I would change the black ink damper, check ink level,, it looks like the head is not laying down enough ink, also head could be going bad..

how does the nozzle test looks like?

Try another black profile. What setting are you printing on ? Prepress ? Try Max Impact ---- Markus

Just put all new inks in the printer. Tried printing from both flexi & versa.


Will try a test print and post a picture.

Will a "POWERFUL" head cleaning hurt the head? When i bought the printer, that is what was suggested not to do.

Thanks

No.

test print. Doesn't look good

when ever you have a printing issue first thing is to see what your test prints look like

looks worse since cleaning.

start with a new damper. Its probably clogged...cleaning is just emptying the head of ink. If you know how, try sucking ink through head from below caps. if its hard to pull, its probably a clogged damper. if you hear sucking noises, its probably bad captop, or head manifold

Cleaning with a cartridge work?

If so are they a tutorial on "how to"

cleaning a with a cleaning cart is a waste of ink. (answering your PM I dont know the method to pull ink in a roland, but perhaps someone can chime in
