Ever faced printhead clogging issues? Here's why it happens:
Ink Drying: Extended printer inactivity or open ink cartridges expose your DTF printhead to ink drying, causing blockages.
Impurities: Low-quality or expired ink might carry impurities, clogging nozzles. Store ink properly to avoid inkjet traffic jams.
Maintenance: Regular printer maintenance is key. Built-up ink leads to blockages, impacting print quality and risking printer damage.
Wear & Tear: Over time, printheads can wear out or be damaged due to misuse, causing uneven ink flow and print issues.
Now, let's check a few tips how to keep your DTF printer purring like a kitten:
High-Quality Ink: Use high-quality inks (like DTFPRO inks) to avoid impurities and keep your printhead jam-free.Regular Cleaning: Clean your printer inside out, especially the printhead, to prevent debris-induced clogs.
Use It or Lose It: Regularly use your printer to prevent ink from turning into a stubborn, clog-inducing paste.
Maintenance Cycles: Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions to keep your printer in top-notch condition.
Storage: Store ink cartridges in a cool, dry spot to prevent ink evaporation or drying.
Handle with Care: Treat your printer kindly. Rough handling or incorrect installation can lead to printhead damage and pesky clogs.
