  9. Technical/Repair question re: color deviation SoljetPro SC-540

    i clean my encoder weekly i believe since we use 3rd party inks, there is a little more "misting" so more vapor settles on the encoder strip. when you cleaned yours, was it dirty? when mine needs cleaning, the edges aren't square (assuming i am printing a square) the straight edge, in the...
