Nowadays, digital flatbed inkjet printer is developing rapidly and has been widely used in various industries. There are growing number of people that are going to start up a business with a small or large format flatbed printer. However, improper operation will lead to a lot of problems. Today, we would like to share with you 6 precautions when using a flatbed inkjet printer.
1. Careful Printhead Maintenance
When carrying out manual operation such as exhaust, pipe adjustment, printhead wiping, we should do a good job of dust prevention and static protection during the whole process, avoiding dust absorption to printheads caused by improper operation, so to avoid nozzle clogging. Besides, wear protective gloves and use special dustless cloth that has been soaked and cleaned when wiping printheads. For more detailed operations, you can follow the guidance of printhead maintenance document provided by the manufacturer.
2. Replacement of filters
Regularly filter replacing is necessary. Filter is an important link of printhead protection under normal working. A part of the residue will accumulate after being used for a long time, which will affect the efficiency of filtration, thus affecting printhead and machine.
3. Regular ink system cleaning
After long running time, ink system parts such as ink cylinder, filter, ink tube, printing head and so on, will have a amount of ink particle deposition adsorption. Timely and thorough cleaning is conducive to the overall operation of the printing machine and the stability of later production.
4. Observation of Software Parameters
The software parameters should not be modified at will, and it is necessary to regularly backup the various configuration files to prevent the rapid recovery of kinds of equipment data in case of accidental collapse. Besides, regularly kill the computer virus and repair the loopholes in time is commendable.
5. Regular ink stirring
UV flatbed printing ink is composed of inorganic pigment, organic solvent, dispersant and so on. The proportion of pigment is far greater than the solvent, the pigment particles will settle down to the bottom of the container after a long time and form a color layer, which is called precipitation. Regular ink stirring can prevent precipitation generation. In addition, the choice of good ink is also essential.
6. Daily maintenance of equipment body
Equipment body, non-working frame, printhead shell, boards and other parts, also should be cleaned up in time. And check for air leakage, ink leakage, bubble, ink deposition and so on. During cleaning operation, pay attention to disconnecting printhead power supply, releasing static electricity, and doing dustproof measures.
The market outlook for the UV flatbed inkjet printing is impressive. A good machine can help you make more money. The premise of a good machine is the correct operation and careful maintenance.
