I initially had this problem and swapped the Fiery cable and printed the SAME job and problem went away for about a week. Next, we had this same problem and reseating cables, Fiery calibration, all machine process adjustments did not help. We replaced the Fiery Hard drive and the problem went away. 2 days later, this problem came back.
We have now tried all of the above again, but no results. I cannot see this as a machine issue because the test prints do not show any negative, but the customer prints do.
Here are my confusing issues:
- I printed the same document from one of their C7000 to the other and had NO problems. I dragged and dropped with the same job and printer properties to their other machine and never had a problem.
- When I initially had this problem, I printed the problem file and got the attached BAD results attached. Then swapped Fiery cables and printed the EXACT same document without any changes and got a good print (called it good for a bad connections), but the problem came back.
- Had to be a Fiery related issue, so while I was having the gradation problem, I replaced the Fiery Hard drive and when I printed the file again, the problem was gone.

- If we change the color profile, we can get a better print, but still does not explain the problem when using same profile and setting to the other machine that works fine.
-
This machine has less than 100k total and there is nothing that we can find in the machine itself that is causing any of this problem. It is all related to Printing and Possible profiles or settings that are NOT machine specific. We are chasing and issue that has already cost us a LOT of time and headaches.
