TGIF!!

another solid recommendation!

How about something designed to stick to low surface energy plastics? the Substance 440LSE may work well.... like the pads, everything will deteriorate in the sunlight. replace every 5 or so years....

I like the in-laws version better visually - but to get the important info across in a sign, the first one tells you everything where it cannot be missed.

yes, check this, but since the motor was changed recently, check to make sure there is not any slack in any of the linkages between the motor and carriage - something is slipping, if not the media, then something in the plotter....

how many marks are being scanned before it starts plotting? is the plotter merely following from the origin, or is it looking at the print an interpreting the size (segment area correction...) ... The plotter can either measure your print and adjust accordingly, or it can cut a static plot...

...but the ink tubes slapping can be very controlled and give almost a pad printed artifact (and it was 'step-and-repeated') - it was not obvious at first what was happening on our prints until the second clip let go.

A failed trailing cable that has the intermittent motion activated when the carriage moves sounds like a good place to look.... the tube slapping the media looked very similar, but mine definitely had more smearing... those streaks look like the printheads firing, but in a tight line...

in looking at your pics again, and comparing to our 700w - the 2-3" marked area is in the same area (left to right) that ours was. good luck!

this may seem a little off, but we had a similar mark show up on our 700w prints... one of the tubes that feeds the heads had come a little loose and could form a loop that would slap the freshly printed media - and oddly in about the same location - like you see in your prints. The transfer...

too many words have gained new meanings in the past 100 years.... but this is still a good one!

and now for something completely different....

... before loading media, if you put a very thin bit of silicone lubricant on the area where the adhesive builds up, you can save yourself the headache of cleaning it up afterward.... care must be takes to not get silicone lubricant on the rollers or anywhere where there should be friction...
