It's likely caused by dirty heads or bad paper. ZINK is a thermal printing technology and it's dependent on heat and clean heads. This is also why the paper packs include a calibration/cleaning sheet.

It's likely caused by dirty heads or bad paper. Since ZINK is a thermal technology, it dpends on the thermal head being clean. This is also why the paper packs include a cleaning/calibration sheet.

I would try a new pack of paper, so you can clean the heads. Most ZINK printers dislike sudden paper changes (which isn't a problem for dye sub), so you may need to use the remaining paper to keep the printer in sync. If this doesn't fix it, then the thermal head is bad.

Try a new pack of paper, which will rule out bad paper and dirty heads. Most ZINK printers dislike sudden paper changes (not a problem with dye sub), so use the current pack up to avoid sync problems. This may not be the case every time, but it's the norm with most ZINK printers. If this doesn't fix it, then the thermal head is bad.
