Unclog Print Head
If you own an Epson Print Head TX800 on your UV printer or DTF printer, it’s crucial to know how to keep it clean and unclogged for optimal printing performance. Here are some essential steps and tips to help you with this task.
The first step is to power off your printer and make sure it’s completely disconnected from the power source. This is a safety precaution to prevent any electrical accidents during the cleaning process.
Next, remove the print head from the printer. Be extremely careful when doing this as the print head is a delicate component. You may need to refer to your printer’s manual for specific instructions on how to remove it safely.
Prepare a cleaning solution. You can use a specialized printer head cleaning solution available in the market or make a homemade one by mixing distilled water and isopropyl alcohol in the right proportions.
Dip a lint-free cloth or a cotton swab into the cleaning solution and gently wipe the surface of the print head. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as this could damage the nozzles.
If the clog is stubborn, you can try soaking the print head in the cleaning solution for a short period. However, do not soak it for too long as it might cause damage.
After cleaning, rinse the print head with distilled water to remove any residue from the cleaning solution.
Let the print head dry completely before reinstalling it back into the printer.
Once the print head is reinstalled, power on the printer and run a test print to check if the clog has been cleared and the printing quality has improved.
It’s important to note that regular maintenance and proper use of the printer can prevent print head clogs in the first place. Always use high-quality inks and keep the printer in a clean and dust-free environment.
Cleaning or unclogging the Epson Print Head TX800 requires patience and care. By following these steps, you can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UV printer or DTF printer.
