Description

Waves and or light stripes in the
paper feed direction
Bands can consist of waves and / or
slight color differences of
approximately 1 cm.
Check if the correct media is defined on
the system. (see ‘How to correct the
media type defined on the system’ on
page 246)
If yes, select a different media type.
When the printer applies a lot of ink the
paper can cockle. Use premium papers
or coated papers because they have a
better resistance towards waving (also
called cockle). If the problem persists,
the use of heavier media will reduce
cockle.
The following papers will never show
cockle.
