How To Improve Your Print Effect With Inkjet Printer ?

In recent years, inkjet printing technology in a wide range of industries, inkjet printing to facilitate the production, but how to use a good inkjet printer, how to strengthen the inkjet equipment, process management, good professional reserves and so on , Are the current must pay attention to the problem.


First, the management of inkjet professional technicians
Inkjet than the roller, screen printing in the personnel skills on the higher requirements, in addition to understand the basic operation of inkjet, but also have a certain computer, transfer capacity, have a stronger sense of responsibility, so inkjet personnel management should focus on In the skills training, discipline system constraints.
1, inkjet technicians should be familiar with the basic mechanism of inkjet equipment and operation, know how to change the ink process, proficient, skilled PS version, the correct maintenance and maintenance of inkjet equipment. Can solve the inkjet printing process appears drawing, drop ink, ink, ink, hanging ink and other common problems, can correctly identify and deal with inkjet equipment alarm failure.
Training work mainly for the above issues, and must be practicing training, after the practice of assessment can be posts.
2, personnel discipline and system management. In addition to the personnel who have been allowed to access, other personnel without the consent of the workshop manager to prohibit access to the inkjet room, inkjet printers to supervise the management of responsibility.
3, the inkjet software parameters in addition to the designated training of the inkjet in charge of the staff, the rest of the operator shall not be free to prevent changes to the parameters of inkjet equipment to work properly. Regularly back up the configuration files on the machine so that the system can quickly restore various settings and restore production due to an unexpected crash. Inkjet device USB interface prohibit the insertion of U disk, generally only inserted through the special anti-virus processing U disk, otherwise the system is infected by the virus, easily lead to computer operating system and inkjet software system failure or error.
4, equipment failure, must be handled by professional maintenance personnel. Machine failure, or pull the line in the cleaning nozzle is invalid, the immediate shutdown notice inkjet management.


Second, the management of inkjet ink
1, manage the ink into the factory acceptance. Each batch of ink into the factory should be sampled to check the ink color, ink viscosity, the proportion of ink, if the three indicators and the standard sample no difference, you can think of this batch of ink qualified, of course, there are other indicators of ink, but the manufacturer No need to put the appropriate testing equipment for testing.
2, the management of the use of ink. In addition to the provisions of the ink, but also should be careful not to add the wrong ink, add the wrong ink after the re-cleaning takes a long time, delay production. If the ink in the ink tank for more than a month did not run out, should promptly update the ink, otherwise it is prone to plugging and so on.
3, manage the precipitation of ink problems. Because the ink is composed of inorganic colorants, organic solvents, dispersants and other ingredients, long-term after the toner particles will settle to the bottom of the container to form pigment layer, known as precipitation, precipitation, the ink viscosity will be reduced, hair color will Weakened, other indicators will change, but the ink after standing precipitation is a normal phenomenon, is inevitable.
Properly manage the ink, reduce the precipitation, pay special attention to the following:
1) Store the ink in an indoor temperature of 15 to 25 ° C.
2) as soon as possible in the shelf life (within 6 months) run out, the sooner run out, the lower the risk of ink problems. And should be planned in advance warehouse warehouse ink inventory, should not be stored too much, and arranged to store the ink on the machine once a week to shake the ink to reduce the settlement, is conducive to the use of production, re-production should be 10 to 15 days before the single stocking.
3) ink before use, the application of red ink and redistribution, shake ink time should be more than 30 min, which 10 min roll once the ink bottle. After shaking ink, do not rush to open the lid, should be standing for more than 10 min, so that the bubble fully eliminated. When opening the lid, pay attention to aluminum foil do not fall into the ink tank.

Third, the inkjet printing process technology management
Inkjet production on the stability of the field process has a relatively high demand, need attention. Usually require pre-printing blank temperature can not be higher than 45 ℃, and glaze volatilization of water vapor should be as low as possible, or easily lead to hanging ink so that ink drops; too high billet temperature and water vapor will lead to nozzle, board life shorten.
Inkjet process management should pay attention to detail management and quantitative management, after the first understanding of the production number, check the standard version and inkjet effect, check the belt speed, jet height and other parameters, if in doubt immediately asked the shift staff, check the amount of ink, Must be added in time.
Check the temperature of each cartridge once every 1 h, whether the vacuum degree is different from the set value. Check the flow of the natural return pipe of each cartridge once every 1 h, and must flow above half the tube. Every 1 h to clean the belt scraper once, to prevent the accumulation of dust affect the normal operation of the inkjet. Strictly monitor the printing effect, every 1 h on the printing effect, pattern, color and sampling once and make a record. Every 2 h must wash the nozzle once, there is a serious increase in the number of cleaning line cleaning. In normal production, the inkjet machine must use the automatic flash spray function to protect the nozzle.

Fourth, the management of inkjet printing equipment
Scientific management of inkjet equipment, both to extend the service life of equipment, can reduce the occurrence of equipment failure, improve production efficiency. Ceramic inkjet equipment management, the main focus on the nozzle maintenance, filter replacement, ink system cleaning management, maintenance management, inkjet working parameters and software management, fault management and so on. Specific details include the following:
1, nozzle maintenance. Production and shutdown should pay attention to the maintenance of the nozzle, the production should be automatically every hour an hour cleaning nozzle, for exhaust, tube, wipe the nozzle and other manual operation, to do the whole dust, Electrostatic protection, to avoid improper operation caused by dust adsorption to the nozzle caused by plugging and other defects. Wipe the nozzle should wear protective gloves, the use of infiltration cleaning fluid dedicated clean cloth, spray nozzle in the same direction of the same direction to wipe. Wipe once every wipe to clean the clean part with a clean cloth. Spray hole parts and nozzle sheath to separate the wipe, is strictly prohibited by the jacket to the nozzle part of the wipe.
Routine maintenance should also pay attention to the overall cleaning of the nozzle clean, in addition to the nozzle area is the most important, the non-working surface of the rack, nozzle shell, board, etc. should also be cleaned up in time. Pay attention to check whether the inlet and outlet ink leakage, leakage ink, bubbles, ink precipitation and other anomalies. Cleaning operation to disconnect the nozzle power, let go of the body of static electricity, good dust control measures.
2, scientific and rational use of filters
1) Regularly clean the entire ink system. Running time after a long ink tank, filters, pipes, nozzles, etc. will have a certain ink particles deposition adsorption, timely and thorough cleaning is conducive to the overall operation of the inkjet and post-production stability. Need to pay attention to the cleaning must be completely clean, or may be due to sediment loose and not clean up lead to nozzle plugging, the effect is not good. According to the actual situation of ceramic production line, usually in the end of the kiln overhaul when the thorough cleaning ink Road.
2) regular replacement of the filter, usually every 2 months to change once. Filter is an important part of the normal operation of the nozzle protection, the use of a long time there will be part of the residue deposition, affecting the efficiency of filtration, increase the ink pump, circulating pump work intensity, easy to damage the ink pump and circulation pump, Leading to lack of ink.
3) do downtime maintenance
Inkjet machine is not in production, in addition to automatic micro-spray and other maintenance measures, the manual should be manually squeeze ink cleaning 2 to 3 times, continuous high-dimensional maintenance with 20 to 30 times. At the same time check the main technical parameters and ink system, print the state diagram to check the status of the nozzle, so that problems in a timely manner. For a long time do not produce the ink should be appropriate to reduce the operating temperature. Reduce the amount of ink stored in the ink tank, regular printing consumption and then add the amount of new ink.

Fifth, the use of inkjet environment management
In order to reduce the environmental dust on the nozzle pollution, the need for inkjet room environment for strict management.
1, inkjet room need to maintain a positive pressure. Positive pressure environment is conducive to reducing the concentration of environmental dust, according to the relevant personnel pointed out that the best positive pressure of the inkjet room can be expressed by a basic formula: inkjet room required the best positive pressure air volume = ink waste ink Fan air volume +1000 m3 / h (fixed positive pressure), the greater the room volume, positive pressure required air volume of the fixed value is a corresponding increase.
2, to keep the room temperature at 18 ~ 24 ℃, humidity in the 40% to 65%. Good temperature and humidity, is conducive to equipment cooling and inkjet system stable work.
In order to maintain a good inkjet environment, we must also pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the inkjet room, such as into the inkjet room to be replaced slippers, non-inkjet staff, without permission shall not enter; each class on the outside of the inkjet Wipe, every time dragging the ground; regular fan, air filter, air conditioning filter maintenance.

With more and more inkjet machines put into use, the factory in the follow-up management must be further improved. "Want to do good things must first of its profits," the scientific management of inkjet will become more important.

Do You Know Why Your Printhead Always Block?

Inkjet printer are an important device for digital printing today, and various types of inkjet printers appear to meet different types of digital printing. Inkjet printers with low print speed, such as: Oric inkjet printers; printers with high print speed, such as: Epson inkjet printers; inkjet printers with wide print widths, such as: Roland inkjet printers


Inkjet printers appear in different models, greatly expanding the scope of application of inkjet printers. Large to outdoor banners, textiles and clothing, metal materials, small pillows, mobile phone shell, mug, etc. small gift industry, you can use inkjet printers to print, the application of a wide range.


Printhead is one of the most important parts of inkjet printers, printhead is good or bad, whether the normal use, directly related to the normal use of inkjet printers. Some inkjet printer printhead is particularly easy to plug, inkjet printer printhead why plug? Inkjet when the machine's printhead does not produce ink, resulting in lack of color content screen, usually called "nozzle plug", is the impact of picture quality and yield of the main factors. Of course, "plug" is also a variety of reasons, generally have the following circumstances:


1, the ink in the printhead to a certain extent after the outside of the printhead hole is blocked: the most common way of plugging, because the ink must be volatile in the air to the air in order to make the screen dry, so the ink is a volatile liquid, in the The air is volatile and clears solid. When the ink is sprayed on the fabric, it will always leave a portion of the ink around it. This part of the ink will dry slowly in the air to make the nozzle smaller or even block the printhead, but because it is outside the printhead, it is easy Clean up, which is why we often clean the printhead of the reasons.

2, the piezoelectric crystal damage: sure that the printhead can not spray ink, the general piezoelectric printhead can be used for a year or so, in the inkjet workload of many factories may also use less than a year is normal.

3, the piezoelectric crystal fatigue damage: the phenomenon is sometimes spray printhead inkjet, and sometimes spray the ink, especially in the large amount of inkjet (that is, when the dark screen) "jam" phenomenon is obvious, the best way is to replace a new printhead.

4, the printhead inside the filter blockage caused by the printhead no ink: the use of a longer time the printhead, especially in the inkjet task is not full stop at night the factory, the ink does not flow in the nozzle for a long time, easy to adsorb in the internal filter Mesh or ink on the wall, so that the flow of ink cross-sectional area will also cause the printhead no ink phenomenon, and now dedicated equipment can help you solve this problem.

5, the viscosity of the ink is too high or too low: the viscosity of the ink is too high to make the ink flow is poor, the amount of ink sprayed per unit of ink is not enough; ink viscosity is too low, that is too thin, easy in the nozzle pressure When the transistor pumped in the air, can not absorb the ink, which is sprayed out of the air; both will cause the printhead no ink phenomenon. It is important to ask the customer to store the ink environment, and it should be better to use the ink for more than 24 hours before using the ink because the ink will have a high viscosity at low temperatures and the viscosity at high temperatures Becomes very low, this viscosity is very different, once the viscosity difference between the larger ink mixed together, it will cause the phenomenon of ink can not spray.

6, the drive circuit failure: the drive circuit of the electronic device aging and accumulation of too much dry ink dirt, may affect the drive printhead voltage, causing the printhead no ink or ink instability.

7, the type of ink: some manufacturers of ink due to improper control of the amount of desiccant, dry too fast, easy to cause the ink in the external blockage, although you can clean, but the cleaning time interval is more frequent, once a long time without the nozzle and not timely When the printhead is protected, it may cause permanent damage to the printhead at the next time.

8, frequent replacement of ink: the replacement of ink in many cases may not protect the printhead, but also affect the printhead inkjet state.

9, the machine uses the ambient temperature and humidity: the general recommended temperature of 22 to 25 degrees, humidity 40 ~ 70%, high and low temperature affect the viscosity of the ink, the nozzle will produce ink phenomenon or paste the phenomenon, often mistaken Think of "printhead clogging".

So in daily use, regular and reasonable cleaning and maintenance of the printhead is necessary, if you have no way to understand, please feel free to consult us.

Do You Know Continuous Ink Supply System for Large-format Inkjet Printers (3)?

Has been introduced in front of a continuous ink system encountered a failure, how to solve. In front of the five aspects, and now introduced the following six aspects.


(6) The printer is idle for too long
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ printer idle for a month without use, and now work is not normal.
    ◇ printer is not often printed, three months after the problem.
    Solution
    When your printer is idle for some time, the following three things may happen:
    If the ink level of the external ink cartridge is lower than the horizontal level of the printhead, the air can be fed into the print cartridge from the printhead, since the return force of the ink in the ink supply line to the external ink cartridge is greater than the ink flow to the print cartridge, At this point the ink inside the print cartridge will have a small bubble, the ink in the tiny bubbles will cause the print disconnection.
    ◇ If the print head is returned to the initial position (the right side of the printer), the leak of the rubber gasket on the edge of the ink tank below the nozzle will also cause the adverse effects of the surrounding air on the printhead, causing the ink to dry and oxidize.
    ◇ If the printer is placed for a long time in high temperature, dry, direct sunlight environment, the same will cause the ink pipeline and print the ink in the nozzle to accelerate the evaporation, drying, bacteria and oxidation, for very thin and transparent ink pipeline Even more so.
    The following are our effective measures to avoid these failures, please follow the order of steps:
    ◇ Before you prepare for a long time without using the printer, perform a nozzle check to ensure that the printed test leads are intact. It is best to print about 10 consecutive four-color or six-color block test chart (depending on your printer, the default settings to 360DPI print), and to ensure that the normal test results.
    ◇ Press and hold the cleaning button on the printer panel to give the cleaning command. Unplug the printer from the right side of the printer and start painting when the printer is performing cleaning (push the ink cart to the left, Use a soaked damp in hot water to gently scrub the rubber gasket on the rightmost side of the printer, which helps keep the seal clean and resilient, and then dries the cleaning guards into the ink tank. Sponge (drop full), and then manually push the ink back to the right side of the printer can be.
    ◇ observe the external ink cartridges color ink level of the highest height, raise the external ink cartridges so that the height of the printer and the nozzle to maintain the same level. Remember not to exceed the level of the nozzle! You can pad the book to keep this height.
    ◇ Finally, keep the printer and the continuous ink supply system in a cool, dark environment.

   (7) installation failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ print in progress red light.
    ◇ ink in the printing process and the printer on both sides of the edge of the chassis friction.
    ◇ pipe on the back of the adhesive stick is not strong.
    Solution
    Ink line should not be too long. Adjust the length of the line from the pipe frame to the print cartridge to the optimum position.
    ◇ If the pipeline to the print cartridge ink pipeline length is too long, it will cause the ink pipeline in the printing and printer on both sides of the chassis friction. Should be taken back to the best length. Method is to perform the printing process to unplug the printer power, manually pull the car to the far left, and then to the far right, in order to ensure the printing of ink cartridges under the premise of this ink line to the shortest.
    ◇ If the length of the ink line to the print cartridge is too short, it will cause the red light to be printed. Should be adjusted in accordance with the previous steps to adjust to the best length.
    ◇ print process in the ink line and the printer on both sides of the edge of the friction situation occurred in the EPSON 780 /
790/810/820/830 /
C61 and other models, these models have a common characteristic: the upper part of the casing is curved on both sides. Although the use of finer and softer ink pipeline to avoid this friction, but the thin and soft ink pipeline is prone to blockage, ink and other phenomena, so do not meet the requirements of continuous ink supply system. Our ink lines have a high coefficient of friction, its toughness, strength and diameter are in full compliance with the international advanced continuous ink supply system design requirements. For such models, in order to weaken the ink pipeline and the edge of the friction, you can put the pipe frame on the right side of the printer, you can.
    ◇ pipe frame on the back adhesive is not strong, you can replace the new adhesive, and then paste.

   (8) lubrication failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ print the ink truck hit the right side of the printer, while abnormal sound.
    ◇ The printer feeder does not work or the paper feed fails.
    ◇ The printer feed flashes and prompts "communication error".
    ◇ print position is not normal, left offset.
    Solution
    Similar problems arise mainly in the EPSON 700/780 /
1200 models, the cause of the malfunction is caused by the ink cart belt bounce, the lubrication of the truck spindle can solve this problem. With a paper towel dip LB-A lubricating oil on the main shaft, back and forth to push the ink so that the oil can be evenly coated on the shaft. Remember not to lubricate the oil droplets or spray on the spindle, not to let the oil dripping from the shaft.
    Perform the following steps to eliminate the impact of ink and abnormal sound phenomenon:
    ◇ printer in the boot state, unplug the printer power plug, this time the car will be in the right position of the initial position.
    ◇ In the black ink cartridges corresponding to the bottom of the cart, there is a small white limit block. Can be found with a flashlight.
    ◇ with a tweezers to the white limit block forward (for their own) to dial down. Manually pull the cart from the initial position.
    ◇ At this time the power is still off the state, the ink truck pushed to the far left, until the push until the move.
    ◇ plug in the printer power, or turn on the printer's power switch.
    At this point the printer ink stroke belt will bounce and reposition the initial position, the ink cart will eventually stop at the right of the printer's initial position.

   (9) color failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ color document print out is black and white.
    ◇ print out the color and the original color compared to serious distortion or even the opposite.
    Solution
    Check if you are using B & W ink or print settings in black mode. If it is not, then perform a nozzle check, print test line to see, if the test line has a serious disconnection, please perform three cleaning orders, and then print the test line. After such a procedure, there are still serious disconnection after 3 times. Please use the troubleshooting method in "Bubble in Cartridge". If the test leads are normal, print a four-color or six-color block test chart (depending on your printer, print in 360DPI default settings). Compare with the standard patch test chart to check if the color sequence is wrong during assembly. Normal four-color machine color order: yellow (Y) → magenta (M) → cyan (C) → black (K). The normal six-color machine color order: yellow (Y) → light red (LM) → magenta (M) → light blue (LC) → cyan (C) → black (K). If it is determined that the color order is wrong, remove the ink supply line of the continuous ink supply system for thorough cleaning and replace the original original cartridge or empty cartridge.

   (10) ink failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ continuous ink supply system in the initial installation or normal use for some time, the print test page is always one or several color disconnection, and other colors normal, repeated cleaning test results the same.
    ◇ found in the use of certain colors (relatively fixed color) often clogged the pipeline, plug the nozzle and disconnected.
    ◇ print color compared with the original color is large, or black is not black, or gray partial green, reddish.
    ◇ print portrait photos when the level is not enough delicate, not rich, there "wearing a headset" phenomenon.
    ◇ from the external ink cartridges can often see the sediment in the ink.
    Solution
    The above fault is caused by improper selection of ink, we recommend that you choose to provide you with all kinds of ink. EPSON is now compatible with the production of ink manufacturers, different quality, use different. In our labs, physical and chemical testing of thousands of ink combinations, high quality and stability of the ink is rare, and beyond the original EPSON ink performance or comparable with the combination is rare. Although you do not have to choose to achieve the image of the professional level of ink, but one thing should be noted that: continuous ink supply system should use the ink must be better than the ink used in compatible ink cartridges, and compatible ink cartridge must be better than bulk Ink with ink. In other words, the ink used to produce compatible cartridges is not necessarily suitable for continuous ink supply systems.
    Many brands of ink are subject to strict physical and chemical analysis, a long period of stability testing, color is high, high density, good saturation, professional for the continuous ink system equipped with high-quality ink, you can ensure that the above does not appear bad.
    If you only buy a continuous ink supply system accessories, but prefer to use their own selected ink, then you should at least from the following aspects of the basic test: 1, six months, the pipeline does not clog. 2, within three months the ink does not produce precipitation. 3, within a month will not dry knot, plug the nozzle. 4, 15 days does not produce serious dislocation. 5, within five days does not produce overnight disconnection. 6, the assembly is completed no more than three cleaning (including natural cleaning). 7, print color is only slightly color cast, black is. 8, gray is not green, not reddish. 9, print the head is not faint side.

   (11) cleaning failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ print ink cartridge appears below the ink, the beginning of the print part of the print noise.
    ◇ When the cleaning command is executed, a strange sound is emitted.
    ◇ In case of no intervention, the printer sometimes executes the cleaning command automatically.
    ◇ The red light on the printer panel and the green light alternately flash.
    Solution
    Cleaning the nozzle command is to clear the print nozzle, excluding air bubbles containing ink, to ensure that the print effect and set, because EPSON for each printer are set to protect the ink counter, when the printer's cumulative inkjet volume reaches its maximum, the panel The red light on the power and the green light will flash alternately. At this point to the maintenance station to replace the printer inside the waste ink tray, and the ink protection counter cleared before they can work properly. So the use of the printer to try to avoid too much cleaning,
Cleaning too many times, out of the part of the ink will penetrate the bottom of the print cartridge, appear ink and affect the print quality. Some printers also emit a strange sound while cleaning. At this point should stop cleaning, with paper towels will be clean ink, put 30 minutes and then continue to work, the problem naturally eliminated.
Continuous ink supply system with permanent chip will increase the excess cleaning: shut down after 10 seconds to open the machine will automatically clean; interrupt the print command will automatically clean; sometimes in the absence of operational intervention will automatically clean the case. And the results of each cleaning will make the permanent chip count value is restored to full state. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of unnecessary cleaning, it is recommended not to use the permanent chip after the frequent switching power supply.
    For ink protection counters, if you print a large amount, it is recommended that you use a set of 600 ml of ink each time after the clear maintenance, through the implementation of EPSON maintenance software can be achieved.

Do You Know Continuous Ink Supply System for Large-format Inkjet Printers (2)?

This time, we followed the last description, talk about how to solve the situation when the ink system meet problems.



Six, Solution for the ink system 
   (A) bubble failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ continuous ink system has been working for a few months, and now can not print.
    ◇ every day in the normal print before the implementation of many times to clean the order.
    ◇ print the test line is always a fixed disconnection.
    ◇ just start the test line is normal, but after printing a few pages appeared disconnected.
    ◇ print is always missing (usually black)
    ◇ external ink cartridges on the low has been a long time, and now ink pipeline is not into the ink.
    Solution
    The above phenomenon is due to the ink bubbles in the cartridge caused by the bubble. Continuous use of the ink supply system After six months of use, a small amount of tiny air bubbles from the ink and the accumulation of a small amount of air bubbles from the printhead into the print cartridges gradually expand the ink. Maintenance methods are not complicated, take out these bubbles for the normal ink can be. Incorrectly lowering the external ink cartridge will also accelerate the formation of the ink bubble, even if a continuous ink supply system using EPSON original ink cartridges is used.
    To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
    1, the continuous ink system from the printer to remove, after removal, the print cartridge should not be inverted, to be placed on the same level with the external ink cartridges. If a seal plug is used at the initial installation, insert the seal plug into each outlet of the bottom of the cartridge. For EPSON late production of the cartridge with a memory chip models, because the ink port with a valve, so no need to seal the plug. Install a new or used EPSON original ink cartridge on the printer. This cartridge must be an unpacked, unpacked, undamaged original ink cartridge. The genuine original EPSON cartridge can guarantee the correct test result , This step is essential.
    2, print the ink car after homing, the printer will perform a natural cleaning time, please perform the nozzle check print test line. You can repeat the cleaning and printing test line 3 times, until the test line is completely normal. And then print a four-color or six-color block test chart (depending on your model, print settings in 360DPI
/
Plain paper mode), color test chart must be printed continuously 3 to 5, while observing the printer is working properly. If the print has an exception, repeat the above steps. If you do not have more than 3 times after cleaning, the printer is still not normal, allowing the printer to rest for 12 hours and then test. In most cases the printer can return to normal.
When the printer prints the color chart is stable, it is ok that your printer nozzle is intact. Once you have reached your printer's normal conclusion, you can continue with the following steps to maintain your continuous ink supply system.
If you still can not print properly after using the above method, please contact the EPSON service center or contact the printer repair shop for repair. Although at this time non-continuous ink system failure, contact with us can still get the appropriate help. Before deciding whether to repair the EPSON service center, please remove the parts and labels of the continuous ink supply system and do not refer to EPSON using a third party ink or continuous ink supply system, only that you are using EPSON original ink cartridges and Explain the phenomenon of failure can be.
    3, when your printer is working properly, the following steps can make your continuous ink supply system back to normal.
    Add 50 ml of disposable syringe tube (remove the needle) with a small elbow and insert it into the ink outlet at the bottom of the print cartridge connected to the continuous ink supply system and begin to dip out of the cartridge slowly. Should be through the ink through the pipeline from the external ink cartridge inhaled into the print cartridge, and then by a steady stream of inhalation into the syringe tube. When the syringe tube is full, observe how much ink and foam will be drawn to see what causes the continuous ink supply system to print poorly. The printer does not print the bubble-like ink normally, and you must pull them out through the syringe.
Unlock the ink cartridge from the external cartridge and inject the ink from the syringe into the external cartridge. This process does not waste ink, and the foamy ink turns into liquid ink after two hours.
This ink extraction process is repeated with a syringe until almost no foam is seen in the extracted ink. This takes about 100 ml of ink to be recycled. That is, it is necessary to repeat the two ink extraction process.
Note: the ink extraction process to be slow, you can pause, do not be too fast.
According to the yellow → light red → magenta → light blue → cyan → black order to carry out the above ink extraction process, color change operation, be sure to use warm water to clean the syringe. If your cartridge uses a sealing plug, the other ink outlets are sealed with a sealing plug when operating on a color chamber.
    4, the ink cartridges together with the continuous ink supply system back to the printer, according to the operation of the second step to test debugging until normal.

   (B) pipeline blockage failure
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ Many times the implementation of the ink extraction process, the syringe pumping force needs a lot, and the majority of the air out.
    ◇ have a completely disconnected (usually black)
    Solution
    According to the "bubble generation in the cartridge" troubleshooting program, if it is found that there is a great resistance when drawing with a syringe, and no ink flows into the syringe, it can be concluded that the pipe is clogged, Pipe clogging phenomenon and its handling methods, please check and troubleshooting in order.
    ◇ out of ink mouth blockage.
    Check the method: the external box above the seal plug, inverted. From the external cartridge out of the ink tube, check the Yao is blocked.
    Exclusion method: with the syringe needle into the ink mouth, you can clear.
    ◇ ink clogged clogged.
    Check the method: the ink out of the elbow from the cartridge, and then pull out the ink from the ink line elbow, check whether the blockage.
    Exclusion method: clean the elbow with water, blowing with your mouth, you can clear.
    ◇ ink pipeline blocked.
    Check the method: to ensure that the ink out of the mouth and the ink elbow are not blocked, with a syringe from the ink cartridges ink, if the ink inside the ink cartridge does not float, can be inferred that the ink pipeline blockage.
    Remedy: first check whether the ink at both ends of the pipeline caused by foreign body blockage. If there is a short crystal or foreign body, you can use straightened paper clips to remove it; if it is blocked through the long pipeline parts, please contact the local dealer to buy a new six rows of pipelines (four rows of pipelines).
    ◇ The air filter of the external cartridge is blocked.
    Inspection method: In the above three may have been excluded circumstances, can be judged as an external cartridge air filter plug.
    Remedy: Clean the air filter, dry water, you can. [6]
   (C) the chip is damaged
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ ink on the printer instructions red light is always bright, shut down and then open is also invalid.
    The decoder is not valid after decoding the cartridge.
    ◇ The printer does not perform cleaning after pressing the cleaning key.
    ◇ When the print job is canceled, the ink on the printer indicates that the red light is on.
    When the computer is restarted, the ink on the printer indicates a red light. [7]
    Solution

 1, EPSON models. The disadvantage is that the cartridge is removed and then returned, the print will be broken, you need to have a repeated cleaning and testing process.
    2, if it is a cartridge with a chip model of the above phenomenon, please carefully check whether the following possible:
    The ink cartridge is not installed in place.
    The chip position on the cartridge is not correct.
    ◇ chip on the chip stylus deformation.
    ◇ chip damage.
    The first two cases through the operation can be troubleshooting, as long as the adjustment of the location of the chip, the cartridge gland pressure on the ink cart on it. The third case can be found by observation, this failure is because there is no fixed chip installed and forced to remove the cartridge caused by! The But because of the repair will have to have the experience of maintenance personnel will be removed from the printer nozzle, and then remove the needle to correct or replacement. For the case of chip damage, the use of the decoder on the original cartridge chip memory refresh mode, it will often appear, then you can use another decoder to re-refresh once, if it is not normal, can only replace the chip. Continuous ink supply system is equipped with a real permanent ink cartridge chip, because the installation of continuous ink supply system does not need to remove the cartridge to decode, the possibility of chip damage is very small. At present, the regular manufacturers of the system for the production of the chip are very high quality, but the installation of the same time there will not recognize the machine, the solution can use the skin, is the student with the rubber, repeatedly wipe the chip position. The re-installation is basically a recognition of the cartridge.
    3, the method of decoding the chip to refresh In addition to hardware, software technology has developed rapidly, but some software in the use of abnormal problems or damage to the printer caused by the depth, so before use must have a senior technical staff Do the guidance, do not do not try to grasp, because the various software usage varies, limited space here is no longer one by one introduced. Should keep in touch with us in order to get the latest software technical support.

   (4) ink gravity phenomenon
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ When printing, there is a small ink dot on paper.
    ◇ print on the paper often appear when the large leakage of ink spots.
    ◇ Regardless of what paper to print, there are always some ink on the edge of the ink.
    ◇ The printer feed roller always has some ink stains.
    ◇ print the test line is always broken, and the phenomenon of color string.
    Solution
    A siphon breakpoint is designed in a continuous ink supply system. If there is no such design, the ink will flow along the ink from the external ink cartridges automatically flow to the printer, resulting in leakage, broken wire failure. Our filling technology for empty cartridges allows the filling of empty cartridges to have a small portion of the air space, so that these air is suspended at the top of the cartridge is very necessary.
    The following conditions can cause ink gravity to cause printing to be abnormal:
    First, the external ink cartridges raised, the liquid level than the print nozzle horizontal 50 mm, due to ink flow within the ink gravity caused by gravity, then the ink will flow out from the print nozzle, lift the higher the faster flow. At this point the print head to withstand the exceptionally large ink pressure, printing will appear leakage, broken, the color of the string and other very serious situation.
    Second, the print cartridge is too much ink, because there is no siphon breakpoint, ink pipeline and print cartridge as a whole, even if the external cartridge is not raised, will lead to slow flow of ink. At this point there will be printed ink leakage, broken the phenomenon.
    Third, the external ink cartridges raised, the liquid level than the printing nozzle horizontal 30 ~ 50 mm, this time the ink will not flow, but the nozzle is also subject to the static pressure of the ink, so the same print will be broken, the phenomenon of color string The
    Fourth, the external ink cartridge is lowered, the liquid level is lower than the horizontal level of the print nozzle 300 mm. As the ink gravity in the ink supply line causes the reflow of the external ink cartridge, the air enters the print cartridge from the print head, The lower the air, the faster. At this point the print will be out
Is broken, the color of the string and other very serious situation.
    If any of the above problems occur with your printer, check that the fault is caused by an elevated or lowered external cartridge. (Warning: continuous ink supply system in use requires external ink cartridges must be placed in the same level on the printer !!!)
    Eliminate the above first, three, four cases caused by the failure of the method is very simple: the external ink cartridges placed in the same level with the printer, wait 2 hours after the print on the natural normal. And for the second case caused by the failure, the following steps can be ruled out:
    ◇ put the ink elbow from the print cartridge on the set, on the high, pay attention, do not let go, the ink will flow out from the elbow.
    ◇ Let the printer start working, playing the picture A4
5-10 sheets, and then the elbow can be inserted into the printer cartridge, be careful not to insert the wrong color. If necessary, perform the cleaning and printing test program in the application and debug the printer properly.
    If there is a lot of ink stains in the paper path, you can find a color spray paper, wet the paper with alcohol, and then press the paper feed button on the printer, so that the alcohol soaked in alcohol 10 times, can play a very good cleaning effect.

   (5) ink cartridges leak
    Fault phenomenon
    ◇ normal use, an ink pipeline appeared throughout the air.
    ◇ normal use, each of the ink pipeline are filled with air.
    Solution
    As mentioned earlier, the continuous ink supply system connected to the upper part of the print cartridge has a short section of air is always present, this is to avoid the siphon principle caused by ink gravity phenomenon. If you see some small air bubbles in the ink line, do not worry, they will be printed on the upper part of the ink layer to absorb the absorption, which is normal.
The air layer in the upper part of the cartridge will expand or contract with the change of the indoor temperature. If the ink is not more than 150 mm in the ink supply line at the interface with the print cartridge, this is due to the air layer Expansion caused by, is a normal phenomenon. However, if the entire ink line appears air, this is the ink cartridge leak or refueling elbow interface is not caused by the seal.
    If there is an air in the entire section of the ink supply line, check the seal at the ink filler and the print cartridge. You can remove the ink elbow to check out, and then re-plug like. If each of the inking lines is filled with air, check that the print cartridges leak and replace the ink cartridges (in most cases, the cartridge labels are not sealed).

Do You Know Continuous Ink Supply System for Large-format Inkjet Printers (1)?


I. Overview
1 Concept of interconnection
Continuous ink system for short, it is in recent years in the field of inkjet printers to appear in the new ink supply. The continuous ink system, which uses an external ink bottle to be connected to the printer's cartridge, so that the ink bottle will provide ink to the ink cartridges, is so-called "company." The biggest benefit of the continuous ink system is that the price is much cheaper than the original ink. Second, for the large amount of ink, add ink convenient, general color capacity of 100ml, than the original ink cartridges at least 5 times times more. Its three even for the quality of ink is steadily rising, better even for the ink will not block the nozzle, there is a break to clean several times on OK, which provides a strong guarantee for the survival and development of the company.
2 Principle of the system
The system uses the siphon principle, which is that in two containers with liquid and connected by a siphon, the liquid always flows from the high pressure container into the lower pressure container. We know that in the printing process printer cartridges will flow to the nozzle ink, in the delivery of ink, the ink cartridge pressure is also falling, need to inhale the same volume of air to maintain pressure balance, the system is to replace the air from the cartridge vents with ink, and the ink cartridge is also added to the same capacity when it is conveying ink to the nozzle. Ink, supplemented into the ink cartridge in the external large-capacity cartridge through the hose to transport, external cartridges can be readily replenished ink, This ensures that the ink cartridges in the printer are always supplied with enough ink for the printhead. In addition, some also appeared a kind of use fluid mechanics principle of the automatic ink-supply system, according to the manufacturer, its ink supply than siphon system more stable, and can be applied to all types of inkjet printers, the actual effect of this product has yet to be tested.


II. System Structure
The system is made up of three parts, such as external cartridge (ink bottle), hose and bracket, inner cartridge (ink sac) and so on.
1. Outer cartridge
The outer cartridge is a large capacity ink container that is placed outside the printer and is usually molded from plastic injection molding. The external cartridge capacity is larger, usually each color is above 100ml, also has specially prepares for the home user small capacity to connect the system, outside the cartridge each color capacity is approximately 50ml. The outer cartridge is usually provided with a ink hole to facilitate the addition of ink, there is also a vent hole to maintain the pressure balance inside and outside the container. For the outer cartridge, the control ink liquid level is a very important problem, the ink liquid surface height will cause the external cartridge pressure too large, so that ink flow into the printer's waste ink warehouse in vain, and the ink liquid surface too low will make the ink cartridge in the pipeline to the outside cartridge backflow, resulting in air from the print nozzle into the inner cartridge, so that the ink cartridges produced tiny bubbles, and these tiny bubbles will cause the phenomenon of print disconnection. In order to avoid these problems, usually require the outside cartridge ink liquid surface to be slightly lower than the printer nozzle, but with the consumption of ink, the ink cartridge inside the liquid surface will continue to decline, which requires timely adjustment of the height of the outer cartridge, or at any time to add ink, in order to solve this problem, many manufacturers are on the outside of the cartridge design voltage regulator device, such as some manufacturers use the spring, and some manufacturers use the principle of atmospheric pressure in the ink cartridge to add a balance between the automatic pressure, so that you can maintain a constant liquid level. The use of an automatic pressure regulator outside the cartridge is called the constant pressure cartridge, it can be directly fixed on the printer shell, moving up is also very convenient.
2. Hose
Hose also known as the pipe, it is the outer cartridge to the inner cartridge to carry ink pipeline, it is actually a group of siphon, the external cartridge and the ink cartridges in accordance with the color of one by one connected together, for the convenience of walking line, hose is usually 4 or 6 sticks into a row, hose may also have a variety of brackets or fixed blocks to facilitate installation fixed. In addition, some manufacturers also add the ink control valve on the hose to control the ink switch and flow size.
3. Inner Cartridge
The cartridge inside the printer is called the inner cartridge, and its size and shape are similar to that of the original cartridge, which can be installed in the printer's ink car to replace the original cartridge (also useful for the original cartridge modified in the inner cartridge). The inner cartridge cannot be used universally, and a specific model of the inner cartridge can only be installed in a specific type of printer.
Inside the ink cartridges in the system is a very important part, not only to ensure the continuous and smooth ink supply, but also to eliminate the phenomenon of ink leakage, which is the design and production of ink cartridges. More than 09 years of the inner cartridge is mostly used without cotton cartridge, and there is a cotton ink cartridges, its ink is not easy to produce bubbles, the air is difficult to enter the nozzle, installed, take the cartridge after the disconnection problem will be reduced, the life of the cartridge is also longer, its shortcoming is easy to leak ink There are some manufacturers of ink cartridges and did not use the conventional ink cartridge design, but the use of ink bag, almost is the hose directly connected to the ink cartridge out of the ink, this design allows the installation of cartridges more easily, the line is more convenient.
All the connecting system or automatic ink supply system is composed of these three basic components, the difference between them is mainly inside and outside the internal structure of the ink cartridges, there is the difference between work and modelling. Even the system is basically a "details determine success or failure" of the product, in many cases, we can distinguish it with the naked eye, good and bad, even for the system must be a good material, fine workmanship, beautiful appearance products.

III. System Ink
There are many kinds of ink, and there are two main types of ink:
1, if according to chromophores classification, ink can be divided into:
Dye-type inks (dye)--the ink that is chromophores by dye--is also the ink used by most inkjet printers.
Pigment inks (Pigments)--inks that are chromophores with pigments.
2, if the ink is in accordance with the solvent to distinguish, then divided into:
water-based ink-water and water-soluble solvents as the main components of dissolved chromophores.
Oily ink--a water-soluble solvent as the main component of dissolved chromophores.
The above concepts intersect with each other in the actual use process, for example, some pigment inks may be water-based ink can also be oily ink. However, from its own nature and the actual requirements of the printer, water-based ink and oily ink is absolutely not allowed to mix in the same print head.
Ink shelf life generally for two years, the preservation of ink requirements sealed to avoid direct sunlight, the temperature should not be too high or too low (normal room temperature can).
Factors affecting printing effect and printing head performance
1, viscosity and surface tension:
Viscosity is liquid flow resistance, liquid surface tension is related to the formation of droplets, in general, inkjet ink to have a low viscosity, high surface tension to ensure good flow performance and droplet shape. The surface tension of LJ ink is generally
2, Ph value:
The concept of liquid ph, the more acidic the solution, the lower the ph value, conversely, the more alkali the solution, the higher the ph value. In order to prevent ink corrosion nozzle, ph value should generally be between 7-12. The ph value of AJ ink is generally between 7.0 and 8.0, which is almost neutral.
3, conductivity:
In ink, the conductivity value is used to reflect the level of salt content. In general, the salt content can not exceed 0.5%, in order to avoid the formation of crystallization in the nozzle, AJ ink salt content is less than 0.3%.
4. Dispersing Agent:
A kind of surfactant, its function mainly is to improve the ink surface physical properties, enhance the affinity and wettability of the ink and sponge. So generally through the sponge storage, conductive ink contains dispersants.
Most of the general supplies in pigment ink and dye ink on the fuss, many Epson printer is pigment ink, because the production process of pigment ink is relatively difficult, so the majority of domestic general supplies are used dye ink to replace. Printer Ink Pigment Introduction will also bring a certain impact on the ink market. But the price of pigment ink is still high, dye-type ink or dominate the market
。 Of course, the general consumables manufacturers can also make pigment inks, but the price is relatively expensive, so in the purchase of inkjet printer general consumables must pay attention to this point.

IV. Installation of the connecting system
1,Pre-installation Printer test
(1) Test whether the printer is working properly, check the mechanical state of the ink car and lubricate the condition.
(2. Print nozzle test line to check the printer nozzle is normal. Prints the picture and tests whether the print effect is normal.
3. If the test is not normal before the installation, that is, for the printer itself, please contact the seller or after-sales service department of the printer to solve the problem after you install this product.
II. Installation method
1. Straighten out the continuous ink system to guide the ink tube, the external cartridge storage bin to the lower level to eliminate the balance of air. (a pen can be padded below to ensure the level of the air compartment)
2. Erect the outer cartridge, open the inlet cover, install the air filter.
3. Press the printer to change the ink key, when the ink car moved to replace the cartridge location, unplug the power cord, remove the original cartridge. Streamline the guide ink tube, install continuous ink cartridges, cover the ink cartridge gland. (Note: Some models of printers, such as C63, R210 can be removed from the cartridge lid.) )
4. Remove the bracket in the attachment, set the printer in an appropriate position, move the ink back and forth, adjust the length of the cartridge pipeline. Ensure that the printhead is not obstructed within the range of motion. Find the most suitable position of the bracket, tear the adhesive on the bracket and fix the bracket. (Note: Again, this time the printer's power cord must be unplugged or it will affect your printer.) )
5. After checking, plug the printer power, press the ink-exchange key to reset the printer, check the length of the guide ink tube, then enter the printer nozzle check option, print nozzle test line to see if normal, such as normal printing. If it is not normal, please do the print nozzle cleaning procedures, after cleaning for 20 minutes after the use of better results.
III. Considerations
1. This system uses the constant pressure system, must maintain the outer cartridge balance cartridge ink liquid noodles or more than 1.5cm.
2. Please keep the external box of the system and the printer on the same desktop.
3. Please select the company's special matching inks, the ink is carefully developed, rigorous testing after the selection. The ink can be used with the system to achieve the best printing effect.
4. Please install in strict accordance with the operating procedures: First take off the air intake Konseizo after the installation of cartridge. So as not to cause bad printing.
5. Please note the ink in the outer cartridge, if the liquid surface and the bottom only 1.5cm, please add ink in time. After adding ink, the air inlet ink liquid surface height should not be greater than 1.0cm, otherwise it will affect the pressure.

V. System Exhaust
First step: From the printer to take out the ink cartridges, together with the entire set of ink bottles to take out, placed on the same level, and then turn over the cartridge, let the ink mouth up, and then use the object slightly up the ink cartridge out of this end, that is, cartridge ink in the bottom, sponge warehouse on. Note that there is enough ink in the ink bottle.
The second step: here to give the blue ink cartridge exhaust As an example, unplug the blue ink bottle blowhole filter, find a medical 20-30 ml syringe, unplug the needle, pull up the piston, and then put the syringe outlet into the ink bottle blowhole, the purpose is to be pumped from the blowhole.
The third step: to find a medical 20-30 ml syringe, the needle does not need to be pulled out, the piston does not have to pull up, and then put the needle nozzle in the blue cartridge out of the mouth of the sponge, the purpose is to smoke from the ink out of the mouth.
Step Fourth: The above three steps for the preparation work, this step officially began to exhaust the ink, then the best of the novice with two people, a people first slowly push the syringe on the ink bottle piston to air vent, then will see the blank pipeline soon filled with ink, and cartridges ink cartridge into the ink gradually rising, then the air from the ink cartridge out of the mouth, entrainment a lot of ink blisters, at this time another person hurriedly with a syringe to draw out the ink blisters, do not let the ink out of the bottom of the cartridge chip. In this way until the ink cartridge ink is full, the ink cartridge out of the ink is basically not entrained bubble ink outflow, you can unplug all the syringes, exhaust ink is finished.
Step Fifth: You can put the cartridge back to the printer, remember to lock the pipeline first, the ink bottle is not locked, then use the clamp to clamp the pipeline, then put the cartridge back to the printer, and then release the tube clip. This will prevent the cartridge from moving even higher and lower when the connection is moved, resulting in an imbalance in the supply of gas and internal pressure. (Hint: If just exhaust ink is finished soon, the pipeline is white again, explain even for leakage phenomenon, please find out the cause of leakage and then new exhaust ink. )
