can anyone advise why i dont get solid prints with JV3?
Hello,
we’re having a problem with our JV3-SP2-160 with printing on Avery MPI 1004.
We need to print a large solid dark blue logo and when I print this,
the print isn’t solid at all, it has lighter cloud like spots, causing an uneven result.Printing resolution:
720 x 720 dpi uni-directional, 8 pass
Avery profile from their website (which has a temp setting of 55/45 C)
Onyx 7.2 ripI thought the temp settings where a bit high, but lower or even higher temps doesn’t really solve this.
I don’t have this problem with other materials or vinyls.Anybody got an idea how to solve this? Or does someone have a profile that works?
Sorry for my bad English, i hope you guys can understand it 😛

Oh, i forgot to mention,
on the capping station side of the print it looks like these clouds are more noticeable then on the far side, but not much.

Can’t help you Benno.
We get the same on our JV33 with Avery 1005.
We’ve had various new profiles from Avery, and played with the temperature settings, but nothing seems to make any difference.
Prints perfectly on other materials.
🙁

I’ve spoken my supplier today and they thought it could be a faulty batch,
they are going to test the material on their own machines.I hope it isn’t the mimaki-avery combination 🙁

is this one end of the roll or evenly distributed across the media?
-
I have it right from the beginning, but it seems that it increases a little bit later on.
But that could be my imagination too 😳 -

Mine was right across Dave. 🙁

I don’t know if you have solved the problem but i have had the same problem on my JV3 160 SP running through Raster rip 2. We was getting a cloudy sort of effect quite badly, on the colour adjustment tab in the rip i decreased it to -15. It was mentioned that it could be laying down too much ink by engineers through the rip. Anyway i did it and it worked, but always find that doing block colours i need to print on uni directional on either 8 or 16 pass

Hello Benno,
I’m having the same problem printing on Orajet 3162. Have you have the problem fixed yet? Is it the vinyl or the rip? Im using Flexisign Pro, JV3 SP2 130.Heng

I was talking to a supplier a few days ago about this problem. She mentioned something to do with the vinyl regarding a P.U liner. Haven’t tried it yet though.
-
We had exactly the same problem printing with an HP9000 and a Roland XC540, Sent all the media back and they put it down to a faulty batch, I put it down to an incompatible vinyl swapped to MPI 1900 problem solved.
-
I had this when printing a solid grey on MPI 1900. I didn’t have a proper Avery profile anyway but tried some others and got a reasonable solid colour.
-
I changed the Rendering Intents from Perceptual to Relative Colourimetric and have the problem fixed. Blue is now printing solid blue, no more cloudy or pinkish blue patches.
I’m using Flexisign Pro 8.5, other Rip software should have Rendering Intents too.Heng

from my latest experience it is probably that the profile that you are using is for a different printer and the clouding is caused by the print heads not being primed properly.
If you are using a 1×6 printer and the profile is a 2×4 (ink colors/heads) your not going to get the proper operating settings. Thus the clouding. -
My problems have been fixed, my supplier said it was caused by a faulty batch in combination with the materials liner type (doesn’t spread the heat very well). I swapped from 1004 to 1005 and haven’t had any problem since.
