    Try his needles(have him do his needle/bar bend), tubes & ink brands on yours to see if its the brands you use doing it.Also I would check to see how his motor/piston etc are lined up as compared to yours-maybe something is out of alignment.

    It's only happened to me once and that was with my bizarre v2, I emailed stigma about it and 10 minutes later a very nice chap from Germany phoned the shop to talk me through stripping the machine and cleaning it properly, he then told me he thought the problem was too much bend on the needle bar making it ride the top of the tube, I've sinced changed wher I bend the bar to just at the solder a slight bend down and then again one finger space back an it's never happened since
