Smearing or fading in the print

Problem

recommended life?

for the material loaded?
Are the pinch wheels set to the
correct force setting for the material
loaded?

recommend service life?
Solution

profile.
Print a NozzleJob test
print to check print head
performance. See
"Printing the NozzleJob
test print" on page 101.
Adjust the pinch wheel
force setting for the
material loaded.
Switch to Quality mode
with more passes which
can minimize the
