Need Help Pixelation occurs when printer starts

Hard to tell since you show a small sample of the whole print. It looks like this is a very low pass....like 4 or 6 pass? Whenever there is very small text, I run a 12 or even 16 pass. I've never seen anything get pixelated on only the beginning of or only a portion of a whole print. It's either all or none.

 

Hi I am also having difficulty trying to figure this one out. We have many of the 360's and all other latex units. Where are you located? If too far, maybe trade it in on another 360? Just an idea. I am sure if we had it, we'd be able to figure out the issue. We've only worked on about 2500 Hp Latex units. Lol thanks, www.Wideimagesolutions.com

 

the print looks like its out of registration. How old is unit? Have you refiled the carriage rail oiler? Is the rail oiled? What about the ad on the left side of the carriage? If the problem goes away, it could just be the carriage getting itself moving in dirty conditions.

 

This is because of the vacuum, after loading media advance it a little bit untill it covers all the platten area, better till it starts to show coming out from the dryer, then start print and all this will be history.

 

I sometimes get this on my Roland on the first print of the day.
Ended up creating a colour bar strip around 15mm squares for each cmyk colour and repeated this for the entire length of the media width. Will always will print this strip first on any media for the first print of the day.

 

That's a smart method to overcome this issue.
