JV100-160 Magenta ink dripping from the printhead

[fieldy]

Hello, how are you?
I'm from Mexico. Maybe my translation isn't very good, but I hope I can make myself understood.

A month ago, the magenta head 1 started to leak while I was printing. I've already cleaned it and nothing. The problem continues and it's staining the vinyl. People tell me that the magenta damper may be damaged. Has anyone had a similar experience? And how can I fix it?
Best regards.

Sounds like a bad damper, I think part number M022253.

ok thanks! I already ordered it from Aliexpress and I'm waiting for it to arrive since I can't print without it throwing ink

You might also want to check your sponges. I found that one of mine was completely saturated with ink and would build up on the head area and drop on the print area.
