How to maintain UV flatbed printer?

1. Ensure the clean environment around the UV flatbed printer. Too much dust in the working environment can easily lead to poor lubrication of the guide shaft of the trolley, which hinders the movement of the print head during printing, causing inaccurate printing position or damage to the mechanical frame and crash. When the print head is not returned to the initial position and is turned back on, the printer first returns the print head to the initial position, and then the cleaning head operation is performed, so that unnecessary waste of ink is caused. The solution to this problem is to often wipe off the dust on the guide shaft and lubricate the guide shaft (use a better fluidity such as sewing machine oil).

2, must ensure that the UV flatbed printer has a stable working platform, do not place any items on the top of the uv flatbed printer. The printer must close its front cover when printing to prevent dust from entering the machine or other hard objects that prevent the printer from moving. It is forbidden to plug and unplug the printer cable. This will damage the printer's print port and the parallel port of the PC, which may even damage the motherboard of the PC. If the printout is not very clear, you can use the printer's automatic cleaning function to clean the printhead, but consume a small amount of ink. If the print is still not satisfactory after several consecutive cleanings, the ink may have run out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.

3. Before shutting down, let the print head return to the initial position (the printer automatically returns to the initial position when the printer is in the pause state). One way to do this is to avoid wasting ink when the printer is re-cleaned at the next boot, and because the nozzle is sealed at the initial position by the protective cover, making the nozzle less prone to blockage.

4, the ink cartridge needs constant correction: users who have experience in using the printer know that the printer should correct the printer after reinstalling the ink cartridge or replacing the new ink cartridge to improve printing accuracy and print quality.

5. When the ink cartridge is not used, it is best not to take it off, so as to avoid waste of ink or metering error of the printer.

6. When the ink cartridge is not used for a long time, it should be placed at room temperature to avoid direct sunlight. Because the ink evaporates quickly in this environment, it is easy to cause the nozzle to clog. In addition, in the low temperature and humidity environment, the print head circuit and the ink are prone to problems.

7. When replacing the ink cartridge, be sure to follow the steps in the operation manual. Pay special attention to the above operation when the power is turned on. Because the ink cartridge is refilled after the ink cartridge is replaced, the process will not work in the off state and the printer will not be able to detect the reinstalled cartridge. In addition, some printers measure the ink capacity using an electronic counter inside the printer (especially in the statistics of the amount of color ink used). When the counter reaches a certain value, the printer determines that the ink is used up. During the cartridge replacement process, the printer resets its internal electronic counter to confirm that a new cartridge has been installed.

8. In addition, the grating strip of the uv flatbed printer should also be protected. Do not touch it with your hands. Do not let it be contaminated with dust to prevent misalignment.
