Why is there color banding on my Oce Colorado 1640 Printer?
Color banding may occur during printing. Try selecting a higher quality print mode such as [High Quality], [Specialty], [Backlit], or [Reliance]. If this does not resolve the issue, perform a printhead carriage calibration.
What to do if Oce Printer media touches?
If the media touches, verify that the media type loaded matches the media type selected on the operator panel. Also, check if the [Media thickness] setting in the RIP is correct. Ensure the media isn't damaged or curled and that both the media and printer are stored in appropriate humidity.
Why is my Oce Printer smudging?
If your prints are smudging, try increasing the [Postcure] setting in the RIP. When using [Speciality], [Backlit] or [Reliance] print mode, consider using a faster print mode. Additionally, decreasing the [Printer platen temperature] in the RIP may help.
How to fix graininess on Oce Printer?
To address graininess, first ensure that the media settings in the RIP related to the media being used are correct. Next, perform printhead calibration and printhead carriage calibration. If you observe coalescence in the print, decrease the [Printer platen temperature].
What causes bulging media in Oce Colorado 1640 and how to fix it?
Bulging media can occur if the printer platen is not clean. Ensure the printer platen is clean. Additionally, decrease the [Vacuum power] settings in the RIP.
How to resolve unsharp lines and text on Oce Colorado 1640 Printer?
If you notice a HALO effect due to ink spreading, verify that the media settings in the RIP are correct, especially the [Media thickness]. Perform both printhead calibration and printhead carriage calibration. When printing in [High quality] print mode, set the [Print strategy] setting to [Print optimal].
How to resolve gloss banding in Oce Colorado 1640?
To address gloss banding, tune the [Printer platen temperature] in the RIP. When printing in [Specialty] print mode and you see a defined zebra-like pattern per swath of 5mm, decrease the [Printer platen temperature] with steps of 2 degrees Celsius. When printing in [High Quality] print mode and you see gloss banding in a swath, tune the [Printer platen temperature] with steps of 2 degrees Celsius.
How to fix banding at swath boundary on Oce Printer?
To correct banding at the swath boundary, ensure that the [Automatic advance correction] setting in the RIP is enabled. Adjust the [Advance correction] setting in the RIP, decreasing it to minimize light lines or increasing it to minimize dark lines. When printing in [High quality] print mode, tune the [Print strategy] setting.
How to resolve wrinkling media on Oce Printer?
To address wrinkling media, enable the [Moist sensitivity] setting if wrinkling is caused by humidity. If wrinkling is structural, set the [Carriage elevation] setting in the RIP to [Highest] and increase the [Vacuum power] settings.
How to fix drifting media on Oce Printer?
If the media is drifting, ensure that the printer platen is clean. Reload the media roll, making sure the media has a straight cut leading edge.
