When a DTF printer fails to come out ink and is blocked, the main manifestation is that there are horizontal stripes on the surface of the printed document, and some colors cannot be printed at all, especially when printing images and text. This situation will occur with almost all the DTF printers. There are many reasons for the print head clogging. If you don’t know why the DTF printer cannot come out ink, you can first check it by following the steps on the computer.
First, Finding and clicking the name of the printer on the computer, select “Printing Preferences”, click “Print Head Maintenance” – “Print Head Check”. If there is a blockage,and the problem cannot be solved because the blockage is too serious, it is recommended to ask a professional to handle it.
The main culprits for the DTF printers ink coming out and being blocked are as follows:
1.The influence of the voltage on the print head. The appropriate voltage is very important. If the voltage is too low, it will affect the printing effect, and if it is too high, it will cause clogging.
2.The impact of static electricity on the DTF printer and ink. This is also one of the reasons why the DTF printer is required to be grounded.
3.The ink quality is not up to standard, causing the print head to become clogged.
4.Ink viscosity that is too high will make the ink stick in the ink tube, resulting in insufficient ink supply and insufficient ink ejection. This phenomenon is more prominent especially in winter.
5.If the ink viscosity is too low and the ink is too thin, the ink jet speed will be too fast. When the ink is sprayed on the cloth, it will be reflected back to the print head, causing the ink to accumulate on the print head, and the print head becomes clogged.
6.Rapid changes of the temperature and humidity can damage the print head and ink, which may make the print head be clogged.
7.The impact of working habits on the print head. For example, there should be no dirt or hard objects on the capping to avoid scratching the print head during cleaning.
8.The impact of cleaning methods on the print head. It is recommended to use a soft sponge or sponge swab to wipe the print head . Do not use normal tissue.
So, how to solve the problem of the DTF print head clogging and no ink coming out? KONIN recommends that as long as you pay attention to the above points, it will not be easily blocked and the service life of the DTF printer will be longer.
