Compatibility & Important Requirements
S-PG2 inks are NOT backward compatible with S-PG inks.
- All cartridges must be the same generation (either all S-PG or all S-PG2)
- Mixing ink types will result in printer errors and is not supported
Upgrading from S-PG to S-PG2
If your printer is currently running first-generation S-PG inks, a system conversion is required before using S-PG2 inks: Upgrade using the Roland S-PG2 Conversion Kit , which includes cleaning components, replacement maintenance parts, and S-PG2 cartridges to ensure a safe and complete transition.
This conversion process is essential to maintain print quality, protect your printer, and fully benefit from the improved S-PG2 ink system.
