Action |
|
---|---|---|---|
Sharp OD/gloss lines for a single mono-colour and its corresponding mixed colours. |
A single light line (doesn’t repeat in next swath)? |
Detected too late for compensation in that swath. |
Cannot be solved (a slower print mode will reduce the problem). |
A light line that repeats in multiple swaths, high quality mode or better. |
Probably undetected nozzle failure or side shooter. |
Run maintenance + nozzle optimisation. |
|
Dark/light/gloss lines (single mono-colour/not at swath boundary)
|
Probably compensated nozzle failure, but still (somewhat) visible. |
Run maintenance + nozzle optimisation (to prevent the nozzle failure). |
|
Try a different print mode/strategy (to reduce visibility) |
|||
Many lines or a thin band, doesn’t go away after manual maintenance |
Run printhead diagnostic (?) test chart and call service |
