I'm looking for individuals that own HP 9000 printers. Or a techician out there that does regularly work on them. I'm a technician on the printers and I have an issue with one of them that I think I know the issue. This printer is printing horizonal line 6 to 12 in. in length to the right of the printer. Toward the wiping station, not the capping station. Via the 64 in. platen printing area. Standing in front of the printer looking 35 to 40 in. way from the capping station. There a small area to the right that is printing horizonal. I think it the encoder strip., one other technician stated it was the vibration of the carriage when it stop and coming back to the capping station, possible bad rollers. But the carriage seem tight and there visual damage. Or the encoder strip sensor is dirty. Possibly with lint or dirt. Anyone come across this, these are not vertical banding lines like a media feed issue or bad nozzle checks but a horizonal line coming at you if you are standing in front of the printer. I'm sure someone else out there has seen this and figured it out.
