Due to environmental issues, ink accumulation on máquina de impresión DTF printheads may occur on occasion; this situation will affect printing quality and print disconnection; if ink accumulation is severe, ink may drip onto print media, causing the finished picture to be scrapped. Today, Sublistar DTF printer factory will analyze the causes of ink accumulation in print heads and provide solutions to prevent such failures.
The phenomenon of ink accumulation on print heads is caused primarily by a layer of misty fine ink droplets on the print head’s surface, which results in frequent nozzle missing during printing. The main reason could be that the continuous ink supply system is too high, and the indoor temperature and humidity are different from the DTF shirt printer’s normal operating temperature.
For these reasons, there is no panacea on the market; however, by following the normal printing operation process and working carefully according to the working requirements of the DTF shirt printer, this type of problem can be avoided.
Daily care and maintenance of DTF printer nozzle:
If the nozzle is not used for a long time in holidays, the impresora DTF nozzle shall be taken out, and the nozzle shall be repeatedly cleaned with special cleaning liquid to ensure that there is no ink inside, and then packed with plastic bags.
At the same time, it is recommended to conduct printing test and normal cleaning before daily operation. When the printed color is uneven and unstable, clean it, darken it or the brightness is different. Please use the same settings to print the same data. And regular manual cleaning according to your use frequency.
