[49] Waves / Cockle problems
Graphical representation of the
problem Description
[61]
Waves and or light stripes in the
paper feed direction
Bands can consist of waves and / or
slight colour differences of
approximately 1cm.
Check if the correct media is defined on
the system. (
see ‘Replace the media’ on
page 132 )
If yes, select a different media type.
When the printer applies a lot of ink the
paper can cockle. Use premium papers
or coated papers because they have a
better resistance towards waving (also
called cockle). If the problem persists,
the use of heavier media will reduce
cockle.
The following papers will never show
cockle.
