Designjet T730 Issues

pbrulotte · ‎09-06-2023

My T730 has been having several issues. In the spring, it started plotting with the colors wrong or not at all. My line drawings would come out with blue lines as magenta. Images printed would have a magenta hue to them. Thought there was an issue with my ink cartages, so I swapped them out for new ones. The problem persisted with the new ink. On to the print head, went through all steps to clean the printhead with no luck. I have now replaced the print head and the color issue is not as bad, but still there. Now the blue lines have sections were they are black. The new issue is that it looks like it is skipping every few inches. This happens when I print out of AutoCad, Acrobat, Photoshop and other programs. Tried updating the drivers and still no luck. Any ideas on what might be happening? The print quality report is the last image, no text prints with the report. Thanks in advance!

As there is no black showing that is where your problems lie. I would try to perform a head cleaning to see if that gets black in printing again.

Its a brand new printhead and I run the head cleaning about 15 times, still get the same result.
