Tube Washing
Because sedimentation occurs easily in White ink, the
whiteness may decline or becomes uneven if you
continue printing in white. For the best results, wash the
tube periodically. A message is displayed on the control
panel when the White ink tube needs washing.
You do not need to perform periodic tube washing for
color ink.
Tube washing can also help to clear clogged nozzles. If
clogged nozzles are not cleared even after performing
head cleaning several times, try washing the tubes for
the target ink.
Tube washing replaces the ink in the tube with the
cleaning liquid, and then fills the tube with the ink again.
Prepare ink cartridges and Cleaning cartridges because
You may need new cartridges depending on the
remaining amount. We also recommend having a new
waste ink bottle ready because a message may prompt
you to replace the waste ink bottle if there is not enough
free space in the current bottle.
