Test Print is slightly Off!

[Turbophein]

Roland SP300v printing on oracal 3165ra

ok so afters hours of trying different things this is where i am at. the test print has 1 row slightly off. i added pics.

new encoder strip and sensor, cleaned the Head and cap. i removed and reinstalled the head cables, i did every test and calibration available, not sure how to adjust the way the head is printing right now. It is very fuzzy on the edges of all the prints.

i already ordered a new head, won't ship till monday and i will get it tuesday. rather not be down that long if there is a solution. Help would be great!

replace the head.
if you need it running asap.... swap the yellow head with the magenta. you'll hardly notice yellow overspray.

on the sp the magenta/yellow is the same head.

Also replacing the head is always the easiest solution.

Our VS-640's head was recently trashed by bad ink and we got new one. Even though our technician cleaned the whole system some must have remained somewhere so a few days later we had already lost a few nozzles. I called him up and he came within an hour, he used a syringe to clear the nozzles (DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF, if you don't have experience, you can very easily damage the head).

My personal opinion is that replacing the head should always be the last solution but that's just my $0.02
