You'd be able to see that in versaworks... check the print size and make sure it corresponds with how big the graphic should be. Also, check page spacing. Maybe you accidentally set that to a high number?

No, it does that on my machines too, and I do not install tapered rollers. I only use inner ones, and my wrinkles also go away when you feed back and forth.

I knew this, but to this day I can't understand how that functions. How does a tapered roller accomplish outward pull?

I can turn my vacuum right off on any one of my Rolands, and it doesn't cause wrinkles. Where did you get your pinch rollers from? It is possible for new ones to fail. They have bearings that can become dislodged. I'd be taking those off and looking at them.

What does the "Sol" in Soljet mean? Doesn't it stand for solvent? And there's no door on the front of the machine? Maybe there's no print carriage. What if it's a horizontal head? Like a memjet?

Okay, so it should not do that with NO heat... my original thought was correct. There is something mechanically wrong. Either pinch rollers, grit rollers or possibly clogged vacuum holes of fan.

Wow... that sure is... very red.

One time, I needed my printer *immediately* and it did this exact thing to me. I didn't have time to wait, so I figured out where the problem was, and located the precise breaking point inside one of the tiny strands in the data cable (by testing each strand for continuity and then inspecting...

Yep.

<sigh>... Okay, search these forums for the word "shrinkage". You'll find hundreds of posts about it. Yes, there are work-arounds, like printing on specific materials, letting it sit for a day, and printing less ink (lower quality colors). But come on, let's not pretend the problem doesn't...

I... do not see fuses :( Although, a likely thing to cause your problems is transistors. Those are the black things along the right side. They're attached to the big heat sinks and the have three prongs each. Make sure you read the type printed on each one. Any that have the same type...

I say go for it... take a pic :)

Seriously?

Yeah, Kent fixed my head board on my LEC-300. I'm about to send him my SP-300i main board too. He knows what he's doing. Send him the board and he and Tom will fix it up for you.

I agree it could also be a vacuum issue. I forgot this has happened to me as well. All I did was unclog several of the tiny vacuum holes on the platen and it fixed the problem. Can't comment on heating issues... never had a problem like that.

No, no... it's not the fuse. He's pulling from the capping side and getting nothing. A fuse doesn't stop ink from filling a syringe. I've had this happen to me several times. Every one of those heads is now in the trash. There is something physical that can go wrong when you clean too...

Got my service manual. Thanks!

Ah, okay. Happens to me all the time. It's a mechanical issue, though. Either you need to replace your pinch rollers, or you need to clean your grit rollers. Firstly, stop printing. You can diagnose this by simply using your arrow keys to feed the media back and forth. You should see...

Isn't it safe to say the vertical pattern is being caused by printing on those wrinkles? Just want to clarify... you're just trying to solve the issue of the wrinkles forming, yes? Or am I missing something?

Let's rule out heating issues. Turn your heater and dryer heat down to zero and try some test prints. I'd want to know if that pattern completely goes away.
