    Mimaki JV3 PRINTING BROWN NOT RED? AFTER HEAD SOAK

    Posted by Praveen Jayawardene on March 30, 2011 at 11:25 am

    Hello Guys,

    Can anyone help with the following below :
    Red is printing as brown.

    Did a overnight head soak.
    Next morning ran test draw to see if all 4 colours were ok
    Colours were almost all black.
    After a few hard head cleans the 4 colours came good.Magenta took a while but eventually came good.

    Now when i print red it prints brown ?
    Why would this happen? No settings have been changed prior.

    Any help would be great.

    Cheers,
    Pj

    The ink will probably have been syphoning up the line from the capping station turning it mucky.

    If your head test is coming out fine as perfect CMYK then dunno.

    Might be worth manually pulling the ink through – if you can on a JV3
