Ink is bleeding?

[@Stephanie84jane]

Can someone please tell me how to fix this? We've cleaned it and cleaned it. Last time it did this we just kept printing and eventually stopped. We don't know what is causing it or how to fix it. I dont know the tearm for it, bleeding?, overspray?, leaking ink?, smearing? Its been 5 days and I don't know what to do. All colors are doing it. Please help.

It's most likely a failing head but you can try changing the head cables out to see if they're causing the issue. What does your nozzle check look like?

I'd call that overspray. Are you using OEM ink? Is the ink within the expiration date? Is the printer in a warm enough environment?

 

[@Stephanie84jane]

Its not oem, its jet tech ink. Its definitely not expired, and we have it in a building at 70 degrees.

My printer did something similar once, tech advised me to clean the decoders strip. Don't know if that will work for you but couldn't hurt.

 

[@Stephanie84jane]

We did that too

Do you have a tech support group you use for your printer? I bought my printer through GSG and if I email them a picture they can usually clue me in on what to do for most problems.

5 years ago I did with sign warehouse but I've been so disappointed with their support I dont use them anymore.

I had the same issue before few years ago with the Cyan ink only over spraying, it turned out to be a bad batch of OEM UMS Cyan ink. I had to replace the printhead as the damage was permanent.

With many confidence i would tell you that is just printhead cables or printhead connectors dirty or like solventinkjet said, a failing printhead. But begin checking for dirty connectors or ink in connectors

I would call that overspray.

I would call that overspray.

Hi! Uf, no, overspray is pretty different issue. This is clearly an electrical issue, with cables, printhead or mainboard... But 90% of times is just cleaning and seating cables

Mine will do it if printhead is too high
