Title: Calibrating a 4880 print head (FilmMaker)
Post by: Gilligan on August 18, 2016, 06:50:52 PM

Not sure the RIP is relative because I think it's just the printer itself here (single channel black being used here).

Check out these films we printed.

That grid is 1pt lines, not sure the font point size.. but you see the dribbles that aren't supposed to be there.

What is the proper way to fix this?

Have you cleaned the heads and done an head alignment.

Not sure about the alignment part.

THOROUGH head cleaning as it had sat up for a few months before we got it.

if you are printing out of one color, it looks like one of the nozzles is firing late (or early). Try a different color. . .

If it sat a few months you might be screwed. Trying another color is an option but because it sat for so long its going to have an issue. There is an issue with that channel. Sometimes you have to clean it several times to get it to print right. It looks dirty to me and not clogged. Buildup on the nozzle area.
