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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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
where can I buy print head for a SG2-540?
