Notation Regarding Changing Ink Brands
Your FreeJet320 TX shipped with OmniPrint Textile Ink. With a normal inkjet printer, it
is a very common practice to change from the manufacturer’s brand of ink to third
party inks. However, this can result in poor quality prints and mechanical failure when
using specially formulated textile inks. All
textile inks are NOT created equal
and
should not be mixed. Although not recommended; should you decide to try another
brand of textile ink in your printer, before doing so you MUST flush out the entire Bulk
Ink System using a special flushing solution available from OmniPrint International.
Additionally,
use of non OmniPrint Inks will void your warranty.
Failure to perform this process can result in a mixture of the two brands, creating a
chunky mess that might clog in the ink tubes. In fact, this mixture will permanently clog
the Print Head. OmniPrint is not responsible for any damage to your printer or
replacement of the Print Head should you use another manufacturer’s ink. If you do
experience problems with another manufacturer’s ink you must contact THAT
manufacturer for any available remedies.
1. Your FreeJet TX uses a specially designed Bulk Ink System that holds about 200
ml of ink per color (x8) and allow for easy re-filling as needed.
2. Your printer comes with 8 oz. (250 ml) bottles of
Cyan
,
Magenta
,
Yellow
and
Black
OmniPrint Ink, along with 500 ml of OmniPrint Bright White. You will also
have 8 ink bottles. 1 bottle will be used to hold each of the 4 colors and 4 bottles
will be used for Bright White.
3. During initial setup, and whenever ink bottles run low, you must fill them
manually. Choose an area where spills will not do much damage and protect the
area with newspaper, paper towels or a drop cloth. It is recommended you also
wear disposable gloves.
4. To fill a bottle, refer to the color coding on the bottle holder for the correct ink to
add, then remove the cap and pour the ink directly into the bottle. DO NOT
overfill the bottle. It is recommended that the bottle be filled to the top of its
widest part. Filling the bottle beyond this point may lead to spillage.
5. Twist the cap onto the filled bottle and repeat the procedure for each color until
all eight Bulk Ink bottles have been filled. Please note that the air hole in the
bottles should be clean and clear for air to flow through, additionally clean rim of
bottle to insure no ink builds up at the rim or cap.
6. The bottles are positioned in the bulk in carriage with the ink line tubing inserted.
Do not remove the ink line from the bottle when filling with ink. Keeping the ink
lines in the bottle will help to insure the same ink color remains in the ink lines
and bulk bottles.
D. Fill the Cleaning Fluid Container:
1. USE ONLY FreeJet Cleaning Fluid—full strength.
