R2000 plus w/WHITE printing fuzzy

[Think713]

So I'm having what appears to be either some kind of print head issue, or registration issue not sure... There are parts of this test print that are nice n tight with the registration while some of the left/right registration appears to be fuzzy. Not sure how to begin to trouble shoot this. I've cleaned the printheads and I'm going to do another alignment, but if there is something else I may be missing I'm def open ears....

Is the fuzziness in the axis direction of the head sweep? If it is I'd say your head height was too high. If not an alignment should fix that. Anything in the X-axis sweep of the head being too high is likely misaligning because of the bidirectional printing not lining up from an improper height value.

What would cause that if it was a height issue? I did do an alignment and it looks pretty bad so not sure how it even got like this... But assuming there was a height issue, how do I address that? (BTW these piece that this is tested on are at the max 2" height the printer will allow)

And yes it is in the direction of the carriage sweep. The odd thing about it is after a print head cleaning, the side in which the fuzziness occurred changed... which doesnt make any sense to me...

What kinda material is that? Is it deformed to different height on different spots?
When you load that, make sure you load in the middle, or so that the alignment bar measures correctly and doesn't sag on the other side.

its funny you mention that, it was doing that... and when i moved its location more to the middle it was having trouble even seeing it... its 2" acrylic... the masking is still on it so i wasnt just wasting super expensive material...

So what we ended up doing was just printing on some optically clear vinyl and the quality is near perfect... I suspect the height of the carriage may have been the culprit here... BUT now I have another issue... and I will carry this issue over to another thread as its off topic from this one...
