Suggest that it should be designed as an automated system functions in order to be able to operate reliably and repeatedly.
• Long-term Maintenance
Long-term maintenance means that perform the maintenance work when the whole printing job is finished on every day or the whole system was off. Clean the printing head using suitable cleaning solution or cover the device by caps.
14. Printing head maintenance manner
Printing head maintenance manner: Kincolor flatbed printer should use Kincolor special ink（Please be sure to use Kincolor special ink to prevent worse printing results, even damage printing head and printing head adapter circuit ）The ink has characteristics of dry and solidification. The feature will cause nozzle clogging and deflector, so it’s very important to keep the nozzle moisture. Please notice that use instrument cleaning solution function to clean the printing head in time everyday.
• after started the machine, print the test strip of printing head, if nozzle clogging or deflector happened, should use the equipment cleaning solution function to clean the printing head in time.
• when finished daily printing, use printing head moisture rack to wet printing head. The manner is that put preservative film (anti-corrosion) on the printing head moisture rack and dip the non-woven fabrics into cleaning solution and then put it on the preservative film and push the printing head to printing head moisture rack and fasten.
• when you don’t use the printing head in short time (3-10days), you should clear the ink within the printing head. The manner is that clear the ink within the printing head by using equipment cleaning solution function, and then twist open the connector of ink pipe between at the top of printing head and sub-ink cartridge, so that cleaning solution can flow automatically from printing head. And then operate it according to the second notes above mentioned. (don’t use too much immerse the printing head into cleaning solution for long time)
• If don’t use printing head for long time that would cause more deflector, you can use protective film to seal the surface of printing head, and then transfer the flash printing to 50 times automatically printing for 1 to 3 hours, in this way, it can make printing head work as normal.
• Clean the printing head regularly. The ink will precipitate within the printing head when it worked for a period of time. (It does not mean printing head blockage). You shall clean it by using equipment cleaning fluid function. In this way, it can improve the printing quality.
• when operating the equipment, you shall choose appropriate flash printing frequency. We suggest its frequency shall be 30-50. It also was up to the environment and wet in the operation room. The high temperature or low temperature environment can easily result in drying up the nozzle and affect printing quality.
• you shall choose appropriate voltage for printing head. The higher voltage will crease electrode load of printing head. The printing head will automatically adjust the voltage according to environment and temperature in the operation room. The best operation temperature is 18---22℃.
