Roland Vp540I Streaking

[tintwizz]

Can someone tell me what is causing this? I was leaning toward the Encoder Strip but would like to make sure before I tear it apart and it be something else. Thanks

Is your head height up? Have you checked the area around your heads? I've seen some fuzzle around the base of the heads do something similar but not quite that extreme.

Just trying to throw out some easy things from first glance.

 

[tintwizz]

I have tried up and down and I have cleaned around all 4 of my heads and have inspected with a light and dont see any fuzzies. I am baffled.

Could be static on the material. Or you may have to wipe down the encoder strip.

 

[tintwizz]

Just did the Encoder Strip. Praying.

 

[tintwizz]

Here is a Test print. Dont know what happen wasn't doing this on Friday.

 

[Ragnabrok]

Gyuh, center of that magenta head is a huge wave, also a decent amount of missing nozzles.

thats overspray on the print, too small to be static, more likely deflection from the print head (see the wave). If that's an old head, not much to do about it.

This could be an alignment issue. Another could be some nozzle heads are damaged. I've had this before, I had the printhead replaced and realigned and it fixed it.

Hate to say it but when we saw that on our VP540 it was the black head going, going, gone....
