both the ones with the ribbon can use one head for 5-7 years (take that! those of you that don't believe cleaning is 90% of head life) i had 2 140xi2's we bought USED in 2005 (they were 12 years old then) and they have each gone through 2heads in 18 years printing 100,000's of labels a year

obviously, the material HAS TO LAY FLAT, it isn't probably why you changed the head in the first place i also have mostly roland experience (some mitoh, no mimaki) but, this is common to all 3 brands i would set the pinch rollers as wide as possible & load a narrow (12") stip of material...
