Get a system report and nozzle print test. Then post the test print here.

That looks more like the front end of a truck then a Roland printer.

Oh, I get it now..... that's the print. I don't see any lines. Get it..... I can't see any imperfections from my house. ​

if your not buying new, then this is about as good as your gonna get. new heads are always in the horizon when you start printing, so don't worry about it. use it as a reason to chew them down even further....

the real question is are you gonna make money with this or is it 'somethiing i always wanted' or 'wanted to get into' or 'can expand our offering' so on and so forth....

if you got the cash and can make cash with it, get it. if you want it just to have one, think about it some more.....

...yeah, what he said...and the lines may be as simple as a feed problem relating to media and profile selection

Are you talking about the splotchy part in the top left? Otherwise i don't see any lines either

 

[exclusivedesigns90]

well we have printed other pics and rest of colors look sharp its just the black that has some thin lines; but i guess its quality of pic

i hope i should be ok; thanks for all your help it seems no one is watching something they dont like; so that is a good thing

thanks guys

Have a tech look at the history report, show a test print (this may show the scratches on the head in the service test print). Either way, figure about $1,000 to replace the head with labor and a good general service/alignment for the printer.
