D1005 Selective banding

[ckphoto 0]

Hello,

 I have a D1005 that I am getting banding with certain backgrounds mainly yellows, reds and browns. The banding measures 5mm, I have talked to Noritsu Support and they were no help saying it is most likely the printhead advance motor since my test prints are good. They want $600 deposit to send out a tech anyone have any suggestions before I go that way.

Does anyone have the Service Manual for the D1005?

is it possible to print with higher quality ? i had this problem before but with epson, the banding only with blue dominant colour, test print all ok, then i print with higer quality the banding was gone, i know it's not resolve problem but it temporary fix, to resolve this problem, i changed my printhead

I did run some of the problem prints with "Image Quality" on and it does mostly go away. I really hope it is not the print head itself the cost to replace is more them Machine is worth.

I had Banding problems.  I have strained the print head's belt, it solves the Banding problem when your printer has been used for years.

if the problem was the belt,than the banding will not be selective, but at every colour. but it's worth to try
