Steven Jackson replied to mike shoring's discussion versacamm print "bending""Sounds just like an encoder strip error. Clean it as Irv says with a alcohol swab"
irving donaldson replied to mike shoring's discussion versacamm print "bending""Without seeing a picture - the symtoms point to the encoder strip."

irving donaldson replied to mike shoring's discussion versacamm print "bending""Mike I understand all the hehehe's. Ok so it is a print bending instead of a physical bending. That makes a difference.

irving donaldson replied to mike shoring's discussion versacamm print "bending""Mike can you provide a picture of what you are calling bending - I would like to see where it is bending before I can make any suggestions.

It seems that fromm time to time the versacamm 300 vp will gradually "bend" the print.The interesting thing is that the cutting is fine, and that it is not a "wheel" slippage based issue.I heard that it could be the "electronic strip or band" that gets dirty just above the head holder mechanism. Is this the problem? I am sure it is not software. perhaps the wire that the head mechanism goes back and forward on?If you know the solution I would very much appreciate any advice ! thanks in advance…See More

- Mike - to hit the roland spot color there are a few more steps to do. I would try using a CMYK value os 80, 80, 80 , 90 first or even a nice RGB 0f 0,0,0 will get you a very good black. It is not versaworks on this one! The formula of 100% K will give you a brownish, greenish black. Try the other two formulas.
Hope this helps!
