Pacific Coast Sign, Gorgino has the XC 540. Not sure if that would give any other areas to check. For a while I was thinking too if he had the same unit as the original post.

It looks like there is a bit of banding on all colors shown but the black and LM look the worst. This could be allignment settings for the banding and also the missing nozzles in the two heads make it worse. Now for the ink dropping out after a big area is printed, then that is the ink...

What does your actual test print look like? Are there any missing blocks in the test print on those heads? Normally if you are getting banding caused by allignment, it will be on all the heads and not just on a couple colors. What printer are you using as well?

Thankyou so much, that was it.

Is there a font that would give the symbols for the dictionary pronunciation fonts? It may be faster just making the symbols up but was just wondering. I'm using illustrator, photoshop or flexi.

With these large screen dampers. How do they look different if at all? To order them do they just list them as large screen dampers? Thanks as you are now the second to suggest these new dampers. I will have to look into them soon.

Did you read over the post above a bit, about the clear lines being plugged. Did you check your clear lines and test for a plug?

What are the problems that you are having?

I think this would be in the service menu and if so you would need a key sequence to type in to get to that menu. You might find it in the search. I don't know it off hand.

Thats good to know. All I have ever seen are in my units (and they are old units CJ and FJ) and thus thought they would never fill further. When you talk older machines do you mean older worn dampers can do this or just a more used older printer can do this???

Dampers should be just about 1/2 full and the rest air. To confirm are yours all the way full? If so you might try a new damper and see if it still the same or 1/2 full as would be normal. Also if you can look at a damper, what color oring inside the area that goes to the print head. (ie...

Is the cart empty (have you taken out and felt the weight)? Or is the unit just reading the cart wrong? I know if you unscrew the line that connects to the damper the ink will run back into the cart. But to have the ink run out into the drain bottle.... not sure how it would. When...

No the waste ink bottle should not fill that quick unless you are doing a strong cleaning. The is dumps all the ink in the lines and refills (a big waste). Just do the regular cleanings. I might have a 1/4 of the bottle filled and its been a few months.

With the main power on but the front pannel is off. Press up,left,right, down (kind of like a S shape) Then left,down,right (like a V shape) Then hold the left,down,right (V shape again) all down together and press the front pannel power on. You might get a service menu protected a few times...

Again if it's anything like mine you should get more than bubbles. The last run of the pump usually spits out a bit of a stream from each drain hose. So you might have somthing not sealing right. Do a couple cleanings first. If they don't get better as you go then look for something else...

Was it the same file you printed as well or a totaly different file? If it was just in the white space between the prints then I would think it might be more file related.

It might be just plugged drain lines. If you can see where the line connects to the capping station from the pump, you can disconnect each one and push some cleaning solution through with a syringe. Not 100% sure what the Sp300 looks like for setup compared to mine but should be similar.

:goodpost::goodpost: cptcorn just said what I've been trying to use to figure what my sell should be on lower priced media and high priced media. This is the way to price things. A job should be the same price to print and apply Using the cheap stuff or the Highest priced stuff. Price the...

Mainly for speed. The more the head travel the longer the print takes. Interesting on the old CJ 500 the head only travels as far as the printed area of the print. If you have just a hair line on the left of the print it only goes to that spot until it needs to go further to print an image...

This might be your best option to look at. It is solvent and 54" and can cut as well. You can use a USB to serial cable to run them, they can print nice quality, but you will also need a good rip to run it. That again is big $$. Print speed is slow but not the end of the world. To look at...
