I did one test with trailing lamps on Unidirectional and unplugged the second row magenta head and printed 100% magenta. I noticed that some passes were more or less dense than the others. I unplugged the opposite head and printed with similar results.
Is that enough to make you scratch your head?

I am all about quality, we all are at my shop. but we do know the potential of this printer and we have seen it. There are combinations of problems that are causing quality issues where resorting to slower print speeds is the only way to put out a quality product. These issues are being...
I have to learned how to compensate the "washed out color" from printing fast speeds like 360x1080. I usually add in 10% ink through the rip to make up for that. I like to take advantage of the print speed when I have 30 hours of printing on some jobs. Printing faster on jobs that have heat...
Yes, I have seen this. But I was more so getting at using the highest print speed to see the width of the band better. There should be a way to balance out the coverage of the passes.
I have been running this CET FK512X for a year now. I still cannot seem to smooth out my banding. So, I have provided photos of each color with the fastest print speed so you can see the density difference between bands.
As you can see from the photos, The first half of the second pass of...

I had a slightly similar issue last week. Not that drastic, just a light alignment issue only on the origin side of the print bed. I lubed up all of the slides and spiral gears and it improved. It seems like it randomly doesn't home exactly the same on the step alignment. We had one...
This is great news David! Please let me know when your tech will be in town when it gets closer to that time so that I can schedule accordingly.
Thank you. :thumb:
Replacing my first head seemed quite intimidating...It turned out to be cakewalk. I just replaced one the other day for the same reason of the mylar releasing from the bottom of the head. It sure would be nice to be able to repair those.
I know what you mean Artbot, our Epson and Roland solvent roll to roll printers carriage travels only where ink is printed. Not across the entire artboard area. That would be an excellent upgrade to these printers in advantage of print time. It cannot be that hard, I mean they are extremely...

Profiles are a completely new thing to me. I know for a fact that I need to start fresh with brand new profiles. We recently purchased an i9 profiler with pantone bridge. I need to get the guy in here and get this done. It would make more sense to me to have white available no matter...
Here is the thing with that Artbot...It is checked. It is funny that only white ink is the only profile that does that. We spoke with our color profile specialist and he stated that it is just the way it is.
I was able to speed it up by discovering a separate profile called PPS that has white...
I really would like to figure this one out, I have a run of 45 4x8 sheets that have 4 one inch regions of print that should only take about 5 minutes if it would advance. I have to let it print nothing for the entire sheet basically for 35 minutes.
Any help appreciated!

This is the kind of LEDs that have the correct output:

Now, the only question is how to power them, and what kind of circuitry is needed.

This is something I am seriously researching. #artbot...You may want to look into this as well. I want to custom cut a reflective half inch thick clear plexiglass back laminated with a chrome film. I will have holes drilled to fit in...
I do not have any leaks. I feel that I resolved the issue. STATIC! Static from the tons of styrene I have been printing is like yanking the ink out of the heads and the ink spreads around the head causing blockage of the nozzles. That is my theory at the least. Spraying all sheets down with...
What I mean by condense is that it looks like condensation of ink building up around the nozzles to the point that it drags drips across sheets and eventually blocks nozzles from firing to the substrate. Say, if I am printing a sheet with higher densities of ink eventually I will need to pause...
