The Capping Station
The capping station is located in the right end of the gantry. The function of the capping
station is to prevent the printheads from drying out when not in use. The capping station
is essentially a tray supporting 24 solvent saturated foam pads, one for each printhead.
The tray also provides drainage for excess ink and solvent. Excess ink and solvent are
collected under the capping tray and funneled into the waste bottle. While capped, each
printhead’s nozzle plate comes in contact with a solvent-saturated foam pad. Solvent is
automatically pumped up to the tray at regular intervals to ensure all the pads are suitably
soaked.
