This is a common issue many people face with their DTF printers, especially after replacing dampers or printheads. The steps outlined below are specifically for a Binterjet printer. If you're using a different model, consult your owner's manual for the appropriate procedure (if you have one đ).
Letâs say youâve just replaced your dampers, powered up the printer, and your print and nozzle check look terrible. What should you do next?
- First determine which lines you replaced the dampers or where you are having issues with your nozzle check.
- Then trace the cap station line back to the caphead
- now disconnect the tubing from the coupler leaving the tubing to the pump.
- take a syringe and put in the tubing.
- very slowly pull back on the plunger pulling some ink and air bubbles out of your tubing.
- replace the capline back into the capstation line.
Another way to accomplish this specifically on the Velox / Binterjet:
- Go to your control panel on your printer
- hit menu / head cleaning
- scroll until Fill cycle
- This will run all four lines, consuming more ink and taking a bit more time. However, it avoids the risk of accidentally spilling ink near your cap station or in your printer.
