Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that we did the "Nozzle Wash" and all seems good for now. I will definitely keep an eye on it to see if it happens again in the future, but all is well right now... knock on wood :) Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions!

Ok guys... did the nozzle wash (99 minutes), and that seemed to help it a little bit, its still got a few broken spots in the grid, but its way better than it was... I will check it tomorrow morning to see if it dried up again... if it is bad again, then we will probably try replacing the head...

ohh ok :) then I will go do that now, and i will try the turning the printer off part as well and let it sit till we need to use it again... Thank you so much for all of your help! I will let you know how it goes :) Also 1 more note, we have it to "auto clean" every hour... so it cleans while...

I can try to take pictures, I don't have a good camera right now though :(... I'll see what I can do... And I may try the nozzle wash, but it scares, me, lol... And I cleaned up the capping station pretty well, or tried at least... the wiper is clean too, but the housing around and underneath...

Hey guys, thank you for your replies. It is not the same every time, But it is pretty bad every time. I did my trick of soaking the heads in solution for about 30 minutes, then did 2 hard clean cycles, and it seemed to work for the time being, but I'm sure tomorrow it will be the same issue...

Hello everyone, just wanted to say thank you in advance for anyone who can help me out with this one. I work for an advertising / print agency in Tennessee. We have a Mimaki JV3-160SP and we have been noticing that our blue's aren't as true as they could be. I ran a test print the other day and...
