Mimaki JFX200 Color Bending Issues / Nozzle Drop

I need help, having serious issues with blue colors, nozzles and drop feed are in good shape, air purge, and even positive and negative pressures as advice, ( negative is -2.70 range) and mine is in -2.68 two more two less, same with the positive in the mid 20s if not mistaken. I don't know what else to do, few times a week I left it soaking in nozzle wash over night and no luck. Today I even manually add some nozzles into the system and still no luck.

Could anyone advise me what could be wrong? The only thing I'm waiting is for a new bottle cap for blue ink since is not closing correctly, that could be the issue? If checking the voltages could help, where can I find that info.

Thanks in advance

It's a feed compensation setting not being correct. See how the cyan and the red (mostly magenta) are all banding at a regular interval? Heads are firing fine, just passes are slightly too long and you're getting a tiny gap between them.

Also, we have a Mimaki section in the forum at https://www.signs101.com/forums/mimaki.208/
Thats under DROP.POScorrect in the function menu correct? (Manual 3-8) When I try to do it in the lower dpi i only get one pattern, and even with a magnifying glass looks good in the position I selected. On Higher dpi it prints two patterns and they look good as well. Any idea what I'm doing wrong to correct the issue.
I really appreciate it

Are the lines running in the X or Y direction?
