    I currently buy FL560 from Metamark to print banners onto. I’ve got a Rowland Versa Cam SP 300. I’m getting major problems with banding on the solid prints i’m running out.

    I’ve just had an engineer from Roland out and hes changed a few pipes and cleaned areas that need to be. I’m running all printed banners out on the MD5-100 media settings, which still seems to create this banding.

    Does anybody else have this problem?? or can anybody recomend another media? or even another settings to over come this?

    Cheers

    I’m using a d-tec banner and the avery 12oz settings in signlab p&c and getting really fantasctic results on solid colours (even on 720x360draft). I know this isn’t a great help but it is a settings issue!

    I’ve got the versacamm sp-540v. I use Avery 4230 MPI Banner Material.

    Have you tried using the Generic Vinly 1 Profile?

    What length rolls does your media come in?

    My avery comes in 50 metres and its pretty heavy. Do you prefeed the media off the roll?

    If I don’t prefeed I will get banding cause the printer doesn’t evenly pull the media off the uptake rollers.

    If your not prefeeding it try and and Generic Vinyl 1 profile in Versaworks.

    the media comes in 25 meter rolls.. what do you mean by prefeed? do you mean that you would unwined quite a bit of the media so the rollers are not pulling the media from the rollers?
