2. Ink Overspray
Ink Overspray and/or
combination of data shift and ink
overspray is observed. Normally
occurs at severe ground fault
locations (high levels of AC riding
on ground/neutral lines or high
levels of ESD are coming from
the air plenum). Refer to B.
below.
3. Media Static Cling/Feed Transport Problems
- Color calibration
horizontal lines (i.e.
Color Cal Vertical
pattern) are incorrectly
spaced (i.e. two lines
are closer together
while one line is spread
farther from the other
two) or may be printed
outside of the calibration
box area.
- Feed adjust values may be too low (i.e. 4840 to 4870). Typical feed
adjust (paper calib values) should be 4800 +/- 15 for most media
types. Media which generates a high amount of static electricity (i.e.
15,000~30,000 volts) and is thin (i.e. 3 mil) may be subject to
improper transfer through the printer’s media path.
NOTE: To isolate a suspected media type, load a different the media type (i.e. rapid dry
or outdoor vinyl) and run the line length test and color calibration pattern again.
