Caps

The Ink Stack Cap and Ink Suction Nozzle are crucial components for maintaining the performance and lifespan of Epson i3200 printheads, which are widely used in Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing systems.

Ink Stack Cap (Capping Station):

• Function: The ink stack cap, or capping station, seals the printhead when it’s not in use, preventing ink from drying and clogging the nozzles. It also plays a key role in the printhead cleaning process, enabling ink and cleaning solutions to be drawn through the nozzles for effective cleaning.

• Maintenance: It’s important to regularly inspect and clean the capping station. Over time, ink residue can build up, affecting the seal and potentially causing printhead issues. Periodic replacement of the capping unit ensures continued optimal performance.

Ink Suction Nozzle:

• Function: The ink suction nozzle works alongside the capping station to draw ink through the printhead during cleaning cycles. This helps eliminate air bubbles and debris, ensuring consistent ink flow and high-quality prints.

• Maintenance: Keep the suction nozzle clear of blockages to ensure proper operation. Regular maintenance helps prevent clogging and disruptions in ink flow.
