Roland dampener gone twice in one day
Hi folks,
Currently waiting for Roland to call back, but interested to see if anyone can give me a fix in mean time.
Cyan head went on Roland vs 540 last week. Dampener issue or so everyone thought. As we are the top of Scotland it takes Roland 4 days to get an engineer on site. Dampener was replaced yesterday morning, everything was sweet. Been printing non stop since then. Till 15mins ago when the same problem has come back. Same cyan column.
Open to suggestions as it’s going to be next Tuesday again before we are back up and running.

It may not be the damper after all. Check the pump is pulling ink through and there are no restrictions in the outlet pipe/tubing as these can become blocked over time. Also check the capping station is sealing correctly.

Not sure the setup of newer roland printers. But could the manifold pin be split? in the past I remember this happening when securing the damper on the pin. The pin can be brittle and cracked while pushing the damper on. If the machines/head assembly are still made the same its worth checking that too. Or could be simply air in the line?
In the past i would always keep dampers and manifolds in stock in the off chance something like that happened, and would change them my self.
However, I remember not so long ago at a show and looking inside a Roland machine they had opened and it looked very different to my Roland machines. the new ones are so much neater and compact, so may be different these days. -
Cheers rob. Will mention it. Roland have ruled everything else out at the minute and seen a bit stumped as to how it happened. Hopefully engineer up the road before the weekend
