Managing White Ink and Varnish
Varnish does not require any special handling and regular printhead
maintenance is adequate. White ink is re-circulated in the system to limit
any settling of the ink. For this to take place,
the printer must be left
powered on at all times
. Regular maintenance is required to keep the
white printheads functioning properly.
Note that white ink may require additional purges.
Before you begin
If your printer includes the white ink or varnish option, all ink bags must be
present and all must contain ink or varnish in order for the printer to
function properly.
