Roland Sp 300v Black Printing Fuzzy

[toneanddesign]

I recently replaced my cap tops and dampers cleaned the encoder strip ect.. but still having troubles. I guess I'm just looking for any other recommendations. Had a little trouble with the small rings inside the brass nuts going to the dampers but I think I got them.
Thanks,
Matt

Not wanting to freak you out but we had a problem very similar which required a new head. The engineer referred to it as "nozzle deflection". He believed it to have been caused by head strikes!

Yea that's what I was afraid of but might just be the case.

I see you've also some deflection in your yellow. If you look carefully you'll see a "blip" in the pattern in the second row from the right :-( I've that as well but thankfully can't be seen in the prints

You should replace those o-rings too. They're not really supposed to be reused in any application. Looks like a bad head to me too, way worse than mine was when we changed it. Easy to do.

Easy to do, I like to hear that.

I've owned 4 Roland printers and this is a classic scenario for a new print head especially if you've already done a manual clean and a powerful clean. Sorry I know it's a real expense bummer!
