What Rip software are you using? If its Versaworks it may be a wrong profile setting.
For example you are using a Matte Calendered Vinyl profile (MCVP) but you are printing in a Glossy Vinyl.
Your problem is definitely the ink. I would consider changing ink to at least RedGiant brand but you'll have to flush the lines and print heads to avoid clogging problems, using cleaning cartridges.
Some ideas
Hi,
1. Clean the encoder with alcohol
2. If the head carriage board led is not on, check the cables that come from the Main Board to the head carriage.
2. If printer says "temperature low" your black printhead may be damaged but first make sure the cables are properly inserted...
My best guess is that printer is not leveled and the ink is flowing towards the printhead, even though you haven moved the machine make sure its leveled.
Another idea is to check the auto-cleaning intervals. how much minutes pass between every cleaning or is it off?
It all depends on how fast do you want your printer to be, i haven't seen any issues with full width off, just faster printing.
The setting is not on Versaworks its only on the printer menu.
Calibration
Maybe the printhead needs bias/vertical calibration, horizontal and bi-directional too, not sure if K is the key printhead on your printer. Ive seen this on other Roland printers and with proper calibration they worked fine.
