banding

Hi everyone this is my first post :). I've got a Latex L26500 (yes i know it's old but it is still working good) that do horizontal banding when I print vector text (i attach you an image). This happens also when i put vector text on image. I'm using Flexi Sign 21 rip software. If anyone could...

I had a tech come on Friday because I was getting bad banding and black heads not firing. He replaced the head a and the nozzle check looks bad and it still prints terrible.Looks like my optimizer channel is not functional too. He’s coming back on Monday but I’m afraid he may not know what he’s...

Hello, I have cleaned the encoder strip, run ALL alignments, done the cleanings etc. When I print, I have a "shadow" to the left of the letters. When I ran the media gap adjustment, there are 4....The number 1 H1 & H2 printed with the shadow, but the others did not. Also when running the...

Every time I print solid colors on Ultraboard I get banding. Has anyone else had this problem? It's hard to see in the pictures, but very noticeable in person.

I have a Roland SG300 The Magenta began banding one day after a series of prints heavy on solid red coloring. I changed out the printer head, Brand new damper, brand new Caps. Checked all the lines for kinks or air gaps ect... Everything seems fine, though I did notice that the diaphragm on...

I have been using Roland printers for several years now and I have, just recently, run into a banding issue that is focused on the cyan inks. I have run several cleanings from normal to powerful, have done manual maintenance cleaning both sides of the printer, and it is still giving me a hard...

Hey everyone wondering if anyone has seen this before. It's a Mimaki UJV55-320. As you can see in the picture below we keep having this problem of the feed compensation going in and out over a period of 200mm. Doesn't matter what media is printed on or if it's on heavy load roll holders or...

Have a K2-1000L CET flatbed printer that has intermittent banding and nozzle fallout. I think that the issue is because the printer is exposed to too much fluctuation in temperature and humidity. It is basically in a small warehouse adjacent to a garage door that exposes it to the outside...

HP 315 latex 54" printer. I’m having banding issues with my HP 315 It started happening on a few recent prints, I ran cleanings, alignment, test plots, nozzle tests, and color calibrations. All seemed normal. I printed solid CMYK squares and they printed with very little banding. So I...

We've been having this issue on our Roland VG-540 for some time, and also with our new VG-2 pretty much right out the box. These big thick horizantal bands that will appear sometimes just once on a print, sometimes a few times, but always at a random spot. This issue comes and goes...

Our pretty new Roland VG-2 just started printing these little "halo's" along the outside edges of the prints. The feed calibration and media gap adjustment (bi-directional) are all calibrated. Nozzle tests are good. The user manual doesn't suggest much beyond those two adjustments. Any insights...

Hello Everyone. New member and solvent printer owner. I have a used machine. Seiko V64s colourpainter. My issue is the print starts off fine, but as larger prints are being run, the banding increases as well. Not darker banding but lighter. I have paused the printhead at intervals after which it...

Hello everyone, im an apprentice and still have a lot to learn about wide format. And i was hoping any of you in here might know what is going on here, because we havent been able to solve it. This is about a UJV55 mimaki wide format printer Recently in the production we’ve been having an...

Hi All! I ran into a recent issue while trying to print a very dark grey. This color is specific to our customer and is the only color I am having issues with. I have tried creating a duplicate color swatch in InDesign and have tried saving it in different PDF formats and using different...

Hi all, In the last few days, my machine has been banding all types of blue--mainly light blue "cyan" as-well as dark blue. I have tried both CMYK colors and Roland colors. So far I have done: Nozzle tests Medium Cleaning Manual Cleaning Media Gap Adjustment Calibration Drained Wiper Tray...

I refuse to give up on my printer. I really can't afford a new one at this time. I previously posted my issues with my print head. I figured it was my expired ink... Switched them all out for new. Since then, my pink colors are coming in vibrant. Zero complaints. I just can't catch a break with...

Title is my issue... I replaced the Magenta-Yellow print heads in my HP DesignJet z6810 on Tuesday, and it seems like since then, when I print anything from our normal Onyx RIP, no settings having been changed, the front 1" or so will be a lighter color than the rest of the print. In darker...

Good Morning, Do you use a different profile for each type of media you print on? Do you have any across-the-board profile types you recommend for optimal printing? Could different profiles be the answer to color specific banding? Have you found that generic (or random) profiles deliver...

Been having some banding issues on the Roland TrueVis Vg-540. Today when calibrating the machine, the correct setting was a moving target. it was set to ten, which had a little overlap. Twenty looked good so i dialed it up. Next test print, twenty had a little gap and ten looked right. Set it...

About 2 years ago i was hired and the company bought a truevis vg-540 to replace the soljet xc-540 as our primary machine. The soljet is about ten years old and has issues now, but the way the boss tells it, this machine has been incredibly reliable and easy to use getting great results with...
