To print well, you have to maintain the printer well. The weather is getting colder, and digital printing machines will encounter some puzzling problems when using them. The specific situations vary, but most of the reasons are caused by the colder and dry climate in winter. How to maintain the normal printing status of the digital printing machine, the editor summarizes a few precautions below, I hope it will be helpful to you!

Pay attention to the temperature and humidity values in the working room
After the temperature drops, the most common phenomenon is "false blockage" of the nozzle, that is, individual nozzles are "disconnected". Because the viscosity of the same ink will increase as the temperature decreases. If the viscosity is too high, "line disconnection" will easily occur during high-speed printing.
When the temperature is low in winter, whether it is heated by heating or air conditioning, the relative humidity will drop, causing the air to dry. Drying will cause the ink to easily condense on the nozzle, causing the illusion of "clogging the nozzle".
In addition, a dry environment is more likely to cause the printing material to warp. If you are not careful, the nozzle will rub against the print head. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the nozzle and motor.
Therefore, special attention must be paid to the temperature and humidity values in the operating room. The suitable temperature range for the printing machine to work is 18℃-30℃, and the humidity value is between 35%-65%. At the same time, in the winter environment, do not place the digital printing machine in an outdoor environment. If the temperature in the operation room of the digital printing machine is low, air conditioning can be used to increase the temperature and humidification.

Do a good job in dust prevention
Digital printing machines cannot be placed together with machines that are prone to smoke and dust, as they may easily clog the nozzles. If dust and small debris enter the nozzle, the printed image may be broken.
Therefore, when using the digital printing machine in winter, you must do a good job in dust prevention. At the same time, pay attention to cleaning the nozzle regularly to prevent the equipment from being used for a long time, causing dust accumulation and blocking the nozzle holes.

Pay attention to static electricity
Static electricity is the number one culprit that causes the burning of electronic products because integrated circuits are most afraid of static electricity. Static electricity in winter makes it particularly easy to burn out circuit boards and nozzles of digital printing machines.
Static electricity can also lead to a decline in printing quality. Most printing media are "insulated". If the digital printing equipment does not have good anti-static measures or does not have a grounding wire, the ejected ink droplets will deviate from the direction due to static electricity, causing " "Flying ink" or "splashing ink" phenomenon will seriously reduce the printing quality.
Dust, including fibers on the printing material, is also more likely to adhere to the surface of the material, and further adheres to the surface of the nozzle under the action of static electricity, causing print quality problems.
Therefore, when using digital printing machines in winter, everyone should pay attention to preventing excessive static electricity.
To sum up, in winter, the probability of damage to digital printing equipment is very high, so we must take preventive measures to avoid increasing the cost of equipment maintenance. In addition, be sure to clean and maintain the machine and ensure the appropriate temperature and humidity in the work area.
