    Hi all,
    I have a few questions about printer Mutoh SDMP-82E (Spandex Jetster).
    When you print something the beginning is OK, but after some time it start to draw/paint 🙂 blue lines that are not suppose to be there.
    For example if you print a map and a lake is blue and white area around it starts like stretching that blue from lake. Later it does just simple starts to draw lines every pass everywhere.
    I heard that it can be because of low temperature?
    Maybe someone knows how to "fix"?
    Hope you understood what I wanted to ask 🙂
    Thank you.

    make sure that all data cables are seperated as far as possible from the power cables.

    however i think you will find that this is down to the head reaching end of life. i have seen it a few times on older generation Roland printers.

    hope this helps.

    Thanks for reply Mark,
    do you know if heads are expensive, is it difficult to change one?
    It is an old printer and it was rarely used before and I thing that might be why all those printing problems started.
