You have an ICC profile checked in CorelDRAW. ▪
Go to File > Print and select the Misc. Tab. Uncheck Apply ICC Profile.
The Capping Station is not working properly. ▪
Clean the Capping Station.
Prevention:
Usually when a color prints with an incorrect hue, it is because a Nozzle is
clogged. If you are trying to print an Orange image but it appears more Yellow ,
that means the Magenta is clogged and the pigments can’t mix to produce
Orange .
The most important part of your Fast T-Jet 3 is the Capping Station. Make sure
this ALWAYS stays clean. The Print Head “docks” here when not in use to
ensure it does not dry out. The Capping Station is also used during Head
Cleanings. If the Capping Station is dirty, the printer can’t do a proper Head
Cleaning and fix a clogged nozzle.
Note: When building any image inside any software program, make sure you
always use RGB color mode because this is how your monitor displays colors.
Never apply an ICC profile.
Problem:
Prints are out of alignment or there are large gaps in the print.
Causes:
Different Print Modes are being used ▪
Double-check settings in the FastRIP Setup screen and make sure all Print
Modes are of the same type. If using an HS Print Mode for the
color then the same Mode must be used for the Underbase (i.e. Photo 720
Standard HS Print Mode and 1440 DPI Image Normal Underbase HS ).
Encoder strip is dirty and needs to be cleaned ▪
Clean the Encoder Strip.
If using an Underbase and/or Underbase wizard, the Black and White ▪
versions of images may be different sizes.
Double check the images’ Heights and Widths to make sure they are
identical.
Print Carriage is jumping around and causing a misread of the Encoder ▪
Strip.
Clean the Drive Belt Gear.
There is a communication error between your printer and your ▪
computer.
Make sure you don’t have any jobs in the FastRIP Queue or Windows Print
