Need Help Streaks of lighter color for solid background on HP Latex 260 Printer

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hello, I am seeing a consistent lighter streak that is supposed to be a solid color. The streaks are vertical so I don't think this is a banding issue.

Printer: HP Latex 260
RIP Program: Caldera 11
Media Type: Seal SolvoPrint Easy Dot

Vacuum, tension and airflow should be lowered for initial testing. Then try drying heat if that doesn’t work.

this is a common issue. Usually we just increasing the passes to get rid of that.

The 1st two responses are probably correct, however, I used to get vertical lines just like that when I had air in my ink lines.
