How to maintain the ink cartridge of UV printer? What are the problems to pay attention to?

In today's diversified manufacturing field, UV printer with its excellent printing performance, widely used in all walks of life, all kinds of products printed by it can be seen everywhere. However, if you want to keep the UV printer in good working condition and extend its service life, careful maintenance of the parts of the machine is essential. Among them, the ink cartridge is one of the key components, and its maintenance points are worth our in-depth understanding.

Timely cleaning and replacement of UV ink

When faced with the need to replace the ink, the first priority is a thorough cleaning and careful inspection of the ink cartridge. After cleaning, make sure the cartridge is fully dry and the internal air is expelled. In the process of replacing the ink, be sure to pay attention to the ink remaining in the inkjet pipe, and carefully clean and discharge the work. In particular, it should be noted that different types of ink must not be mixed to avoid unnecessary problems.

2. Deep cleaning and maintenance of ink supply system

The ink supply system includes a motherboard, main ink cartridge, ink supply pump, filter, auxiliary ink cartridge, ink tube and level sensor. In order to ensure the normal operation of the liquid level sensor, it is important to carefully decontaminate and dust other components. In the entire ink supply system, the nozzle as a key part of the ink transfer, cleaning work can not be ignored. Because the nozzle is highly susceptible to dust, ink residue and stains, it needs to be cleaned and dredged regularly with a specified cleaning solution to ensure that it remains unimpeded at all times.

Select qualified ink and standardize the addition operation

The ink itself has a certain acid and alkali, which requires us to select qualified products suitable for UV printers when selecting ink. At the same time, different colors and different batches of ink are strictly prohibited from mixing into the ink cartridge, otherwise it may cause chemical reactions, which will seriously affect the normal work of the ink cartridge and printer. In addition, always ensure that the ink in the ink cartridge of the UV printer is in sufficient condition, because once the ink is insufficient, the ink cartridge may dry burn, which can easily damage the internal parts of the ink cartridge. It is worth mentioning that high-quality ink can not only ensure the print quality, but also protect the cartridge to a certain extent.

Replace the ink cartridge regularly

After many inks, the inside of the ink cartridge will inevitably mix some impurities or dust. As the ink continues to flow through the cartridge filter, impurities will gradually adsorb and accumulate on the filter. As the amount of ink used increases, the filter is likely to be blocked, resulting in poor ink flow and ultimately affecting print quality. Once the filter is completely blocked, the printer may even fail to print. Therefore, after a long time of use, it is recommended to replace the new cartridge in time. If the quality of the ink used is poor, the frequency of replacing the cartridge should be appropriately increased to avoid affecting the work efficiency due to the failure of the cartridge.
