  • Printer hesitating, advice needed please?

    Hi All,

    Wondering if you any of you have had a similar issue/know of a resolution. We have an Epson Surecolour printer and every now and then it will spontaneously decide to hesitate during printing.

    We run Onyx Rip on a separate PC, it’s connected to the printer via ethernet cable and is set to only start printing once all the data has been sent to the printer.

    Every now and then during printing, the print head will start to pause for a few seconds every time it gets to the end of a pass. This can make a run take 10x longer than it should.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Chris

    Interesting because I have an ordinary Epson desktop printer that does the same thing. It’s like it’s getting tired and need to rest for a moment. :))
