If you notice that your print quality is uneven, too light, too
dark, or there are vertical or horizontal lines in the print
(banding), try these solutions:
- Run a nozzle
check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then
clean the printhead, if necessary.
- Align the
printhead.
- If print results appear grainy or blurry, or have horizontal
banding, tint unevenness, or stripes, perform Print Head Alignment and Media Feed Adjustment for the media being
used.
- Raise the
temperature of the after heater, and give the after heater and your
media time to warm up before printing again.
- Raising the temperature of the after heater too high can cause
the media to shrink, wrinkle, or deteriorate.
- Make sure
the media settings in your RIP software are correct for the media
you are using.
- If you are
comparing the print result with the image on your computer screen,
the colors may not match. Since monitors and printers produce
colors differently, printed colors and screen colors do not always
look the same.
- Make sure that the printer and maintenance covers are closed.
Do not open any covers during printing. This can cause the
printhead to stop abruptly, resulting in uneven color.
- Shake the ink supply units. Components in the ink may have
settled to the bottom of the liquid. Remove the ink packs and shake
them.
