Cyan printing off

[Ian Schofield]

Hello All,
I'm using a roland printer and have had this problem for a little
while however it seems to have gotten worse. My cyan ink is printing about 1/8" off from the rest of the colors, almost like an overspray.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be, my test print seems to be fine
however to be honest i wouldn't know if it was bad.

Thanks
Ian

solvent ink? do you run Lyson ink?

I'm running a Roland sc-545ex using Eco-sol max inks.

Thanks

hmmm. we spent a ton of cash chasing a similar problem on our mimaki and it just ended up being a bad lot of cyan ink. for a cheap starter, i'd switch in a new cartrige and do 4 ink fills to flush the lines and see if anyhting changes.

looks more like the printer head is in need of alignment i've had a similar problem when the head shifted realigned and it was fine granted it took several hours to do this
