Printing issue with Xp 15000

[KESHACANDLES]

My problem is the printer not printing the correct colors and also not putting down the white ink. If anyone can help that would be great Thank you!

Is this a new problem you're having with this printer and your RIP? Or are you having problems from the start? Which RIP? How are the colors off, and is it not putting down enough white, or not any? Nozzle checks good, I presume?

[KESHACANDLES]

Yes its a new problem I havent had a success with this printer yet.

Banding and wrong resolution. Make sure you have a good nozzle check. 
 

it takes some practice, what program and settings are you using?

Then you are printing in 720x720 and why it likely looks like that.

Ink setting- printer setup.

720x720

Right- change it to 1440x1440. 
 

you also need to set the ink percentages for cmyk and white, the white pass to 1 and choose your underbase mode. 
 

Assuming you put the ink in correctly. Cmyk goes in cmyk- white goes in the red and gray.

[KESHACANDLES]

Yes ink loaded correct 

 

[KESHACANDLES]

Is this correct

That is for the white only- and it isn't correct. 

 

Level 3 and 100 is stock- I only needed level 1. 

 

Choke at 10 is stock- and too high. 

[johnson4]

But you should be good after doing the aforementioned things. Just tweaking your ink settings for the color and white to get a good layer for both.

is this correct now and  thank you

It's a start, try printing with the resolution and everything else I mentioned changed.

for your ink order, the original spots marked CMYK- is that the same color for your DTF inks? white ink in gray and red?

 

Looks like you have clogged nozzles or something up with your cartridge.  I wouldn't print on them much like that it can cause permanent damage. 

 

It's not a push button situation, you'll have to fine tune your ink settings and learn the program before you really run into getting great colorful prints. Every printer is different, even the same model when it comes to ink percentages. After you get a good layer of both white and color, you then run into doing this same thing for your film, powder, curing. Once you do all that, hope your suppliers don't change, because you'll have to do it again to some degree when it does. 

 

As for the custom table size, have you tried reaching out to the place you purchased it from?

Don't forget about good maintenance. 

 

 

Ek comes with a manual and the person you bought it from should be able to help you with the custom table size. 

 

Good luck!

Thank you! I'm looking for a good place to buy supply from.
