    Our grenadier leaves a magenta over-spray when printing onto anything. I don’t think it’s static as it does the same on paper.
    It’s the SP 1400C model and we’re using colourific bio solvent inks.

    I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas

    Thank You

    That print head is about to finish it’s carrier. It’s time for a new one. You can buy it from Digiprint in Belgium. It’s 560 Euro/piece. They also have interesting discounts sometimes.
    Good luck!!
