"OK, so problem solved!
On Windows 10 laptops, there is an issue where the battery stops charging. I fixed the problem, and that is when the issue of the lines started happening.
A couple of days ago, I went back in and re-did the…"

Randy Siers replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."I had a similar problem on a VP540, much older, but the ribbon cable had an internal crack so as the head passed back and forth it would encounter a data loss / corruption at the same spot resulting a line(s) being printed in same spot left to right."
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."Yes, same cable for both computers. I'll check the port on the problem computer and see if there is something in there that needs to be adjusted. "
irving donaldson replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."Still data related and VWs is not getting the data as expected. So it is losing power or over power, but the lines are interference.
Are you using the same cable for both machines - if not - cabling, port, etc with a loose connection is the…"
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."I thought about that too, but the other file I was running just now is only 149KB and It's still doing it. If I run the large file and the small file off another computer, there's no problem.
The computer that is giving…"
irving donaldson replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."I have found this issue appears if there is a data load issue. Easy to test by reducing the file size by half or 75% and then using VWs to bring it up to the size you need. You only need 72dpi to get a good print. The data exchange hiccups shows as…"
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."I tested the computer again with another file and also using different profiles. The computer still is giving me these lines, but using another computer the print is perfect with no lines. I'll try to run the computer without the…"
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."OK, so I traced it back to the computer. To save some time, I reran one of the files on another computer. It printed perfectly with no problems.
The issue,now, must be with the computer. I'll mess with it over the next day and see…"
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."Hi Todd:
Are those just the two ribbons that go to the head?
Thanks."
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."Hi Irving.
The size of files are varying on this project from 750 MB to 920 MB.
The OS is windows 10 and have 441GB free of 908GB
I have 8 GB of RAM
I actually did not shut it down. I will do that and try again and test it…"
Todd Collins replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."Typically the ribbon cables need replaced on the VS machines when this issue pops up"
irving donaldson replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."What size is the file
What is the OS
How much hard drive space available
How much RAM
Did you shut down the computer, also"
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."OK, so we thought we had it fixed, but about 8" in on the next file, the lines started again. Any ideas on this? Thanks."
Constantine replied to Constantine's discussion CMYK lines showing up in print."OK, good news I figured it out. I just down the main power for about 30 seconds and restarted it. Did a test print using the same art file and those lines disappeared.
Hopefully, this is helpful for someone.
Thanks,
Constantine"

So it is not dampers - it is head
