Double Printing?

[FastStickers]

I am having issues with my Epson SureColor S80600. I purchased this machine from a refurbishing company (I have a different refurbished S80600 that functions perfectly) a few weeks ago. Ever since it arrived it has been printing all stickers blurry and out of focus. It looks like the images are being printed twice over, but I am not certain. Has anyone else seen this issue before? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Could it be the encoder strip ?? Looks like it's stepping.

Looks like your S80600 has a dual cmyk setup and the printheads are not aligned. Nothing wrong with your printer it just needs calibration

+1 on head alignments.

head alignment, specifically bi-directional calibration. The double image effect is most likely from ink laid in one direction not lining up to ink in the laid in the other

Thanks, folks.

It has 9 colors currently installed including white, rather than CMYK x2. Does this change your thoughts on it? I'm going to take a look at the bi-directional calibration now and see what I can figure out. Will keep you posted.

There are two 10 channel heads in the S80600... all colours are duplicated across both heads. A nozzle test print will show this.
Calibration comments above should still be accurate.

Thanks for the update on that. That is good to know. I ran the "auto" calibration functions on the machine, and it didn't make a difference. I'm going to try the manual calibration settings in the morning and hope that works!
