Mimaki JV150

I am getting these streak lines in my prints where it look likes something is dragging. I have cleaned everything and overlooked but cannot figure out the issue. It only does it coming from right to left (looking at the printer). I previously had a Roland so I don't know much about this Mimaki. Any help would be appreciated.

Might be a piece of lint stuck on the edge or a printhead. Collects ink mist in heavy ink areas, then brushes it onto the print.

Getting the same thing. Not lint, cleaned around the head a few times and replaced the captop which made it a touch better but still getting it. In another thread someone said to clean the encoder, haven't don't that yet. If you get it figured out, please post what the solution was.

Check the printhead media jam sensor flappy bit...... it is on the right edge of the print carriage. It is a spring loaded plastic flap - ours occasionally will get a bit of stuff stuck on that which will drag across prints.
