Hello,  I am having some banding issues on my large format printer. (HP700W latex printer)  I often print on Avery Dennison 1105 vinyl and cannot get this horizontal banding to go away.  I have only printed off this new printer a couple of months.  I just recently did a print head alignment and a cleaning.  However, I am still seeing banding in my prints.  Any suggestions or advice on things I could try?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you

Hi.

If you made all cleaning procedures as in manual (from page189 - cleaning from printer menu, electrical connections on printhead and carriage) and still banding occurs, you may try to clean clogged nozzles of defective printhead with lint-free cloth and distilled water. There are few links about how to do it::

If banding continues, you have to replace those printheads, but I think you should try all cleaning procedures again and clean electrical contacts on printhead with wipers included in Cleaning kit. Just be cautious when cleaning not to damage contacts or nozzles.
