White Ink Option
Introduction
If your printer has the white ink option and white is not printed on a regular basis, pigment
settling can occur in the white ink printheads. During periods of white ink inactivity the printer
will automatically try to maintain the white ink channel using the following methods:
• ink recirculating
• spitting
• AMS cycles
Additional efforts may be required to recover nozzle performance for the white ink printheads.
CAUTION
Wear eye protection and nitrile gloves when handling or cleaning ink. Also, when working
around ink protect your clothing and any exposed areas of skin.
Recovering White Ink Nozzle Performance
Equipment
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Gloves (for example: Ansell Microflex 93-260)
• Foam Tipped Swab (3010118211)
• Cloth-Poly Wipe 10cm x 10cm (lint-free)
• Isopropyl alcohol - IPA (>= 98%)
Procedure
1.
Open the clear plastic door of the Secondary Ink Bay and agitate the white ink bag.
2.
Select the
White Ink Nozzle Check Print
icon from the Special Prints list in the Tools user
interface. Input the appropriate settings for printing (offsets, media thickness, lamp power, etc).
3.
Print and then evaluate the nozzle performance.
A general guideline is to do a standard AMS on the white ink channel if:
• more than 2 nozzles outs exist in a single printhead
• 2 or more adjacent nozzle outs exist in a single printhead
• more than 4 nozzle outs exist in a single color channel
4.
If necessary, perform a standard AMS on the white channel.
5.
Reprint the
White Ink Nozzle Check Print
to evaluate results.
6.
If white ink nozzle performance is still not at an acceptable level, perform a Long AMS (purge) on
the white channel.
7.
Reprint the
White Ink Nozzle Check Print
to evaluate results.
8.
If white ink nozzle performance is still not at an acceptable level, swabbing with Isopropyl alcohol
(IPA) is required.
9.
Dip the foam end of the swab in a small container of Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution. For best
results the swab should be fully saturated with alcohol.
