Same problem I'm having this issue too!! I have been having issues since last Monday. I got a new pump over the weekend and put it in this Monday because it was suggested that I do so. I ran test prints, my prints were pretty much back to normal (just a couple nozzles missing) Monday night...

We've never used anything other than Mimaki ink in it.

Thank you! So you leave your machine on all night even?

Most of the test prints are on a General Formulations Product. Whether it be their Automark or just generic white vinyl. I was just trying to run some of the garbage out of the nozzles so i didn't want to waste my good material. I've gone through A LOT of material and cleaning solution the past...

Thanks for all the help! I still have crappy prints, but they're a little better. I was wondering if someone could provide what they have their routine and sleep mode maintenance schedule set to. Also what should the wiper scan count be set to. I think part of the problem was that the wiper...

Also, the JV33 Bible link takes me to an "Invalid" page. I'd really like to have it if someone could supply me with another link. Thanks!

I really do hope you're right about the head, but we've done SO much cleaning without much improvement on the over all test print. Sure the last one I posted looks better than the first, but in all reality I just have it back to where I had it before I replaced the cap head. I have another...

Here is the print after cleaning the head, 20 min nozzle wash and adjusting the head height. Doug - Yes I have noticed that I get shocked pretty much any time I touch the machine. Heat/humidity is not an issue here I don't think, we are in the middle of winter in Michigan. Cold and dry! :)...

How do I ensure that it's working properly? It's been cleaned multiple times a day during this process of trying to fix it and it's also been replaced. The one that is in it right now is brand new. There's definitely ink being left on the head I can see the droplets when I watch it print. What...

Oh I know. We've been having a bit of a banding issue for a fairly good amount of time. Never this bad though and the issue with the black being outside where it is supposed to be is more recent. It was not even remotely this bad until I replaced the cap head last Thursday. Now there all kinds...

I will try to figure out how to do all that. I'll have to find the directions in the manual. I don't believe I have the latest version of firmware. Thanks for the suggestions!

Here's my disaster of a test print. I am currently running a really long nozzle wash so I cant take a pic of the print head right now. But I can later if you still want it. There isn't debris around the print head. I've cleaned the crap out of it many times in the past week or so. Thanks!

Yes I know, I have some older technology but I have to work with what I've got. I am having issues with my print quality. I get really bad banding in my prints and some issue with the black being dragged outside the lines of the print (See pictures). Yesterday we replaced the cap head assembly...
