I had exactly the same issue as you have with my DJ130. This was about a year and a half ago. At the time, I just purchased the printer and only had it for about 3 months. The other problem I had was with the feed rollers making grooves on the photo paper which were visible at an angle.
In doing my research for this printer, I purchased it as it was relatively inexpensive for the size and got a number of good reviews for being frugal on ink. After 3 attempts to fix these issues HP was not able to repair the printer to my or HP tech's satisfaction. At that time, I requested that HP take back the printer. After some time, they agreed. I got my money back, but HP would not refund the taxes paid on the printer (strange). The replacement for this 24 inch printer was the Canon IP6250 machine. I could not be happier with this product. Instead of rollers, the technology of this machine is using vacuum to hold the paper down under the print head. The Canon has 12 ink cartridges and I was able to find compatible product which worked great after internal printer calibration. Anyway, sorry I don't have an answer for you. I don't think the profile is the problem with edge issues you are seeing. It does look like the color is uniform throughout the area, so if it had to do with the profile, the issue should be throughout the width of the print and not just on the edges. -AP_ --- In [email protected], "Gury, John" <jg...@...> wrote: > > > I would not mess with any profile issues as it sounds like you have either > calibration or media setting problems. > Hard to comprehend if the printer passes calibration and if you have done the > automated profile from the color center. > Head faliures, clogs, etc. are going to show up on the Z series and are > really minimal compared to older Designjets or > Epsons. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] on behalf of Eldon Benz > Sent: Wed 8/18/2010 10:59 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [HPDesignJet_Printers] Re: Sunset Colors HP Z3100 > > Peter > > Tried printing your way starting with an unmodified image from the > camera results were identical. > > Tried changing color balance of image with some success in improving > output but the prints still don't look like the image onscreen. > > My monitor has been calibrated. > > Disappointing. > > Thanks > > On Aug 17, 2010, at 11:16 AM, gicleeman wrote: > > > Your problem might be with converting the image to the paper > > profile.
