PRINT HEAD MAINTENANCE
Print head is an important and delicate part of the printer. Thus, it must be handled with care to ensure the long life
of the print heads. For print head maintenance, the following instructions should be taken care:
•
Perform the nozzle test daily to monitor the print head nozzles status.
•
Capping station should be clean.
•
Maintain the water level in the capping station to avoid print head dryness.
•
Colorbar should be ON.
•
Ink Maintenance Station should be clean.
•
Degassing pressure has to be monitored regularly and it should be in between -85 to -95 KPa. In case,
degassing pressure is not maintained, then it may cause the nozzle blockage.
•
If thickness of fabric is changed, check the head height and adjust it accordingly using the software (fabric
thickness option). Additionally, check the bi-direction and step checks.
Precautions:
•
Idle spray should always be enabled with 10000 value.
•
Uneven or partly peeled off glue coating on belt may damage the head nozzle.
•
Don’t
use wrinkled or non-ironed fabric roll, as wrinkle on fabric can cause accidents like entangling of fabric
with head base.
•
Don’t use expiry ink and store the ink at
recommended environment.
