Sorry about the lack of correspondence, I greatly appreciate the responses from you all. Long story short-- we got a tech out to look at the machine and ended up replacing the cyan printhead. Shortly after, someone contacted me via message and said they were having a similar problem that was...

Hello, This is the second post I have made about a problem that I have had with the Arizona 460 at work. We are having issues with the cyan channel. The only way we can get an acceptable print with lots of cyan is to print in one direction with an end of swath delay of 5. If we print too fast...

This gave us a small increase in quality, thank you for the heads up on that. Currently, the heads are holding ink much better now that the res tanks are all new. The new issue is that the black channel is flowing into the little printhead filters. Going to take it apart then reinstall it hoping...

Thanks for all of the responses and help. At this point I am hoping that changing the res tanks make the problem goes away. Update: The nozzle check on cyan has gone from one misfiring nozzle when this issue began last week to so many that I cannot count. Performed Purge-Flush with Swab-Purge...

Would you mind me asking how I could do this? Would it allow the supply to replenish before jetting or is it something that will help me to visually indicate a problem? We are ordering new reservoirs to replace the rest today. Thank you for the information about the line pressure manifesting...

We only had 2 reservoirs available so I replaced the Cyan and Magenta but was forced to reuse old connectors. It is still giving me the same issue after swapping them out. Cyan prints well for approximately 5 inches before banding. It seems like the printhead is either clogging or the ink is not...

We ordered new ink filters since we are one month from needing the service, after that we are going to replace all reservoirs. One thing that I have found is the red connector on the magenta reservoir does not tighten down (just keeps rotating). I am tempted to swap the cyan and magenta tanks...

Heres a couple photos of the nozzle check right after the banding starts. I switched the printhead filters and we are about to order some ink filters to see if that helps. We are about a month and a half away from needing that service so hopefully that is all that is needed. Also, one error that...

Here are some photos I took when I opened the carriage. First, what does the yellow indicator light actually indicate (should it be on or off). Secondly, the reservoir tanks seem to be seeping with ink from the seems of the plastic tanks. Is this a cause for replacing the ones that have ink...

Thank you for the response, are the printhead filters something that I should replace or are they something that can be cleaned?

Attached are three photos of the print. The first one is of the start of the print and the other two are the last section where banding gets much more severe. All inks were agitated with their filters bled, printheads swabbed and maintenance done within 5 minutes of the job starting. I have not...

Arizona 460 recently started to band when making light cyan. Print starts out at acceptable quality then progressively gets worse. Nozzle check was clean, bled ink filters, swabbed printheads, cleaned substrate and also wiped it down with antistatic and got the same result 4 times. Does anyone...
