    Lines at beginning and end of full print ?

    Hi All,

    Bit of a strange one here - trying to print a full page photo to sublimate ...

    But I am getting lines near to the font and end of the picture.

    See attached picture for reference,



    Now I have been battling with cyan to try and get a full nozzle check but keep failing to get a full cyan output.

    See picture for a nozzle check report, cyan is almost complete but I can never get it full (But it did use to be) Even after mutiple head cleans and also syringing cleaing fluid through the cyan print head this is the best I can get..

    (Cyan is far right, looks darker on a picture..)



    Would having that not full give me the problems i am experiencing in the full page print out ? Why only at the begining and end ? In the middle it looks fine so if the head was blocked wouldn't i be getting lines everywhere ?

    I also printed out a test chart and that look ok too - see picture below ..


    Could anyone shine any light on this issue ? It is very annoying !

    Printer is an Epson WF-3010 running CISS ..
    Thanks.

    Looks more like uneven pressure or cool spot on platten. I presume you left if for about 15 minutes to warm up.

    The last picture attached I printed after the first one ... and that shows no banding .. Though it isn't a full page print as such.

    I can try and print out a complete full page if you need me too ?

    Thanks.

    This may seem a silly idea but have you tried printing a full width image but just on the first half of the page and see if the banding still appears?
    Many thanks

    Equipment used A4 Ricoh printer, HP3085 Heat Press Graphtec cutter, Jarin mug press, CJV 30-60 solvent printer and lots of help from DSF.

    Printed accross the page .. so its almost like as soon it gets to that bit on the page it doesnt print anything at all .. or very faintly thus causing the banding ...

    Haven't tried have a page but i would imagine that the banding would still show on one side..

    Thanks.
