Falcon OD Junior Question

[Rat_Fink]

I was wondering how wide the junior prints in each pass of the printhead.

When I do a nozzle check - it prints approx ½" thick band in each pass, but when I print from my rip (flexi 7.6) it seems that it only prints approx .125" in each pass.
Is this normal - if not what should I check?

I never really compared the 2 before now.

Thanks

This is completely normal. Multiple passes are virtually always used in inkjet printing, in an effort to hide banding artifacts. For example, 4-pass printing means that the printhead(s) make 4 passes over a given position, 8-pass printing would be roughly half of the speed of 4-pass printing (at the same resolution). That is a gross over simplification, but it should get the idea across.
