Hi wise friends!
I recently bought a secondhand Canon Prograf 2100 from a my retailer. It was a demo-model which had been in their store for some years.
They told me that they run it frequently to prevent clocking.
Now the printer is in my shop, and I have set it up just like my other Canon Prograf 2100. Same profiles, same settings, same paper, same software (Canon Profressional Layout), etc.
However i have this one (weird) issue with the printer when i start printing...
There is always a print-error on the very first print I make. Actually in the very first 10-20 cm.
After that everything looks fine, and the rest of the print job (cutting in between the prints/sheets) are fine as well.
The print error looks like this:
It looks like there is too much blue color, and it also produces some stripes.
I have no idea what causes this.
I have tried to clean everything, calibrate, update etc. etc.
Do you guys think it has something to do with the print head (or other hardware) or the software - or have you had a similar problem before?
I appreciate any help
All the best
