Anti-drying Caps (Ink suction cap)
The anti-drying caps (or ink suction caps) are required to ensure the ink cycle is smooth from
printing to cleaning. Ink may build up on the surrounding rubber of the cap, or the filter on the cap
is clogged, causing the print head unable to be clean properly and may cause damaged to the print
head. If you notice that ink could not flow out of the print head directly, of waste ink unable to flow
down the ink cap properly, maintenance are required on the caps.

droplets on the nozzles.
