Hi can someone help I am printing in billboard mode and getting lines in all colours as the first and second picture shows.

I also tried all calibration, adjust bi-dir and Test print, Calibration has lines all over but looks to be correct in the box distance and test print has a line half way see pictures below.

I have tried a normal clean, medium clean and different files.

Please helppppp

Your Calibration is off.....when boxes overlap you get you dark banding. When the boxes are apart, you get white banding.

Increase the Media Feed Calibration value. Thicker media like banner vinyl need a larger distance.

Sorry I can't see how calibration is off as the left box has a little white between the boxes and the right box has a dark overlapping band.

Billboard mode is kind of a pain to get the feed speed corrected, but once you get it, you'll have to keep an eye on it.

Here is my easy (hard) way to do it.

take a full width by at least 12 inches deep print and use it as your test.

Take a look at your machine, and the software settings for feed speed, and write them down.
Print the image.
If dark banding, then increase feed, if white banding, decrease feed.
Make 1 incremental adjustment to the machine. Write it down
print the image.
If needed, then make 1 incremental adjustment in software. write it down.
Print the image.

Repeat as needed until you fix the banding.

I write down the adjustments so I can keep track of what I have done.

Hope you get the idea on how to adjust.
