Remove Ink From the Table
Remove Ink From the Table
Introduction
How often you need to perform these procedures will vary, depending on printer
usage and work habits.
Remove Ink from Table
Clean ink from the table whenever necessary. Once UV ink is cured, the best method
for removing it from the table is to use a scraper (it is also possible to achieve good
results with a razor blade that is set into a handle/holder). Be careful not to scratch
the aluminium surface of the table when scraping off the cured ink.
Unplug Vacuum Holes
The vacuum holes in the table surface may become plugged with ink and thus reduce
the efficiency of the vacuum. To clear the holes, use an 1.5mm diameter rigid
material (e.g., a paper clip) to ream them out, as required (this is not likely a daily
task, but must be performed as needed).
Required tools
Poly-Wipe Cloth
Nitrile Gloves
Note: When scraping ink off the table be sure to remove all of the dry ink particles.
Use a portable vacuum and then a wet lint-free cloth to ensure no debris is left on
the table that could be picked up by a printhead.
