Recently I am fighting with my VS540. I had one of my Cyan not printing at all but I know my print heads works so it's a line issue. If you remembered this I did asked you a question on this topic but the very stubborn Cyan just not showing. I did so much such as totally removing the choke valve, sniffed the Y tube and flush as well, flush all line with cleaning cartridges, changed three pumps, changed captops and changed three time three set of dampers (usually its the problems) Finally I have got nothing else to change expect of another DX7 print head...the first test print is perfect so there goes to show I did changed the dampers too many times and cracked the manifold of the head. I just wouldn't want to believe it that manifold can be that easily cracked even though I read about it

My VG-540 has no cyan which lead me here. I reached out to a tech I found from rolands site and I sent them my test print which is perfect minus the cyan. I asked if a printhead might be in order since I already did the cap tops and head soaks. They told me I might need 1,2 or even 3 printheads?! All I am missing is cyan so I can't even see how a 3rd comes into play but to address my new trust issues, how many printheads are on a VG540? Just looking at it with caveman knowledge, I count 4 total. I'd like to tackle it myself if possible, especially after my quote hiked from $2200 to $4500.

how do you move the print gantry without putting it in Manual cleaning? like how you are able to move it around freely?

On the Truevis units with the power off, push carriage to the right to unlock head carriage

What happen if the arm is not moving at all to the left or right. (Arm on yellow)

It is either full and not suctioning properly or it is not filling up properly

Hello. Please let us which Third party inks you intend to use. Would Jetbest ink be a good choice?

@reprint217 9 ай бұрын

That is the ink I will be ordering! I tried orange from another company and had major regrets, to say the least. I've been using jetbest for years in legacy machines.

I was about to buy a VG which hasn't run for 4 years and try to fix it. what do you think?

@reprint217 2 ай бұрын

I would have to recommend against it. I personally have decided not to buy truevis models unless they are working or maybe just one head bad. I believe the new line of printers are disposable and most will require more work than they are worth. I've learned my lesson on the old VG machines and from this channel have witnessed many that have lost money trying to rehab them. I have SP models that have been running for 20 years and I am afraid them days are gone.

@@reprint217 Thank you for your quick reply and input, really appriciate it. Yeah I have VP and VS, the VP has been running for 20 years but it's on it's last legs, the VS is good but the printheads drop out channels randomly during print, very rarely does it print consistantly for few months without an issue again. need a solid option going forward without breaking the bank. I've always done my own repairs so im not scared of getting my hands dirty. Should I just stick to the old tech seeing I don't want to spend too much on a backup printer?

It is true that I need a code to enter in maintenance mode to install a new printhead?

@reprint217 2 ай бұрын

It's the head rank, and though not mandatory, you will have better results by entering the head rank.

Do you think I would be able to replace the cyan printhead myself? and where do I get it? I may need your assistance.

after so many years of experience, which heads are better DX4 or flexfire heads. I have an SP540i which serves me well, should I upgrade to the sg3 540.

@reprint217 9 ай бұрын

Dx4 printhead is definitely one of my favorites, but old tech. Think an SG3 would be a nice upgrade. Flexfire printheads are not even the same category as the dx4 in terms of reliability. I have a VG3 and like it. I think someone coming from a 2 head, 4 color would be very pleased with the upgrade.
