Versant with repeating spot

[big mike]

I have a Versant 3100 with a magenta spot that repeats every 148mm (5.8"). I replaced the magenta drum and it's still there. Any ideas where to check? I need to fix it in the morning and the EDOC hasn't led me to a chart like they have on older models. Thanks in advance for your advice and time.

that distance is the diameter of the drum
I would swap the yellow and magenta drums

Re: Versant with repeating spot

Thanks for the replies. It was the drum. Actually, there were two drums effected. One is noe in the yellow position, the other was replaced. I appreciate your support. I am slowly getting up to speed on these.

It's in a print shop that runs 13x19 gloss card stock duplex. I fought skew issues until I found you can raise the gate fingers (changing nvms), and using the fiery, in SLM advanced, increase buckle (loop), increase pinch roll pressure. It's much better now.
