  4. What is this in my print?

    Below is a picture of a print I did and there seems to be color fading in and out of it. You have to look close but you can see it go light and dark and on and on. There are new caps, pumps, and nozzles are all good. Any idea of what it can be? I didn't know if the encoder strip can play a...

    My Mimaki CG 130FX is messing up when it goes to cut. When I send a contour cut through Flexi it will cut the shape out perfectly but it is scoring the entire print while going back and forth. I adjusted the blade up and made sure the blade was clean but it is still doing it. Please let me...
