Low density photos and NG densitometer

[cerokool86]

Good afternoon, engineers. What do you think could be 
causing this printing issue?
My photos are coming out very faded and weak, and the 
densitometer reading won't go above NG. 

I've attached before and after photos.

Thank you for your time.

Hey
i can't open the files but you most definitely have a chemistry issue

Confirm that enough developer is getting replenished

Confirm that blix is not getting into the developer, one drop is enough to cause visible faults in developing

It also can be that the replenished empty sensor is faulty and you ran the machine without replenisher for a long time

This was most likely caused by not using the printer enough, having the machine run all day with no work kills the chemistry in the matter of weeks

What you need to check: Developer, by cutting a piece of fresh paper and holding it in the developer tank for exactly 45s when the machine is warmed up completely
Blix overflow to the effluent tank, Developer replenishing pump, hoses, inline filters

Try and reupload the photos so that we can open them, tell us the make and model of the printer and the chemicals you're using
If you confirmed that all of these are fine and the processor is working as it should, then you can try retanking the developer

Hi

More time its problème of P1 chemical

P1 is Developer

technician said in one day you ve to use 1/3 of developer/p1 to make it fresh. its around 500piece 4r on big machine like 3702. it depends on what chemical you use. the point is you ve to print a lot in one day

I think my post should have gone in the Border section; I made a mistake, sorry. The equipment was out of commission for a month; it was only turned on to heat the chemicals. It wasn't working due to problems with an STK integrated circuit, which have now been fixed. But now the problem is low image density; the photos are still coming out fine.

Hei
No puedo abrir los archivos, pero definitivamente tienes un problema de química

Confirme que se esté reponiendo suficiente desarrollador

Confirme que blix no entre en el desarrollador, una gota es suficiente para causar fallas visibles en el desarrollo

También puede ser que el sensor vacío reabastecido esté defectuoso y haya hecho funcionar la máquina sin reabastecedor durante mucho tiempo

Lo más probable es que esto se debiera a que no se usó lo suficiente la impresora, ya que tener la máquina funcionando todo el día sin trabajo mata la química en cuestión de semanas

Lo que debes comprobar: Desarrollador, cortando un trozo de papel nuevo y manteniéndolo en el tanque de desarrollador durante exactamente 45 segundos cuando la máquina esté completamente calentada
Desbordamiento de Blix al tanque de efluentes, bomba de reposición Developer, mangueras, filtros en línea

Intenta volver a cargar las fotos para que podamos abrirlas, dinos la marca y modelo de la impresora y los productos químicos que estás usando
Si confirmaste que todo esto está bien y que el procesador está funcionando como debería, entonces puedes intentar volver a marcar al desarrollador

The developer in the working tank needs to be replaced. Any developer will deteriorate if the minilab is not used for more than a month.

Thank you so much, engineers. The machine is working now.

What I did was add half a liter of booster, and that's it. Thank you all so

much for your help. My Frontier is working with its stable color.

Retanking would have been the best option but this is a good solution too, the ph and the concentration is now probably out of speck, that just means it's now less stable
We kept alive our 3202 like this for a few months but at the end that developer was not savable

Try and not turn the lab off for this long, or if you have to, drain developer and blix into air tight containers, fill lab with water and when you're ready to restart fill it back up, add like 500ml of replenisher, from replenisher tank, not concentrate and should be good to go
