Heavy ink usage in standby

Hello gents,

I've recently been away from my workshop for an extended period of time and am surprised at the ink usage whilst I was away.
Recently had a service engineer down to tighten up a belt. While he was here he decided that the cleaning settings ( which had been set up by the installation engineer) were wrong. Since then it does seem to be running through a short clean cycle a lot more frequently.
Upon my return I've noticed that the machine seems to have consumed one hell of a lot of ink. By my estimation 1% of each cartridge per day... I'm thinking this is a bit high... am I wrong? I'm sure it was never that heavy prior to the change
Any other mimaki users find the same?
The machine in question is a CJV30-130

Look forward to hearing your feedback

you can always change your settings to a less frequent cleaning cycle, although 1%/day seems low.
