FML.Waves in print after new head change

[JLSignsLLC]

3 year old machine gets run everyday. Just had the head replaced on my mutoh VJ 1614 less than a month ago. Everything was fine. Colors looked great. Just started to not want to smash it wish a 20lb maul. Now I am starting to see serious waves in print with a scratch look over the waves. Conducted all test. Nozzle test ok, page feed adjust ok. all parameters to the T. Changed Heater setting up down, completely off. Tried three different brands of vinyl. Everything has been looked over twice. No where left to turn. One thing we did notice is when we set the weaving effect in default job properties to super fine, we are seeing less of the wave and scratch look but it is still very present. Just when you think your are about to see the light another dark cloud appears. Anyone have this issue? Here is a pic of what it is doing:

If you switch the printer to uni-directional does the problem go away?

No sir, It makes no difference

 

[chrisphilipps]

Did the printer print solid blues correctly in the past, If so are you sure that the print head is inserted or calibrated correctly?

Before the head change it was printing almost the same wave without the scratch streaks across the wave. Head was changed along with the maintenance station. Printed fine for about 1 week now back worse than before.

Weird question.

Does this problem come and go. My machines usually give me a trouble in the early spring and early fall. Sudden temp and pressure changes drive me insane.

Also this is happening in All 100% CMYK colors. Not just Blue

Jack, Have not had a problem with seasons changing in the past. I try to keep the room temp at 69.
