KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

2.Ink Overspray Ink Overspray and/or combination of data shift and ink overspray is observed. Normally occurs at severe ground fault locations (high levels of AC riding on ground/neutral lines or high levels of ESD are coming from the air plenum). Refer to B. below.

3.Media Static Cling/Feed Transport Problems - Color calibration

horizontal lines (i.e. Color Cal Vertical pattern) are incorrectly spaced (i.e. two lines are closer together while one line is spread farther from the other two) or may be printed outside of the calibration box area.

-Feed adjust values may be too low (i.e. 4840 to 4870). Typical feed adjust (paper calib values) should be 4800 +/- 15 for most media types. Media which generates a high amount of static electricity (i.e. 15,000~30,000 volts) and is thin (i.e. 3 mil) may be subject to improper transfer through the printer’s media path.

NOTE: To isolate a suspected media type, load a different the media type (i.e. rapid dry or outdoor vinyl) and run the line length test and color calibration pattern again.
