…"
irving donaldson replied to Brian K. Pedigo's discussion PerfCut Lines"if your files are eps then you need an eps margin or any line on the image edge will be losst."
irving donaldson replied to Steven Jackson - Admin's discussion New release from Roland - DTG!"Did not make the plan trip to Long Beach, I guess I will have to see it in Japan."
irving donaldson replied to Justin Rexwinkle's discussion Roland VS540 banding"Unless I am seeing wrong - you have issues on the print head meaning they will not be recovered.
Also on the right side and edges, there should be no dry ink which can impede the head from properly sealing."
irving donaldson replied to Lourens Bezuidenhout's discussion Reasonable hours for a used VS 540"Not about the hours on the machine. It is about the shots on the head and maybe motor hours. Post a nozzle test."

Posted on April 29, 2015 at 3:35pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Recently, Inobu and I had a very interesting conversation offline about an online topic of connectivity. He was contradicting my many years of connecting Versaworks to VersaCAMMS. Inobu were using terms like Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) and I was like WTH. Life needs to be simple and the more time I have showing and not connecting is the best for me. I found no problem in setting a static IP address on the network card, and making VWs and the VC have the same address on…
