Roland SC-500 Heater Upgrade
Not sure if anyone can offer any help with this issue at all, I have had no joy with the normally really helpful Roland support due to the age of my printer.
I have as stated above a Roland SC-500 Print and Cut with the Hu-501 heater upgrade kit however, about a moth ago (after investigation) it would appear that the heater (well the heating tape element under the print path) has gone open circuit and is now useless. I have been told that providing the room temperature is kept high, printing shouldn’t be too affected.
As most of you know, the printer should normally be kept upto 50degrees or thereabouts. Hmmm, keeping the room heated to 50 degrees in the winter is proving rather expensive.
have considered various workarounds like a heat gun during printing etc. Still no permanent fix on the cards.
PLEASE HELP ANYONE!

lee a 4 foot tube green house heater mounted on the lower cross bar.
this is used on mine to keep the machine gently warmed over nite. when i come in in the morning its already got a bed temp of 20 deg c.
drying the prints will me a lot slower though.this was done to be fairer to the machine the bed used to go down to 8 deg ink as well, causing all sorts of problems.
