Mimaki JV2-130

[carneage]

Hey there all
i have a JV2-130 that is doing some strange things, (i suspect print head alignment but i need some help) doing a test print on the machine it was in the corner and looked good, but once i start doing a good A0 print the print is dropping out of the left of the print and looking hazy, i have photos (it wont let me load them) any one have any ideas on what to do??
thanks
nick

just went to the mimaki, new thread, and the attachment option worked for me. maybe it was temporary?

so it is dropping out like ink starvation on the left and looking uncallibrated? have you moved your printer lately? is the carriage possibly going uphill towards the capping station? do try to send some pics. they will be really important for such a strange issue.

i will work on the photos. but yes the machine has been moved, (i suspect that the guide rail is not square), and the printer is on the level i have checked it is level, i will get photos up tomorrow when i have time at work, you may have it with starvation and uncalibrated any idea how to fix?
