oops, my bad, I didn't catch that - I too would be interested to know what kind of topcoat would make it work with ecosolv inks.

You could just buy canvas that is made for ecosolv printing. Tons of options and will print beautifully.

I agree decolit works well with the epson inks and looks real good. A bit pricey.

I would clean less, and print more. The less you touch these heads the better. Is it always the same nozzles that are out? Those few nozzles missing wouldn't be seen in any print - in my opinion.

Are you user that your print isn't already 'stretched' ?

That is a good nozzle check and will likely go to 100% after printing a little bit.

Could be some nozzles aren't firing. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. The orange print does look like you are losing nozzles. It's true that you'll sometimes have a perfect nozzle test and then a nozzle can drop out when printing. Not really related to the problem you're having...

Does anyone here, who runs their own shop, think that carrying a balance is a good idea? Honestly...

It doesn't look like a "color drop out across the board". Looks like once it gets up to temperature, your feed calibration is off. But then again, you've only shown one image.

Sounds like you're sure you know what it is. Does your RIP allow you to print colour bars on the side? That might be useful to see which colour is having the problem. The first image looks like feed calibration. You say " up to 6 pass". That's our go to, except for banners. Have you tried...

Did you put the vinyl in, attach to the takeup, and do the media adjust?

Your Epson inks will scratch easily. I would suggest something with a pebble/textured surface, it helps a lot.

Spit it out man!

Except he said it's been a week.

Doesn't look quite like silvering to me. Looks like dust or material defect. If you press hard over one of those spots, or heat up one of those spots... or both - does it reduce the silvering?

Hi zspace, do you have a colex or are you going off of the samples colex gives out?

Nice document. I think it's the feed rate and nozzles are fine. 6pass should be fine always, if the media adjustments are done correctly. I can get 4pass on some matte vinyls to look perfect as well.

Have you tried a feed calibration? Try the auto version in "Media Adjust". I would try it with the takeup reel attached, then perform that operation. I'm guessing you won't see that banding again.

Does Ij39 adhesive look like that? Our is clear adhesive (white), not sure if there are other options.

Imagine, just imagine, what this guy's posts would look like if he didn't wish you all the best.. o_O
