mimaki JV3-130spii stops printing in middle of the job

[Rich May]

We print from Flexi 12 and Mimaki JV3-130spii been printing perfect but 2 days ago it started printing and stops laying ink during the job but continue like its printing. I end up shutting the machine off turning it back on but wasting so much material. Does anyone know possible solution?

It completely stops printing. I see the print starts getting little fuzzy and they stop putting ink down and head continue like its printing by no ink is laying down on material

Cleaned metering strip seem to fix it

Hm, I don't think so, because I have problems with encoder strip and It was that every pass was misslining and shifting colors. If you have printing mashine which stop firing at some time of printing it can be like: bad damper, clogged line or cassete(CISS). Give some pictures.

if when you clean encoder strip was ok...then buy new strip it isnt expensive and hard to change.
