Solid blue prints always prints with streaks

#1 projects.shansign8014 a month ago

Hi, I have had a problem for a while and I can't seem to find the solution. Every time I do a solid blue print there are always white streaks marks of the side of the print and always on the docking station side. I have replaced heads, I have cleaned everything to the point this machine is cleaner than when i bought it, replaced pip sensors, changed substrate and still the problem persists. The strange part is it only appears on blue prints, I do a lot of solid red, greens, graphics etc, but the problem only appears on solid blue. I replaced both of the heads when I first saw the problem and since change all my other heads. Any ideas n what to do next would be appreciated.

Hi @projects.shansign8014,

Depending on whether the white band is vertical or horizontal, here is the troubleshooting:

If the Banding is horizontal:

  • Check the Maintenance cartridge. Check that the cloth is not wrinkled and it is advancing properly.

  • If you print the nozzle check is it reporting nozzle out? Please check the drop detector/ reset the drop detector.

If the banding is vertical :

  • Check and clean the pinch wheels.

  • If you move the image to the left side are the white marks appearing? Please check this workaround just to check is could be a hardware issue.

  • Try reducing the vacuum.

  • Decrease the drying airflow.

If after these suggestions the issue is not fixed, contact your support representative.
