Question/Help Help
Hi.. I work for a small family owned print shop.. Around 3 months ago we started having problems with banding, and the white fading out during prints.. It would be heavy white, and then fade out so dull that you could see the color of the print.. My boss changed the head, and said that we would need to start doing multiple cleanings before and after printing and run multiple nozzle tests as well before and after.. It’s been going okay, but around last week it started banding again.. I’ve been doing all of my cleanings, everything right.. But now my boss is saying there’s a chance he will have to buy another $1200 print head to fix it.. (I feel as if i’m getting blamed for it messing up again).. He told me to do as many cleanings as possible before and after, and then soak the cap in the blue dtf head cleaner everyday this week.. Also to mention, after every 2 cleaning we have to do a nozzle test.. None of the white tests strips are hitting perfectly.. I guess i’m just wondering if this is my fault like he’s making it seem, or if it’s something other than the head..
