Still having this issue, tech was not much help at all.

I've replaced the linear strip,the linear sensor & the board that the cables & print heads run into.

Still getting the same print, if i use "high quality" it helps quite a bit but not perfect..

Any other suggestions?

This "overspray" issue is static problem, as was mentioned before. Never seen answer to the question about humidity level? 40 is bare minimum, but 50 would be better. Also, you can buy anti static kit from your Roland Dealer, i believe it costs around 180ish.

Just for grins and giggles, try running another print job.... but wipe down the material with rubbing alcohol before running it.

48 humidity.

would the static cause the banding also?

seems like it gets worse more towards the end of the print.

I have no idea what the roland anti static kit is, but when there is static using the offset presses, we use anti static tinsel. Never used it on the Roland but could be worth a try? $20 price range.

It's not the dampers. All of your prints look like they are slightly banding from what I see...so do a high quality print.
On the black overspray, I'm with the folks who thinks it's static.

Clogged dampers can cause banding. It did in mine. As well as static. I got new dampers, no banding, no static.

I am not saying it is the case here, but it might be.

Another clue is at regular speed, banding. High quality, no banding. Mine the damper wouldn't let enough ink pass through so I got banding at standard. High quality slowed it down, so the damper could keep up to the ink flow.

What about the fill test? Be useful to know if all channels are behaving the same. I'd also double check the heads for lint. I've run into problems where it took 3 manual cleans to find a piece of fuzz hanging off. It's dark down there and you're looking for things that don't reflect a lot of light.

In the service menu there's probably a line for test pattern (or something similar). Inside that will be fill test. I'm not sure what the rules are for telling people how to get into service mode so you might be on your own there. If that's a problem then just create a file with four 2"x50" strips of 100% each CMYK and send that. The service mode fill test is preferable since it's generated from the firmware thus removing the software from the equation, but in this case that should still tell you something.

This test is really good, you see on the right and left edge, whitch colors have an overspray. In the most cases the printhead
with this color has reached the and of life!
