banding

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...

Hey y'all, I've been having issues with a Roland TrueVis VG-540. I keep seeing these nasty banding lines, that will appear exclusively on certain parts of the graphic. Everything in a large logo will look great, but all the green parts will be banded. Sometimes all the grey parts. It doesn't...

Hello friends... I am using my Roland XR-640 eco-solvent printer to produce vehicle graphics printed on Avery 1105 media. When I print full color we get excellent prints, but I am trying to print a black and white wrap and most of my prints are getting horrible banding, only in black. I am...

Hi, I’m experiencing some banding issues on my Latex 260. Substrate is HP Vinyl Adhesive— using Sai RIP I have completed a print head cleaning and let the printer warm up with several prints for an hour. Printheads have been replaced recently and calibration performed. I’ve attempted to change...

I am running some sample prints on our Arizona 480XT UV Printer on Lintec E-2100ZC-61 material. We are running Colour/White/Colour and we are getting what we call gradation banding where the gradient starts to transition from solid to clear. The file is made in illustrator and its ripped...

hi All, im hoping someone can help or advise. we have had a couple of engineers out and still have the same issue. one of the cyan heads has been replaced so we know it isn't that. i have attached a few images of some 100% cyan tests ive recently ran on the flatbed and the RMO. i have also...

Good evening everyone i need a little help with my machine. I have had the machine since which is going on a year. I have never had an issue with the machine until now. It has preformed flawlessly since I have owned it. Great print quality, speed, and color! However, about a week ago I've been...

Hi Guys, I am having problems with my Roland XF-640 EcoSol. I recently changed the "B" head to a brand new head. Attached is a picture of the nozzle test as well as the print. Ripping through VersaWorks with Generic Banner Profile on HighSpeed Mode - printing on PVC. My calibration is set...

We have 2 JV150-160 Printers and one of them, the older of the two, has started having issues with a faint banding. We've tried everything that I know of to fix it and have had no luck. I've played with the feed comp, head height, heat. All with little to no change. We've tried it on IJ180CV-3...

Hey there, did anyone come past a similar problem? Talked several times with support and had the tech from japan here no luck, and to be honest communication with mimaki germany is a major disaster right now. banding patterns still prevail. Unidirectional / Bidirektional / ILL / MFD1 no...

Hey Guys I am struggling with vertical banding and initial dark patches on canvas prints. I have a HP Latex l26500. Settings are in the image below along with some examples of the banding. Sometimes there is a much darker patch (when on high ink) at the first 200mm approx of the print, shows...

Hello everyone, I have recently purchased a used Roland SP540V. This is the first print and cut printer that I have used coming from a cheap chinese vinyl cutter/plotter. I haven't yet manually cleaned the printheads and printer itself yet but have ran a few powerful clean tests. The nozzle...

Not sure why this happens on printers. It is really noticeable on this polyester material, but I've seen it on all vinyls. I had a Pro II in the past do this as well. It's not your typical banding issue, and always happens towards one side of the printer (furthest from where the heads rest by...

I am having an issue with Flexi 11 profiles for a Mimaki jv33-160 (SS21 inks) and horizontal banding with IJ180 cv3 and sv480 mc media. I either get great color but horizontal banding and/or pixellation, or no banding and/or pixellation but color is off. It isn't a feed compensation issue, I've...

Trying to print a bunch of posters with a gray gradient background. The image file is a jpg ripped as an EPS out of flexi. The gray gradient background keeps making this strange blotchy color pattern. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
