Pin sized line in solid black, any idea what is causing it?
Hi
I started having lines in the print what looked like overlapping passes so there would be a slightly "raised" area on the overlap, it wasn’t very noticeable but in the light you could see it, this seems to have gone but I now have this extremely thin pin sized line in solid black areas. I’ve done test prints and cleans etc but nothing looked wrong on the tests and cleaning made no difference.
I’ve started a few enquiries to get the printer serviced but anybody know what the cause of this might be?
Roland SP540i is the printer.
cheers

Warren,
2 suggestions:
First:- I have been advised that in colder weather its always worth running the environment match (env . match) from the main menu on the machine, I’m assuming that it will be the same as my SP-300, because that gets the machine to the correct temperature before it starts printing rather than getting there as it runs the first bit of print.
Second:- In the main menu there is a setting for feed correction, Menu>Calibration>Printing adj, Test Print or Setting. Try the test print if it shows a gap, reduce the percentage (default is 0.00%) if it overlaps, could be your problem, increase the percentage.
Does that make sense?Steve

awesome thanks Steve I’ll try those, I do have to wait a while in the morning for the room to warm up before I can start printing otherwise I get a motor scan error.
I’ll try those and hopefully will help.
cheers mate
