    I can’t really see on the picks but is it the lines?

    Hows your feed calibration… does it print the test ok?

    Print tests fine Shane. It’s like wavey lines all over the place. Pics are crap from my phone.

    I moved the printer earlier. It’s a bit cooler where it is at the moment. I noticed the vinyl was rippling as it went through the back so I put a fan heater on behind the printer which cured it. Only on very low though.

    Just altered the head height to thin as well which also improves the print.

    I was going to suggest the head height too.

    I remember that thread Dan thanks. When it’s happened in the past it’s only occurred between the pinch rollers. This was happening anywhere it liked.

    I dont know why it happens, but it has happened to me a couple of times randomly, and on different medias? Strangely it hasnt happened after I cleaned my encoder strip – thinking about it??

    regards
