    thanks for that RL can’t believe that someone stays less than 5miles from me might be able to fix it, I had visions of sending it down south or somewhere to be repaired at large costs.

    My problem with it, is about a year ago it started leaving lines on prints, so I decided to stop doing prints and as long as it cut vinyl then that would do me, as the cost of printing was getting a bit expensive and a bit stressful when ribbons started to snap or prints had lines or bands left on them.
    Then about 4 months ago I decided to move machine from the spare room in house to the garage, which I had set out as a sign workshop, from then once I switched machine on the printhead/plotter holder mechanism doesn’t move, I’ve tried everything to rectify it but no joy, the signwork was still coming in so I decided to buy a new mimaki cutter for £1000 rather than get the roland fixed, but now a customer has asked for some printing and that’s what got me wondering if it was worth repairing the machine

    Lines on the print says to me that the print head is shot.
