  1. L26500 cartridge bulging

    Incredibly. Once it was unlatched I had to grip the tray it rides on with both hands and brace the machine with my foot to keep it from rolling. Each time this happens I'm convinced I'm going to break the darn thing because the plastic creaks and groans as I pull on it. While it's not every...
  2. L26500 cartridge bulging

    That's all well and good but it's just going in the trash after I pull it out, and our garbage pickup doesn't charge us based on what ink carts are bloated vs not bloated. Unless there's something else I need to be doing when replacing these things I'll be calling our service tech on Monday to...
  3. L26500 cartridge bulging

    Yeah I'm doing it through the proper channels. I know better than to just start pulling things out of the machine willy-nilly.
  4. L26500 cartridge bulging

    Seems the hits keep on coming with this machine. The past few times we've gone to replace our magenta ink, the cartridge itself has been so distended that you can barely pull it free from the slot without fear of breaking something. I've tried letting the machine sit for a while to see if it...
  5. L26500 adding extra bottom margin at random

    Don't you just love sporadic issues like that? It hasn't popped out another one, yet, but the week is young!
  6. L26500 adding extra bottom margin at random

    Seems the hits just keep on coming. After struggling with an ink dropoff issue for several weeks (which magically cleared up, thank goodness) this has now popped up. About every 2 or 3 prints the press will add a 4" bottom margin before beginning the print. While it's not a huge issue and that...
  7. HP L260 RIP Choice

    Wish I had a spare box to give Caldera a try on. Been using Onyx 10 for about a year now and while it's not bad, it's not really good, either. I think obtuse is a good way to put it. Vital options buried in menus and a queue system as flexible as an I-beam are the biggest detractors for me...
  8. L25500 Condensation on Printheads

    I've only ever seen this happen on our 26500 after long print runs (8+ hours), but it never threw any codes at us.
  9. Single horizontal band HP25600

    The saga continues... The warranty printhead that HP sent us ended up being bad right out of the box, so they're going to try and schedule a tech to come out and take a look at it and also shipped out a new printhead. The second replacement head should be here today, and I sincerely hope it is...
  10. Single horizontal band HP25600

    All the nozzles but maybe two or three showed up in the test plots. I talked with our supplier and they're going to warranty a new set of printheads for us. Should be coming in today so I'll swap them out and see if the issue persists. If it does I'll look into having a tech come out to check...
  11. Single horizontal band HP25600

    I spent some time Friday observing the press for a bit and compared the edge of an unfinished print (oh how I love jams) to the band and found that the pattern matches up exactly so it appears that the press is, indeed loosing pressure to the printheads, or the printheads themselves are going...
  12. Single horizontal band HP25600

    Gotcha, that's probably why I've never seen it. No errors of that sort, the only one's I've ever encountered were pertaining directly to jams.
  13. Single horizontal band HP25600

    You'll have to explain which piece you're talking about a bit. I'm familiar with most of the jargon but still clueless when it comes to some things and their proper names (well apart from doo-dad and thinger).
  14. Single horizontal band HP25600

    So far it only happens once per print, within the first 12 inches. It's about 1.5" long but varies in its intensity. It ranges from barely noticeable without the use of a loupe to downright obvious like in the photo I posted. It's happened 5 times today so far and seems to be pretty random. It...
  15. Single horizontal band HP25600

    We've just started having this issue with our press. Within the first foot of the print we will get a noticeable horizontal band across the entire width of the print. The printheads appear to be fine as the test plots show that all but one or two nozzles are firing across all 6 heads. I've...
