the printhead touch the cap station

[matejgt]

Hello!
I have an question, during printing my VP540 every time lightly touched the cap station, I dont know is this normal or not! I do the video, but it hard too see, every time when the head move in limit right position, the cap station lightly move, because the head touch it! I would be happy for your opinion if this is right, thanks.

The head surface doesn’t touch the cap rubber, it’s just drops inks into the cap for refreshing and goes back to printing

The head hits a part of the capping station that raises it up a little so the ink makes it into the cap. It sounds weird but it's how the Mimaki printers do it as well.
