Do a similar process, the only difference is that instead of doing Head Cleaning, apply ink removal. Carry out the procedure 2 times with spare Dampers and cleaning solution. I was away for 8 days, the L1800 machine printed great before I left (the prints came out very well). I came back, cleaned the dampers, loaded the ink and, to my surprise, the fourth white ink injector was almost 3 cm in the middle completely covered. For the next time I don't trust myself and lower the head and clean it outside.

@ursdubel3585 2 года назад

Muy grande este Kingdom DTF 👍What about cleaning the printhead and letting the cleaning solution in the cartridges (system) when you go to vacation and just simply run another cleaning when you come back? I am not sure if its a good idea, because the cleaning solution got strong alcohols in it wich may harm all the rubber and plastic parts if you let them soaked for a long period of time. Que piensas ?

@KingdomDTF 2 года назад

This video is old, strong cleaning solution is not recommended to use as wet capping because for a long period of time. That is why there is wet capping solution that is less aggressive and can be left for longer time.

@Trendzya 2 года назад

Yes, you do maintenance after finish printing to keep head ready for next day.

@RamboyJey Год назад

is it okay that there is slight bubbles in the dumper especially white and other cmyk colors

@KingdomDTF Год назад

That means it have air inside the dampers or line. Use a syringe to pull ink and eliminate the air.

After doing the cleaning with the solution, do you let it sit for a few hours or can you go ahead and put your ink back in and do your print nozzle check?

You can go ahead and print after cleaning, the idea is to get good nozzles so you can print good jobs.

Hi. Epson L1300. In the red I have just one nozzle that does not print the one next to it print about half what it should, every other color and nozzles print perfect. Problem is i can see that missing line in colors that use red. How can i clean just the red to get rid of that line, I have taken out the head and pushed cleaningf solution through, did not help. How would u unblock that 2 nozzle lines. Its not bad but not good for perfect prints

@KingdomDTF 2 года назад

Using a good cleaning solution. Try to use hot distilled water and push to the nozzles.

@pramodgunjal 2 года назад

So if I clean the print head with your method, (which is far more smarter than anyone out there) I don't have any need to unscrew the print head, take it out and clean it manually?

@KingdomDTF 2 года назад

It depends. You will need to take it out at some point if is very clog and you and to un-clog. I will try to have another video showing how you can "bath the printhead".

@tsungpiozukum3654 2 года назад

Can we leave the damper filled with cleaning solution and keep it like that for a month or week's??

@KingdomDTF 2 года назад

You need to do a wet capping with the wet capping solution to keep head underneath moisture to help not to clog. There is one red solution that can put there and also in the nozzle of head and the head is good for 30 days or so, that is for vacation mode but I forgot the name. One of our managers is in talk with one company to bring that solution.

@moea3735 3 года назад

How often do I do head cleaning and do I do it before I print or after when im done?

@KingdomDTF 3 года назад

Before you start printing you do a nozzle check, if is good no need for head cleaning. If nozzle check is not good then you need to do cleaning until nozzle check is good so you can maxima the print. You cleaning any time your nozzle check is not good.

Hi, I am facing a very strange issue. First I was using the Ink Circulation system but always have some issues. Today I removed the ink circulation system, & connect the pipe directly with ink tank. No matter how many head clean or power clean I do. After the first print, my second print has a very thing transparent white layer. Its like printer not sucking white ink. But white ink is full loaded in damper. I think When I do head or Power clean. First print is fine because of the white Ink left in head. Seems its not using/sucking white ink from damper. Now what should I do I changed Ink Cirulation to direct because of this issue Now I am very tired of these things. ANy suggestion?

@KingdomDTF 3 года назад

Is the nozzle check coming good for you? Try to elevate the ink tank about 3-4 inches, just put something underneath and remove the rubber caps so air flow better. Also don't forget to shake the white ink. If you have white ink circulation just keep using it, I think is better.

@faris330 3 года назад

I lost one printer head before because I went on a trip and when I came back the white lines were half blocked. Although I did a lot of printer head cleaning before going using the original cleaning solution. I also made sure the system was disconnected and the caitrage was removed and the head was clear from all ink. I tried to unblock using cleaning fluid and I even bought an ultrasonic cleaner but it didn't work (half of white nozzles were blocked). so then i bought another printer head and its working ok. I'm planning to go on a trip next week and I don't want to have the same problem. Can you please advise me what is the best way to clean a head and save it if you are going away for two weeks. Unfortunately I ran out of printer head cleaning solution, So i'm thinking of using (original windex cleaner and mix it with isopropyl alcohol). Any tips?

@KingdomDTF 3 года назад

Ultrasonic should work with an strong cleaning solution. When doing ultrasonic you need to start slow and have patience. The most I can tell you is clean it, don't leave it with ink and they put more cleaning so the head stay moist and capping station.
