It's either cheap, old, or defective vinyl I'm guessing. What are you using?

Check your cap top. If there is a little hook on the left side of the cap, the station is most likely not OEM and the hook is blocking the wiper form moving. Usually you would get an error but not always.

I pointed out the part that is in the wrong position in your image. The part that is in front should be in back.

Check the little lever on the left of the machine if you are facing the back of it. It's hard to describe but the lever sometimes pops over the little metal lip so when you lower the lever to lower the pinch wheels, it's not going down all the way. The issue is it goes down just far enough to...

For every brand of machine you will hear the story about the guy who has a tech out every week to keep it running and also the guy who ran it for 10 years without doing maintenance and it worked like a charm. The difference between the Epson based machines and the HP is the HP is designed to...

I agree with above that it's usually contaminated or bad material in combination with possibly too much ink. Since it happens on all materials however, what type of ink are you using? Might be a bad batch. Also, if you flushed the machine to install the new head and any solution didn't get...

It can be a mine field out there when it comes to these parts. As said above, Indonesia is usually a bad sign unfortunately. I have actually had companies in Indonesia buy from us rather than locally. If you are interested in buying in the US, give us a call or email with any questions. We stock...

Even if the file starts local, if your temporary file folder for Flexi is in a network location, it would have to read and write via the network to that folder which it seems to be doing. Judging by your video, workstation 1 isn't doing much locally at all whereas station 2 is doing all work on...

Sounds like an air leak somewhere in the system then. Check all of your lines from top to bottom and see if there is any air in them. Unfortunately you can have a leak even if there is no air in them. Usually leaks happen at connections and o-rings. Sometimes the line is kinked and has a split...

It might just be clogged. Have you tried a head soak yet?

With the Mimaki bulk system, over the years when you switch out ink bags little tiny bits of air can creep in especially if you are rough with it. Over time the air gets into the mid cart and causes the pressure int he system to not be regulated properly which can cause drop out or even ink...

One thing I noticed was the network is going crazy on workstation one but the disk is doing almost nothing whereas the network on workstation 2 is basically doing nothing while the disk is running about 100% the whole time. This leads me to believe either the default file folder is set to a...

Are you using the bulk system that came with the machine or cartridges? If it's the bulk system you may just need to do an air purge on that mid cartridge. Over time air can get in and throw off the pressure.

If it's changing color after sitting, there is probably a small air leak somewhere. I would make sure the o-ring between the damper and ink line is new and not flat on one side. Even if there are no air bubbles in the line there can still be an air leak. You are also correct that there could be...

It looks like some major cross contamination issues. Are you using a bulk system or cartridges? Also, post a nozzle check.

The wiper is part of the station so if it's new it should be working properly. Are you getting a wiper error?

Just remember OP is running this as a RIP computer only. Having a video card will not improve RIP speeds at all. Having a processor with 1000 cores will not make RIP speeds go faster. The RIP process is not parallelizable meaning it can not be split up into multiple threads and processes. The...

They split because there needs to be two layers. You are either printing white first and then color or vice versa. You can't print both at the same time. The only way to do that with a single or in line head setup is to only print half the nozzles for white and color. So in the case of a white...

I agree with WildWestDesigns One thing to add, an Intel i7 is great if you are going to be multitasking but if it's just going to be a RIP computer, I would find the i5 with the fastest clock speed available instead. It will save you some dough you can spend on an SSD which will help RIP times.

There are two main reasons white slows printers down. 1. It takes usable channels away from the head. Say you have an 8 channel Epson head, although this works on any head it's just easier for me to explain with an Epson. Each channel has 180 nozzles. You could set it up CMYKx2 which prints...
