    Hello!

    I have a very bad problem with my rockhopper 2 printer.
    when i print in 720 dpi it becomes printed out like it comes from a sprey botle

    check the picture


    on the left picture is 720 dpi on the right picture is 360 dpi
    I already have spoken with the service guy and he hes no idea…

    if anyone had such problem, please give me some advice how to fix this

    Ps: My printer prints on lycson mid solvent ink. And I have allready changed damphers…..

    My english is not very good (Croatian)….

    Thanks in advanced..

    Yes I have.

    the problem is that the nozle check is just ok

    but the preser when I print is a catastrofi by 720 dpi
    when I print in 360 is ok

    i dont have this printer I have JV3… I know that the printer uses different vibration techniques when printing at different resolutions. Sounds like it is to do with this. I cannot be certain.

    I suspect the nozzle check is printed at 360dpi… shame as I wanted to see if the yellow was just one nozzle or all of them.

    The problem is that the whole cmyk colors are in bed condition when printing in 720 dpi

    and not only yellow

    My rockhopper 1 sometimes prints like that in 720 but if i do a power wash, maybe 2 or 3 times then it prints beautifully.
    This is maybe not the answer to your problem but i would try it.
