banding lines

My team is getting banding on most prints from our Epson S40600 about 24-36" after the job starts. A couple of medium or heavy cleanings before run right before a job prevent the banding. I've cleaned the printer with OEM cleaning fluid and polyester swabs, changed the cleaning pad, and...

Hi, I am wondering if it is normal to see the print passes on the graphic when printing from an HP 750. I am currently printing using Indoor Signage in Caldera. I see a slight overlap between each pass. This is mainly noticeable when printing solid colors. It doesn't matter what substrate I am...

Hello, I have noticed off-color banding when printing black on vinyl banners. It looks like this only happens on the edge of the graphic of an 8' print on our 98" wide HP FB750 printer and when printing a black background. Printer: HP FB750 Media: Frontlit Banner Print Resolution: Indoor...

Hi, I always thought that the banding is due to cloged nozzles of magenta Here the head printest for cyan is ok: But I noticed that banding seems to be caused by the cyan printing beyond image here: You see, the ink drops printed beyond the image, the pattern is repeated all the way. And at...

Hello Guys, So we have had our Arizona 480XT for a little over a year and a half now. This printer has been nothing but problems and nigtmares. We were told by Oce to use the IJC-256 ink set, which is more geared towards outdoor signage; in terms of adhesion and such. I recently found out that...

Help! My machine is only printing in black for all of my files.... It will print the test draw in colour an the color check strips in color - just not my files. I have undoubtedly changed a setup function or the like, but cannot figure out what? It was working fine all morning, then,after a...
