HP L26500 color shift within same job.

[milchad]

I visited a print shop the other week and he likes his L26500 but doesn't love it. The main issue he has is that when printing large jobs (like a 53' trailer) the last panel on the trailer looks like it has a bit of color shift from the 1st one. Is this a common issue with HP latex printers?

O dont have that problem and I print many rolls.

sound like a head problem that made the problem. Sometimes the heads can fail and stop dropping ink in the middle of a print.

Tell them to print a color bar.. it keeps every head firing on all the passes..helps with consistency.

I print 200' rolls of paper overnight all the time. Last print looks exactly the same as the first. Color bars/gutters help, but having the coolest temp possible is key to heads not dropping out during long runs.
