  2. SP-540 overspray

    +1 usually the cleaning will clear that up, if the auto cleaning doesn't work try the manual. sometimes dust or fuzz can get on or around the print head area and cause that

  12. What print quality do you use to print your banners?

    it depends on the artwork and where it is being used if it's out side viewed from a distance i always use high speed but sometimes with indoor banners that will be viewed up close and the artwork is very detailed i will use the standard setting (not a huge difference but sometimes noticable)
