3. There Are Drops of Ink on Garments
The Print Head is leaking/ dripping ink on garments.
Causes 1:
The Print Head is saturated with ink
•
Thoroughly clean the Capping Station. The Capping Station can become dirty with garment lint or
bers as well as dried ink. This will prevent it from adequately cleaning the Print Head.
Debris or shirt bers have collected on the Print Head and Print Head Carriage
•
Gently clean the bottom of the Print Head Area to remove any debris, dried ink and bers. Also
check the Capping Station to ensure it is clean and free of debris and lint. Refer to Chapter 13 -
Daily, Weekly and Montly Maintenance - Daily Maintenance - Cleaning the Print Head Area.
Too much ink is coming through the Print Head
•
If you lled the Bulk Ink Cartridges past the Full Line there could be too much pressure in the bulk
ink system ink lines, forcing ink out of the Print Head.
