If we want to extend the life of the DTF printer and the best performance of the DTF printer, Therefore, safeguarding DTF printers is critical. If the maintenance of the printer is ignored, it will cause various problems during printing, such as blurred printed images, inconsistent printed colors, etc. Let's learn how to carry out the maintenance of DTF Printer together!
Learn about the important components of a DTF printer
a. Printer Printhead The print head is one of the core components of a DTF printer, and it is an important factor in determining print performance and print quality.f the printhead is clogged or burned during the operation of the DTF printer, the whole printer will not work properly, which will have a great impact on the operation of the whole machine.
b. Printer mainboardThe mainboard is another important part of the DTF printer. It mainly controls the DTF printer.
c. Printing RIP software It is responsible for converting digital image files into a format that the printer can recognize. It also serves to manage color information in digital images, control the printing process and manage the ink supply system.
Regular maintenance of the DTF Printer
a. Printhead maintenance
If the device is not used for more than three days, it is recommended that you keep the print head moisturized to prevent the print head from drying and clogging.
If there is no printing work for a week, I recommend cleaning the print head once a week. What we need to do is to observe whether there is any debris on the surface and around the print head that needs to be cleaned, move the printer carriage to the cleaning position, use a cotton swab dipped in flushing liquid to clean the dirty waste ink near the print head, and then use a clean non-woven cloth dipped in flushing liquid or distilled water to clean the dirt on the printhead.
If you want to clean the printhead better, please watch our video below to show you how to clean the printhead.
b. Maintenance of the printer motion system
Regularly add grease to the gears and add an appropriate amount of grease to the long belt of the trolley motor to effectively reduce the working noise of the printer!
c. Maintenance of the printing platform
Keep the printing platform free of dust, ink, and debris, and ensure that the printing platform is clean and tidy to prevent damage to the printhead.
d. Weekly cleaning and maintenance
Check the guide rails, wipers, and encoder strips of the DTF Printer at least once per week. If there is dust or debris on them, clean them up in time.
e. Maintenance of the printer ink tank
In daily use, tighten the lid without delay after the ink tank is filled with ink to prevent dust from entering.
It is worth noting in daily use
1. We try to use original ink. Original ink has quality assurance. If inferior ink is used, the print head is prone to clogging, resulting in poor image quality of the finished product.
2. Follow the procedure to turn off the DTF printer. When shutting down the machine, first turn off the control software, then turn off the main power switch, making sure that the printer carriage returns to its normal position and that the print head and cap station are fully closed.
Note: You are require wait until the DTF printer is completely turned off before turning off the power and network cable to minimize unnecessary damage.
