What should I do to keep good print quality?Answer: Please check the following contents.The following is an example of daily workflow. More details of each step are described on the next page.1.Before printing① Shake the white ink cartridge daily and reinsert it into the ink slot.How to shakeWear gloves and apply cloth to the insertion side as shown below pictures to avoid spilling ink on your hands. Tilt the cartridge gently from side to side more than 20 times, so ink inside can be circulated. If the cartridge is roughly tilted, the foil pack inside may be damaged. This may cause an ink leak.
Please tilt the cartridge gently. When the level of ink remaining is low, tilt the cartridge vertically, otherwise ink cannot be fully circulated.② Once a week operate “White Maintenance”Reason: White ink precipitates easily if it is compared to other colors. Once it precipitated inside ink line, it may cause nozzle issues and take time to clean it out.Items you prepareInk typeUV ink: SPC-0371F-200 UV ink: SPC-0516ItemsUV cleaning solution 440cc (Cartridge)P/N: SPC-0371FSP/N: SPC-0606FS③ Perform a Normal Cleaning for the head with missing nozzles.
