Dripping Ink

[zgraphics]

I just recently changed out one of my ink M and the print
started printing great until the M ink started dripping and ruined
my print. Does anyone know of anything? or how to solved this
problem. It's driving me crazy because i have 96 2x4 ft/ banners
to print. any help would be greatly apppreciated.

it would help to know what type of printer your running.

But the drip usually implies you have some debris stuck on your print head that is allowing ink to pool and drip. similar to the way water runs down a stalactite.

sounds like a good cleaning is in order.

What OA said ..

Also: I had that problem on my Mutoh outdoor and was fixed by a new damper.

Just what OAD said, that happened to my Mimaki just last week and there was a small pc. of lint on one of my heads, I removed it and problem was solved.

As stated, lint on the heads. On my Falcon Outdoor 48, I have to remove
the black cover plate at the far left end. Make sure the lever is in the down
position. Drag the carriage all the way over to the left where the cover plate
was so that you can reach under with a soft lint free cloth and cleaning
fluid or alcohol. Wipe off the two rectangular heads, especially around the
edge. If there is lint on them you will usually be able to see it. I have to do
this all the time, especially after printing banner material.
