How to Perform a Epson Nozzle Check? & How to Manually Clean a Epson Printhead?

Hi! Nice to see you again, my friends. Today, let's talk about how to clean epson nozzles. No matter if you use branded, compatible or reused cartridges, there is a chance of the ink drying out and clogging the nozzle. This can cause further problems if not addressed properly and could even cause your printer to break down. However, this can be solved by cleaning the printhead.

How to perform a Epson Nozzle check
You can perform a nozzle check either from your printer’s control panel on the machine, or via your computers utility settings.

Via the printer’s control panel:
1. You’ll need to locate the maintenance screen – this is usually through the setup page via the printer’s home button.
2. Select Print Head Nozzle Check and make sure you have paper in the loading tray.
3. The printer will print a CMYK colour chart made up of lines. If these lines are blotchy, with gaps, you’ll need to clean the printhead.

Via a computers utility settings:
1. Locate and open the printer utility. This can usually be found through System Preferences, or Settings, via the task menu.
2. Once you’ve opened Printers & Scanners, select your printer and open the Printer Utility.
3. Select Nozzle Check and see if the printout is clean with no gaps or blotches in the lined colour chart. If the printout is not precise, you’ll need to clean the printhead.

How to manually clean a Epson printhead
To successfully clean a print head manually you’ll need some basic supplies. Gather a bottle of water and a lint-free cloth or a paper towel.

1. Make sure the printer is off and unplugged to prevent damage to the device and yourself.
2. Open the printer, locate the cartridges and remove these.
3. Remove the tray the cartridges sit in – this is the printhead unit. It will have several holes in the bottom.
4. Some printer models, such as a HP, will have the printhead on the cartridge, if this is the case, it won’t have a tray to clean. So, move onto step 5 and 6.

5. Lightly dampen the cloth with water.
6. Gently brush this over the foil, electrical contact area with the damp cloth until no new ink shows up on the cloth. Remove all dried ink debris from the printhead contacts, edge and ramps. Make sure you clean the electrical contacts inside the printer as well.
7. If you’ve removed the print head unit, soak in a bowl of shallow water for around five minutes. This will loosen any dried ink. Dab the print head unit on a paper towel to remove any ink and moisture. Make sure it is completely dry before inserting back into the printer.
8. After everything is cleaned and back in place, perform a nozzle check to see the quality of the printing.

What things Need you to Consider when Buying a Sublimation Inkjet Printer?

Hi~ nice to see you again, my friends. Do you know what things need you to consider when buying a sublimation inkjet printer? It is not easy for someone! Choosing the correct sublimation printer requires first determining what you want to produce.

Are you printing large designs on apparel? Smaller items, such as coasters, cellphone covers, flip flops, bag tags and plaques? Full-color graphics? High-definition photography? The answers to these questions will have a significant impact on your choice.

Other key factors to consider when choosing a sublimation printer are 
printing-field size, number of ink colors, and printing speed and cost.
Sublimation printers size:

Desktop Format inkjet printer: These are office-style units that print on individual sheets of paper and fit easily on any desk or table surface. They are ideal for startup operations due to their cost and ease of use. Paper sizes range from 8.5″ x 11″ to 13″ x 19″.

Narrow Format inkjet printer: These freestanding, commercial-grade units print onto rolls of paper ranging from 24-44 inches wide. They are ideal for growing businesses 
that need to generate larger images or higher-volume production.

Wide Format inkjet printer: These freestanding, industrial-grade units print onto rolls of paper measuring 44-104 inches wide. They are ideal for production facilities with specialized needs such as textile printing, trade-show banners, allover garments, etc.

Number of Ink Colors
Inkjet printers generate hundreds of thousands of output colors by mixing a select number of base ink colors. Most printers are four-color units with base ink colors of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK).

Other printer models are available with eight base colors. Examples of additional base colors include: light cyan, light magenta, red, orange, blue, etc. Eight-color systems present options for different ink sets to be used in different applications.
For example, if you want to focus on high-resolution photographs, buy an ink set specifically designed for delivering top-quality photographic images for sublimation. If you want to produce fluorescent colors, use an ink set designed for that application.

For most sublimators, a four-color printer will produce vibrant graphics, stunning colors and high-resolution photography. However, for fine art or photographic work — where subtle shades of color make a big difference — an eight-color printer may be more ideal.

Printing Speed
Specialy sublimation ink sets exist for operations focusing primarily on graphics and color matching.

Graphics often require expanded gamuts that deliver a more unique set of ink colors. For example, oranges and reds can be difficult to accurately match with standard CMYK printing. In addition, some blues and purples are on the outer fringes of the true CMYK gamut.

In the case of an eight-color set, the two light black inks are replaced with fluorescent pink and fluorescent yellow. This enables users to add a wide range of fluorescent spot colors to images or produce completely fluorescent images for special effects that are not possible with a CMYK-only solution. It also opens the door to a variety of special applications, such as promotional, safety and high-visibility products.

These specialty sublimation inks are examples of how technology within the decorating discipline continues to expand. Though not every ink is available for every printer, stay abreast of what your suppliers offer.

If you want to purchase new sublimation equipment, look beyond the image size and print speed, and focus on the available ink sets and how they can benefit your operation. More color options yield more sublimation opportunities, which lead to increased profitability and business growth.
