Onyx X 10.1 with my SC 540 not working
Does anyone know much about it – I recently purchased the latest onyx production house nicely spent $4500
My 10 yrs old printer won’t run properly with it keeps crashing slow random pausing between passes just doesn’t like it :S
Also the onyx didn’t come with drivers for my old Roland Sc 540 so the rep advised me to Run sc 540 EX its not working
Any ideas guys ?
Thank you

first thought is the network is not working correctly.
don’t know onyx or the EX but i can tell you that the SC540 pro2 runs beautifully on colourrip 2.1 XP only or wasatch colourrip upgrade any os.
the upgrade is cheap compared and locked to one roland printer and computer.
think the sc540 ex was the pro2 with heaters fitted at the factory the pro2 was a after fit. -
Mmmm its not network because on same PC I used versaworks and printed fine 🙂 good god I really wanted to get it working 🙁
-
did you run the SC on Versaworks if so what have they done to it as it should not run because of the head layout. being different from the V models.

Sorry Nancy but I have little confidence in a lot of reps, your best bet would be to fire off an email to onyx technical support. I have emailed them a couple of times & they have been very helpful & I don’t even have onyx, was just looking at buying an older version that supported my printer.

Hi chris Martin yes versaworks worked I have an sc 540 I know weird but it worked as sc540 Ex also I think Chris your thinking about the xc the heads start with cyan mine starts with K black
I was think to contact onyx once I give up trying :S
(chat.) -
thanks for that my sc540 also starts K and roland uk are adamant that VW will not drive it apart from one ver of VW that has a dongle and expensive.
so keep to colour rip and very happy
as martin says speak to onyx

I need to learn this stuff. I’d love to be able to offer help and say "give me a call and we can work through the possibilities…" Sadly all I can offer at this stage, Nancy, is more general moral support and you’re more than welcome to contact me for that. Apart from the technical problems, how are you? Love the photo.
It’s so heartening to be amongst such nice, helpful people. Sometimes I’m just so glad I joined this forum… Hats off to you all

Gordon that’s so sweet yes we are like family here 🙂 there is things I’m strong and my knowledge is good and other things I’m not scared to ask there opinion everyone here is so nice and helpful – I will make an effort to visit sign UK one day 🙂

I guess you’re an American sign or t-shirt maker — I often wonder if they do it any differently over there. They say everything is bigger over there.. if you are ever visiting the UK/Scotland, maybe you could pop in and have a look at my equipment. My plotter is pretty big and despite being kinda old it still does a good job.
I’m building a new purpose-built table at the moment, just for… well… I guess I don’t need to explain to you, you probably have one yourself?
