Do You Know What Kind of Environment is Your Sublimation Inkjet printer likes ---- Moisture or Dry?

Hi, Nice to see you! Today, I want to talk about the topic is sublimation inkjet printer's environment. If you just buy a inkjet sublimation printer, do you know what kind of environment is your sublimation inkjet printer likes ---- moisture or dry? If you don't know the answer, read the following and I will share you more!

PROTECT YOUR PRINTER’S ENVIRONMENT

The environment—most specifically, humidity and temperature—plays a big part in how an inkjet printer functions. Inkjet printers prefer a consistent temperature that is cool but not cold. Further, they love humidity between 40-60 percent. If your environment is very high humidity, and sublimators may still have problems with printers. But remember, it may be really humid outside, but inside your air conditioning has taken all the moisture out of the air. This is bad for your printer. It is suggested to run a humidifier inside your home near the printer to maintain inside humidity.

If you are working in your home, and have a basement, inkjet printers love to live there. I had an old epson sublimation printer with inks installed and had it stored in my basement for over a year unused. A basement is naturally cool and humid. I took the printer out and printed a test print, as I was curious, and the first print was perfect. That printer would not have printed, had it not been in my basement because the ink would have dried solid inside the print heads and would have been very difficult if not impossible to correct.

How to Protect the sublimation printer nozzles?

You should never leave your inkjet sublimation printer sit for an extended period of time without printing. The length of time depends on your environment. You should run at least a nozzle check periodically to move fresh ink through your print heads. Think of your nozzles as a cup of coffee that you leave sitting on your office desk. If you left it there for a couple weeks or maybe only a couple of days, the water would evaporate, leaving a brown crusty deposit. You would have to scrub pretty aggressively to clean out that mug.

The same thing can happen to a print head. The ink sits in the nozzle and the liquid evaporates over time, leaving a crusted over nozzle. You would have to run some head cleaning cycles to get all the nozzles to print correctly, and this wastes ink. I personally recommend running a nozzle check each day, although sometimes that can be hard to remember. It only takes a few drops of ink to do a nozzle check, but it takes a lot more to run cleaning cycles to clear a clogged printer.

You probably spent a lot of time researching sublimation printers before you eventually settled on the model you purchased. You ordered your package, and when it arrived, you set it up, and started creating sublimation products.

Now you have the knowledge of how your wide format inkjet printer works, and you know that you must provide your printer a good environment, and exercise it regularly. If you do these simple things, you can be confident that when you need your inkjet sublimation printer, it will print flawlessly.Thank you for your reading.If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time.

Do you Know What Makes A Dye-Sublimation Transfer Printer Tick?

Hello, nice to see you. To day is cloudy in Nanjing. Today's topic is about Dye-Sublimation Transfer Printer, the inkjet printer is like any other piece of equipment. You must take care of it and maintain it in the proper environment, so that it works at its very best. If you don’t, just like other equipment, a sublimation printer can be frustrating. And sometimes sublimation printer appear ticks, do you know what happen to it?

And you do need to know what to do to take care of your equipment and not everyone is given this information, so I am going to tell you what makes a sublimation printer tick!

WHAT MAKES A SUBLIMATION PRINTER TICKS?

To take care of an inkjet sublimation printer, first we need to know some basics of how it works. First of all, in sublimation we use Epson inkjet printers. The reason for this is that Epson printers use a“cold” technology to spray the ink onto the paper. This technology is called Piezo head technology which is patented by Epson.

The epson print head has a small crystal that vibrates when stimulated with an electrical charge, and this forces the ink out of the print head nozzles. Since sublimation dyes are heat activated, it is perfect for the sublimation process. Other inkjet printers use heat to “boil” the ink onto the paper. This would not work so well for the sublimation process because the dyes would be activated before we wanted them to.
There are basically two ways to deliver ink to a printer, either cartridges (including refillable), or an external bulk ink delivery system. These cartridges work well, but they are very low capacity, and not very cost effective, so a bulk ink system is preferred.

With a bulk ink system, the ink is contained in bags. The ink feeds through tubing,
up to damper cartridges that install where regular cartridges would be. The bulk system works as a siphon system that is at equilibrium. That is why it is important to keep the container with the ink on the same level as the printer. If you put it higher, the ink could start siphoning into the printer, and if it is lower, the ink will run back into the bags. Either outcome can cause serious problems.

Occasionally with bulk systems, a damper cartridge may lose its prime. Your ink bag may have run empty or the hose may have kinked, cutting off the free flow of liquid. The system loses it prime and will not pull ink through to the print heads. When this happens, a printer cleaning cycle (done through your printer driver) may correct the problem. If not, you need to re-prime that damper cartridge.

Okay, These all above are my share about what makes inkjet sublimation printer ticks. If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.
