sythetic stock HELP (masterpiece brand)

Trying to run this stock with no luck. 1rst side looks like crap 2nd side looks fine...any recomended substrate setting would be helpfull!! or any other tips
or a brand of synthetic that runs ok
Also what exactly changes when playing with the numbers..IE what goes on with the igen if you increase the de-tach etc..tech support is no help..they tell you to raise or lower but with out knowing what the f the values are changing it is like driving blind LOL

MGX
Masterpiece Igen .012 Mill sythetic stock
spec MGX-1709
lot 1961

 

I dont have experience with that paper....but...Ill take a guess since youre mentioning transfer..

explain "looks like crap" LOL I personally have about 400 versions of that exact statement

If it is random white specks within a solid color, resembling snow, LOWER the transfer current setting 10 pts in media settings. Do not lower the last box.

Keep lowering and trying for the side thats the problem(or both) until snow stops. then you might find that somewhere around 40-ish it'll start fading color. If its really dry thin paper, you might also notice mega static.

my guess is you'll settle around 60-70 to make that paper run.

If its not snowy, transfer settings wont really do anything. I've never had to raise it.....but you could try?

YOu say one side is ok the other is bad? is either side coated?

again, let us know the "crap" of which you speak....thatll help a little

 

thats actually not true, I DID have to raise it before, because I went too low on one then forgot, having changed the WRONG one (vague memory) then running a job later on and looked terrible...

i suggest making a second media for testing....

 

first side has snow along with white lines and
criss cross color line patterns .like a half tone
side two is perfect
it is like the paper needs to be pre-charged to run
but we tried running a blank job on the stock then a real job with no luck!
at $1 a sheet there is not a lot of room to play around with settings!

 

$1 a sheet?! whoa. For that much, it should run itself.


thats weird. are both sides exactly the same coating wise? have you tried running side one, then put back in drawer to run side 2? or both sides variable? been there.....

 

tried running a 2 sided blank print then running the job ssme results
side 1 trAsh side 2 ok
I QUIT lol

 

back to work LOL...finaly got the job to run
using these C2S gloss smooth settings
detack-O
Transfer A+B 100 side 1
transfer A+B 90 side 2
and it helps to run from bottom draw

 

weird.... dahell would bottom drawer have to do with it.... Oh well. chalk it up to the xerox gods....

 

had the same issue

I fought that one for quite a while. Problem was that the stock was leaving shreds of the stock in the tab blade. could only run about 10 sheets at a time. we upgraded to the IGen4 Diamond edition and that really helped. but over all it was the stock we now use works way better its from PPG industries its a 10mil Teslin. the settings we use is Uncoated,,, finish regular, LAB: 97 ,0.1, 1.6
Substrate Attributes: Detack -10
Transfer A&B 120
Transfer C 0
Pretransfer:

Hope this helps
