Mike, thanks for doing these vids! I was able to change the cyan/magenta head on my SG-540, but now Im getting an alignment issue. It's like the black isn't lining up and the image is fuzzy. What would be the next step to stop that?
@@reprint217 I figured it out. The head wasn’t pushed flat. I had to use a little more force than I expected. Once in position correctly, everything works as it should. Thanks for the help!
@reprint217 Can you help me? I buy a roland truevis vg3, and have a lot of problems... The shop that sell me the machine, have change the printhead of cian twice... in 4 / 5 months the machine starts banding... all right with nozzle check, PERFECT! And now have the same problem with green 😡😡 Can you help me PLZ!!
Hello buddy, I have a LEF2-300 print head to replace, genuine Roland head. Is this the same or similar process as in doubt wether I’ll be able to do on my own?
Oh man, these are a lot of fun, they aren't much different but the dampers have a "shield" and an adapter . I haven't made an LEF how to yet as it likely isn't for a beginner. And if something goes wrong dealing with the boards is a PIA. The lef2-300 still a 25k +/- machine. Probably would have a tech do it tbh. (Also make sure it is the new gold head)
How do you know when it’s time to get a new head. I got some clogged nozzles but I feel like it might be possible to save. There’s only a few nozzles not showing that are making a negative difference in my print quality. Thanks
I am a teacher at a high school and use a Roland sg3 in my Visual Communications class. I was quoted $1100 to replace a broken head. Where is a good place to find a reasonably priced printer head?
Hi can you please give me some advise. My VG2’s light black channel keeps dropping out. Had Roland around and they replaced the head and dampers but still is doing it. There is ink in the damper and pump works.
Super easy to follow. Thanks Mike!
Thanks for the support!

You need to get into service mode and do alignments

This is my usual go-to www.digiprint-supplies.com/en/vg-i-assy-inkjet-head-250l-6000006702
i have a 4 head VG2 is it possible to convert it to a 2 head
Unfortunately it is not possible. I use to want to do this with Old VP's wanting to trick them into being SP's.
Where should I buy a replacement
Digiprint-supplies.com is the cheapest right now
Can you help me get into the service menu in the Roland Vg3
I sure can! Is your machine not under warranty? I have the bypass but don't want to screw up your warranty
@@reprint217 this machine not under warranty
No
Just posted video
