  • SP300v Streaking during reg marks

    Posted by Anthony Searls on 11 July 2010 at 19:15

    Got something weird going on with my versacamm. Out of the blue every time I print registration marks i get faint red random lines. This only happens in the area of the reg marks, I assume it has something to due with the higher speeds it uses in reg marks printing. Any ideas?

    I had a problem where I was getting a red mist when printing, this was all over the print not just reg marks!
    Sorry but a new head was needed. I still say take the guess work out of these printer problems and get a repair contract, it takes all the guess work out and also piece of mind, for £80 a month for me its been money well spent !!!

    Hi Anthony,

    I don’t want to upset you too much, but I had the very same problem with my Grenadier machine. I had faint magenta lines, it was the start of the magenta head to fail.
    It would print the image I wanted just fine, but crop marks and when doing a head print test you will find it does the same.

    You will find the magenta head will die on you very shortly. You’ll need to get it replaced.

    From Mark

    It just seems weird that test prints turn out fine
