I have a mimaki jv33-130 using ss21 4 color inks. The printer runs at least 8hrs everyday. Yesterday in the middle of a print I start getting black lines showing up after every pass. I stop and do a full cleaning, replace the wiper and sponge. Same thing happens after about 6 or 8inches of printing. Did a 90 min. flush twice, cleaned it again. Same issue. Prints perfect for about 6 or 8inches and then the black lines start appearing again. Went to do a cleaning again and noticed that the head looked messy. (pictures attached) Cleaned the head again (picture attached) ran for about 8inches and the lines started again. I've attached pictures of the print issue. I'm leaning towards a head issue because I notice there is just way more ink on the head then normal after hours of printing vs 8inches of print. Has anyone ever had this issue and can point me in the right direction for a solution.
