Replacement Head Print Resolution

[gamerxr72]

My boss recently replaced a DX5 Solvent Head on one of our VJ1604 printers.

The new head seems to have a gold plate on it instead of a silver plate like the original.

The print quality on the new head while good, is not as good as the original. It looks like someone added a faint noise filter to the artwork on everything it prints. It's nothing you'd notice from 3 feet away, but it's there.

Do you think this is just how the new head is, or is this some kind of calibration problem?

That head with the gold coloring is the Epson DX5 head designed for the Model R1900 desktop printer. Shoot me a PM for more details

Is that the wrong head? Will the R2400 head work?

After some hours of calibration, the new print head with the gold plate prints better than the one we replaced did. The print quality is now excellent. It has been at least two weeks since then and there have been no problems.
