Red Black Colors Bleeding

[rgaskins]

Hello, printer has been doing great for year now...For the last few months I have been having this problem...Seems to be only when black meets red or say orange...Not haveing problems with other colors...Using the same profile and media as always, so I can rule that out...Maybe need new captops? Thanks for any help...

What media is it? Does this happen only with THIS file or all files. What type of ink is in the machine? What mode are you using?

Have you tried doing a manual cleaning?

Interesting as I was actually obsessing over a similar issue last night.
(machine was clean and doesn't happen with the other colors)
Here is a pathetic image where black doesn't match well when meets red. Not bleeding, but??

How are your temp settings?

having the exact same problem, had a print head installed last week. looks like maybe too much black? I slowed the print head down and turned the heat up, looks like it helped a little

I've been doing a little research and it could be the media, did you try a different material? could be a bad batch

just did a print on a different vinyl, looks a lot better

Thanks for all the replies...I almost always use IJ180 CV3...Here is what I did to fix my problem...Did a very good manual cleaning...Also replaced captops and wipers...Works perfect now...Thanks everyone!!!
