how do i stop bad banding on a roland PC600 please?
Hi There, We have recently purchased a Roland PC600, which on the whole seems to be a great little machine. However we are getting quite bad banding on the magenta. I’ve messed about with the settings on ColourCAMM but it hasn’t seemed to make much difference. It doesn’t seem to do it on vector art only bitmaps.
I wondered if it was the way I was exporting the EPS from corel draw. Anybody got any good tips for this machine and what are the best settings.Cheers Simon.

if you print a block of C,M,Y,K does just the magenta seem bandy?

When I had my machine I occasionally had problems with magenta and red ribbons from one supplier (patchy looking print) – so if the problem is only with magenta, try a ribbon from another supplier.

Yes it seems to band, but only the top and bottom of each pass giving the appearance of parallel lines. It only seems to do this though when printing between 40% to 90% magenta shade. The ribbons I’m using are from print one. As I said it’s only the magenta that it seems to be doing it on. I may be that you gust notice it more with magenta.
I’ve tried different cartridges (all from print one) so it’s not a defective cartridge.Cheers

Like I said – try a ribbon from a different supplier 😉

Hi, yer I had the same problem using red from print one when I had my machine, I used ribbons from print one and I think it was thermal products I used for the red.
