Daily Maintenance:
• Nozzle Check: Always print a nozzle check at the start of your day to identify missing lines before printing.
• Clean Capping Station & Wiper: Wipe away any ink build-up from the cap top and wiper blade using a clean, lint-free cloth and the manufacturer-approved UV cleaning solution.
• White Ink Agitation: White UV ink is highly prone to settling. Manually shake or agitate the white ink cartridges/bags daily to prevent pigment separation and clogs.
Weekly & Mid-Production Maintenance:
• Clean the Spit Tray & Honeycomb: Remove the spit tray honeycomb and soak it in UV flush to break down built-up ink residue. Dry it completely before putting it back.
• Clean UV Lamp Lenses: Regularly wipe the glass lenses of the UV lamps with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol to ensure proper curing power.
• Lubricate Rails: Check the carriage rails for debris and lubricate them according to your specific model's user guide to ensure smooth movement.
