Zachary Alasia replied to Zachary Alasia's discussion Light black banding on VS300i"No I did not flush the inks when I changed cartridges. I was told by the jettech rep I wouldn't have to.

irving donaldson replied to Zachary Alasia's discussion Light black banding on VS300i"So what is the one changed that was introduced - the inks
Did you flush the system before you changed - I am guessing no
That in itself is not an issue, but all that ink in the lines is what printed your 500 decals and then new ink, just…"

Zachary Alasia replied to Zachary Alasia's discussion Light black banding on VS300i"I think you took what I'm saying way out of context, I appreciate all of the information and advice you're offering I just asked a simple question on how the encoder strip could be causing horizontal banding.

You ask for advice, advice is given, and now you want a dissertation. You not using metallic but have it in your machine, when it…"
Zachary Alasia replied to Zachary Alasia's discussion Light black banding on VS300i"Can you tell me how a dirty encoder strip (i've inspected mine and it seems clean) could cause horizontal banding? I'm not doubting it, and that literally the last thing I can do in my mind aside from calling service which is going to cost…"
