Compress IUV1200 issue

[BriMarie]

Hi all,

My machine started putting vertical and horizontal lines through all of my doormats. I’ve cleaned my encoder stop and carriage tracks and wheels. I did purchase a new encoder still which I’m waiting to arrive.

Any ideas why this is happening ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Get rid of the machine and purchase a different one.
Compress have multiple suits against them (in Australia at least) and no one says any nice words about them.

Failing that, is it always in the same position? Is it one particular colour? Have you tried different art?
Try to troubleshoot from the simplest option and work through up to the hardest (eg swapping out heads or boards).

that looks like a head dragging across the print to me. Possibly your mat wasn't completely flat?

Trust me, if I would have known this 2 years ago. I wouldn’t have purchased it. It doesn’t matter what design I print. It literally started doing this today.

That’s definitely what it looks like but I’m sure the head isn’t rubbing the mats. I’ve even lowered the bed just to see. Same thing.
