Dye-Sub Printer-Precautions When Using Ink Tube for Long Time

Dye-Sub Printer needs to periodically clean the internal ink tubes, because after a long period of use, the particulate matter in the ink gradually accumulates, which may block the ink tubes. A special printer cleaning solution can be used to clean the ink tubes. The cleaning solution is a kind of "detergent" formulated according to the characteristics of the ink. Its main function is to have a strong flushing ability, a dissolving ability, and a better fluency of the ink in the pipeline. Let me briefly explain how to use the cleaning solution correctly:

First, when new dye-sublimation printers are installed, it should be noted that before each machine is shipped, the machine is filled with ink, and there are protective liquids in the pipes and ink heads. The solubility of the ink in the protective liquid is not as strong as that of the cleaning liquid, and the protective liquid has some influence on the fluidity of the ink, and the phenomenon of drawing (in the high-quality mode) and the oblique flow of the ink hole often occurs. Therefore, we require that the cleaning fluid must be used to clean the pipeline when the machine is newly installed. Avoid the phenomenon of drawing and ink hole oblique spraying.

Second, use the cleaning solution to clean the wiper and ink pad of the sublimation printer regularly every week. Pure water and alcohol have low solubility in ink, and alcohol has a slight corrosive effect on the blade. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use pure water or alcohol to clean it.

Third, regularly use the cleaning solution to clean the ink line of the digital sublimation printer. It is recommended to clean it once every 3-6 months. When the ink is used for a long time, there will be deposits on the wall of the tube, and the attached matter will affect the fluency of the ink, and the cleaning liquid has a strong solubility to the attached matter, so the pipeline should be cleaned regularly.
Fourth, sometimes the working environment is relatively poor, the static electricity of the machine is relatively strong, and many cotton-like dust will adhere to the surface of the ink head. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the ink hole will be obliquely sprayed and blocked. Regularly drip the cleaning into the ink pad to make the ink head more moisturizing.
