I appreciate all the suggestions and have been messing around with these settings and have figured out what is going on. Now that I know I can work it out from there and see what gets the best results. I had thought it was from a mechanical issue with the printer for the longest time. It’s...

I will try the adding noise to the gradient and then trying as a pdf as well

So I have posted a few times about this wrap that I have done several times and truthfully I’m still very new to printing vehicle graphics but since I do this job so often and print it so often I always see something new that bothers me or I would like to fix. Good learning experience I guess...

I’m learning that most problems just come down to a new print head. I have one on the way at the moment so will find out tomorrow if that is the solution.

Well I pulled the black print head apart and gave the manifold a “pressure” test with a syringe and it was not cracked. Put it back in and still missing whole side.

I do have an old print head that I can grab the manifold off of. I don't throw anything away. lol. I will check that and then I am ordering a new print head the the light cyan to see if that fixes the original problem.

So this is the result and of course now I’m missing one side of my black head.

oh yes, I had pulled the cyan dampers off to pull ink through them thinking it was the cyan channel and that was right after I did that. The cyan is printing fine with the test print. I will print the fill test and see what it shows.

So I was able to run a test print in service mode and this showed up on the more detail print. The light cyan has two missing areas. Why does this not show up on a regular test print. Could this be the problem?

I have taken a syringe and pulled ink through the print head from the cap top tubing. This head is a new head with new dampers as of a month ago.

I did make sure all cartridges had ink. I looked at the dampers and they seem to be about 1/3 full on the cyan channel but do have ink in them

It is an xc-540.

So I have printed multiple van wraps of this same design so the file I have has been used and has worked well. I printed one run for the first van which was fine. Then a few days later went to print the second van and the gradient started to shift from blue to magenta. Test print is fine...

So I have been having another issue about missing half a head and while working on this issue I noticed a huge amount of ink everywhere around the capping station. On all the surfaces around it, and a lot of it. There is usually some light mist that I can easily wipe off when I do weekly...

So I got a syringe and was able to pull ink through the line and damper. Was able to pull through the cap top and I also (not sure if it was a good idea) but I lightly pushed some solvent through the print head from the manifold on both sides of the head. I also swapped dampers and after all...

Thank you, I will try this today and see what I come up with. I am always to nervous to work on this printer because I feel like everything is so delicate and I don't want to make anything worse then what it is.

I am going to grab a larger syringe because all I have on had is a 10 ml and try and get the air out of that line. Once I do that I will see where that leads me, hopefully the head comes back and then I can investigate into why there wasn't ink in there. In the mean time I can get some parts...

So I have a Roland xc-540 and it doesn't get used a ton but does gets used and I do keep up on maintenance. I hadn't been used in a few weeks and went to run a print and the test print showed the whole left side of the cyan print head was missing. There wasn't any ink what so ever on that...

I am using versaworks and am not familiar with this setting. Can I ask what the purpose of this?

I have a Roland xc-540, and I am getting a color change in this blue on the last panel. The whole thing is ran at once, but the blue hue changes a little bit. It is the last panel on the run.
