This appears to be ink coalescence that is occurring. It is more difficult to control the media temperature on the edges of the printer platens than toward the center, due to air flow and other considerations. When the edges of the print media are cooler in the print zone than the center, ink...

As prior posters have stated, there are a lot of textile options for latex inks. Berger, Fisher, Aberdeen, Aurora (and more) are all reputable sources for latex ink-compatible fabrics.

I have not seen this error before, but I would take the following steps: 1. perform a cold boot of the printer 2. perform a cold boot of the computer with Onyx loaded. 3. ensure that no anti-virus program is actively running on the RIP computer 4. ensure that no other ICC profile software is...

The on-board color instrument needs to be loaded from the Media Manager application, not from RIP-Queue. From Media Manager, click Configure Devices > Configure Color Sampling Devices > HP L26500. Note that the on-board i1 device can be used for recalibrating a media (new linearization), but not...

It depends on the RIP that you are using. For example. in the case of Onyx, it would be found in the Media Manager > Media Library > Media / Mode > Edit button (among other ways to get there). In the case of SAi, as I recall, it is in the Production Manager module.

What you are describing is a scaling issue, and not related to media skew. For example, many PVC banner materials are physically thicker than paper, for example. This means that each rotation of the media feed drum causes more physical movement for banner media than paper (sort of like snow...

I too am not interested in an argument with you, or anyone else for that matter. My experience in supporting large-format print service providers (over 22 years at this point) tells me that the only reliable way around White Banding to print using higher pass counts to better hide the effect...

Skew refers to lateral (sideways) movement of the media across the width of the printer platen. It has nothing to do with the size of the printed output. The firmware default value for skew is 3.0mm per 1 meter of media travel (on the x-axis). I can't imagine why someone would need to adjust...

Sorry for my not being clear in my prior post in this thread; I was referring to issues with printers that use DX4 printheads, my comment was not relevant to your Vutek machine. Cheers!

This is a long-standing issue, called White Banding. It is not related to feed calibration, as this issue is essentially random and not consistent throughout the print. Search White Banding and you will find years worth of posts that discuss it, without any definitive resolutions that work in...

It is very simple to test whether or not your ICC is responsible for the color cast. Print your reference test image with color management disabled in VW (Density Control Only), and then again with your ICC applied. If the cast appears with color management in use, then your ICC is responsible...

The HP PVC Free Wallpaper product is very easy to install, as well as de-install. Getting the media wet in each case causes the adhesive to activate / release. The only problem is that it is a latex ink only media, and does not contain the top coating needed to be printed with eco-solvent inks...

The last thing that I would advocate is to sell output for that price. The original poster was inquiring about media that he could print on to satisfy price-conscious customers. I gave him information on the least costly media options for two widely-used inksets used in sign production on a...

The least expensive solvent-compatible media I know of is paper at around 10 cents per square foot. Latex ink printers can print on uncoated bond paper, and I have successfully profiled and printed on this class of paper (2 cents per square foot) with the L26500.

What media (brand / product number) are you printing onto? Secondly, what Media Profile are you using when this problem occurs?

The place to start is with the Nozzle Test print, that is accessed from the Roland's control panel. That print will demonstrate the nozzle performance for all of the colors, with each line of ink representing one nozzle. You are looking for a pattern that is consistent, with no gaps in the...

Obviously, your cyan channel is missing the majority of the nozzles. The first step is to attempt a couple of normal cleanings, to see if they can be recovered in that manner. If they do no come back, I would: 1. Replace the four cap tops if they are more than 1 year old. Then run additional...

I have not been made aware of any changes to the warranty period on the HP L2 print heads (series 789 or 792) in the USA. The warranty is use-based, and is 1,000 ml (1 liter) of ink per print head. At that point the head goes out of warranty, but does not necessitate the replacement of the head...

That is light print volume. I'd guess some on this site print that much over the span of several months.

In a word, NO
