From a 2020 thread concerning fuzzy prints here on this forum, Stratman gave this response, "Magnifying the nozzle check there appears to be early signs of splitting/bowing of the vertical lines in the latticework of the Pigment Black nozzles. This is believed due to overheating and warping of...
Anyone have any suggestions on this? If not to get it working, any information on what might be causing the problem. I have a parts unit and if it's not too complicated I could swap out a part or two.
I last used this printer about 8 months ago, it had the B200 error and I stopped using it. After coming across a new suggestion to fix the B200 error I powered it on by plugging it in. I plug in the power cord, wait a few seconds and can hear the mechanics working for several seconds, then the...
Well, the issue appears to have fixed itself. After two cleanings I still can not get a perfect nozzle check, however the blotches on the GO are no longer an issue. Attached is the final nozzle check results, note that photo black is still not perfect, but the GO does not have any color...
Yes, the 2 nozzle checks that I posted were printed consecutively, though maybe an hour apart. Nothing else was printed during that time.
I will check that in a bit, probably later today.
Actually, since it was a couple of weeks ago, I don't recall exactly what I was printing.
I tried getting...
This is the first time that I've printed in about two weeks, the nozzle check was fine at that point. I'm attaching a fresh nozzle check, this time on a fresh sheet of paper. As you can see, the blotches are not in the same location. This nozzle check was the very next thing printed after the...
I have a very clean nozzle check on all colors, except I am getting small blotches of cyan showing up on the GO square. See attached image.
there does not appear to be any problem elsewhere on the check. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
Epson SC P-400
There is an excellent forum for Epson Wide Format printers at <https://groups.io/g/EpsonWideFormat>. It is very active with many knowledgeable members. You will probably be able to get excellent additional information there.
I finally found time to implement all of the suggestions, here is what I found. Ink smudges are 100% gone, clicking the "Prevent Paper Abrasion" box did the trick. Should I uncheck this box for printing on regular paper? I assume that this just moves the envelope away from the print head.
I...
I got around to cleaning the pick up rollers tonight, it certainly made a noticeable improvement. It is not 100% as one of the test prints appears to be ever so slightly skewed in the opposite direction. I'll test a bit more tomorrow. So while the skew problem may be solved, or mostly solved...
Peter, thanks for replying and your suggestion for cleaning the rollers. I had not thought of that and had my day gone as planned I would have gone at it earlier. Will give it a try in the next day or so and let you know how it turns out.
When printing envelopes on my MX922 the print is consistently off by 1 or 2 degrees. I'm trying to print my return address with the associated logo and it is almost always crooked. To the best of my knowledge I am loading the envelopes as stated in the manual, the edge of the paper flush with...
Stratman - I use the "DuckDuckGo" search engine, it brought up solutions that suggested resetting my printer system. I would have taken that route, though I have three different printers, Epson, HP, and Canon, and I didn't want to reconfigure all of them unless absolutely necessary. So I deleted...
I reinstalled the Epson Drivers again, this time it worked. I actually went through and deleted all of the Library - Epson files this time, then reinstalled version 10.83 and my printer is finally happily printing again. I'm incredibly cautious about Epson and installing new files as I...
Well actually, no I didn't, of course looking back that clearly should have been the first step. Instead, I searched here in the Epson Forum and didn't get a single hit. So now that I've gone the Google route, I'm getting hits that say it has something to do with the driver. I just manually...
Need help figuring out what is going on with my SP-400, I get the above error when I try to run a print job. It did print a nozzle check, but fails to print a file. I'm on a Mac with 10.13.6 High Sierra. Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
I have never ordered from AliExpress before, nor from any other direct from China vendor. When I browsed AliExpress a couple of weeks ago, there were several many vendors with the carts that I wanted, but no real basis for determining reliability , quality of product, etc. That is why I posted...
Yes, I assumed that there are but a few manufactures of these, but the listings on Aliexpress don't really give you the information you need to determine if you are getting a quality product from a reliable vendor. I'm hoping that someone here has a history with a vendor/s and can recommend a...
