Epson ET 8550 Issue Printing

[sjohnson]

Hi! I don't even know how to explain this issue. It's not banding due to clogged nozzles - you can see that issue in my black ink.
It's a vertical stripe down the print. In the exact same spot every time. It's the left side of the print as it comes out of the printer. It doesn't matter what color, or what I print on.
I am currently using it as a DTF printer with DTF inks.

Can you check other driver settings - another paper type - another quality level

I found the culprit. The printhead kept hitting this every time it would reach a certain point. I tightened up the plastic and taped it.
