  • Roland FJ-50 Print overspray

    Posted by Crispa on August 1, 2007 at 9:43 am

    I have a Roland FJ-50 that keeps making an overspray to the right hand side on the print, in all colours, we have changed the heads, capper, pump, dampers, ink lines, inks, and still doing it, a tech has had a look at it and could not fix it. i have tried every thing, head ID, calibration, but still not it. can any one please help me on this issue, and hope to find a solution to the problem. The printer has been converted to solvent, but it was doing this before we converted, so it not the inks, or the conversion.

    Please i hope someone can HELP me on this.

    i have had similar to pic in other post before and was as mentioned static.
    test by removing this vinyl, earth machine chassis to ground briefly then put in a bit of vinyl that has never been in that machine before and test print.

    Hi thanks for the reply

    i tried earthing it with a damp cloth but still not luck, i might need a wire to properly earth it. Should i earth the main chasis or the actual vinyl roller? Also this might sound stupid, but the printer is located on a second floor on wood floor, should i earth it to the wood floor or a metal part of the floor.
