Re: [Digital BW] Re: Cyan overspray (halo) on CIS

2001-12-11 by Daniel Perez

Okay, I contacted No More Carts and they said this was
the first case of overspray with MIS they had seen,
but confirmed that this was a problem with Color Piezo
inks(on 1270-2000's).  They also said this looked
worse than what they had seen before.

They suggested pulling the cart out and pushing it
back in VERY firmly.  Though I had tried that already,
I gave it a shot anyway.  I ran some cleaning cycles
and let it sit overnight for good measure.  

I printed some bars this morning and saw some *slight*
cyan overspray again, but far less than before.  I
then set the +/0 switch (paper thickness)to 0 (as Hap
suggested, thanks)and that seems to have done it! 
Very sharp, clean edges on EAM and was able to print a
clean profile target. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the
ink.

My question is, can I print on 260gsm Museo with the
+/0 switch set to 0?  Anyone tried this?

Thanks for all the help!
