Mimaki JV3 Color Banding Issue

[JonPypes]

Having an inconsistent color banding issue with my Mimaki JV3-160s. Pictures attached. Never seen anything like this. Anybody have any ideas? Tried printing from 2 different rips, multiple different profiles and medias, messed with the feed rate. I've tried everything you can possibly imagine. The nozzle check looks fine.

Fotgot to mention all those images are supposed to be solid color.

Are your heaters actually working? They may say they are on but put your hand on all three to verify. Looks like the heat is off. If they are working are they actually hot enough?

slow down your printer, there is a fast mode and slow mode when ripping in Flexi ..., it will improve dramatically , it has to do something with the moisture in the air...,
I get this sometimes really bad just as yours... sometimes better sometimes worst also make sure that the fan rack is not tilted so it blows on the heads, tilt it down..
Let me know if that helps...

Check the pump/tube to see if they are working properly. If there is no proper suction on the heads ink condensation can prevent the head firing properly.
