Epson DX5 Printhead VS DX7 Print Nozzle: Which one is Better for You?

Hi~ nice to see you again, my dear friends. The National Day will coming! So from tomorrow to 7th October, I am in holiday. And today's topic is about epson DX5 printhead and DX7. Many people don't know how to choose it for thire business. Now I will tell you sone differences about these two kinds printhead.

Epson DX5 and DX7 Specifications
The first thing to look at when comparing the two print heads is their specifications, because it is this that defines how they perform and gives us an idea of what each head is designed to do. The Epson DX5 head is the older of the two, compatible with both solvent and eco-solvent based inks, and has a native resolution of 1440 dpi, using 1440 nozzles arranged in 8lines of 180 nozzles. It has a firing frequency of 8kHz and a minimum droplet size of 1.5 picolitres.
The Epson DX7 is also solvent and eco-solvent compatible, and it uses 6 lines of 90 nozzles for 540 nozzles and a 1440 dpi resolution, the droplet size is the same 1.5 picolitres at 8kHz.

Epson DX5 and DX7 Performance

While every print job is different, both heads are assessed based on their speed to print a full size A4 image, and while their specifications do look quite similar, this is where the differences show. The Epson DX5 took just 64 seconds to print the full page, while the DX7 took 111. Speed is not everything of course, and the output quality should also be looked at. Here the end result is not as far apart as you may think, the DX7 providing a slower speed, but maintaining high quality output. The DX5 offering slightly higher quality at a much faster speed.

Epson DX5 and DX7 Suitability
The biggest difference between the two heads is not the speed as you may think, but it is in fact operating costs. Not only is the DX5 more expensive to purchase, but the extra nozzles mean it is also a costlier head to maintain. By contrast, the Epson DX7 offers relatively low running costs to offset that slower print speed.

What does that mean for anyone looking at these heads? If you can live with the lower print speed, the Epson DX7 can offer significant savings in running costs, but if you want the fastest prints without sacrificing quality, and running costs are not too much of a worry for you, then the Epson DX5 is the head to choose.

How to Use Sublimation Paper Complete one Heat Transfer Printing on Fabric?

Hello, nice to see you again, my dear friends! Have you know sublimation printing? Do you know how to use sublimation transfer paper complete one heat transfer printing on fabric? If you know the detail steps, reading and following, I can tell you more!

1. Wash your fabric. Your design will stick better if you wash the fabric, or use a pre-washed fabric. Wash your fabric in accordance with the feiyuepaper recommendations and allow it to dry completely before transferring any design onto it

2. Print your heat transfer design if you are using a photo or intricate design. If you are transferring a photo or intricate design, use a printable heat transfer paper. This allows you to print out your design directly from your computer using a heavy paper setting.

• Remember that your design will be mirrored when you print it, so if you are including text or want to preserve direction in your image, you will need to flip it horizontally in a photo editing software before printing.

3. Print a template if you are transferring a solid pattern. If you are transferring a simple pattern in just 1 or 2 colors, you can print your template directly on your heat transfer vinyl sheets. Then, use a precision knife or scissors to cut out your design.

• Remember that your design will be mirrored when you print it. If you are including text or want to preserve direction in your design, you will need to flip it horizontally in a photo editing software prior to printing.
• If you have a laser cutting machine, you can use it to cut your vinyl design, instead.

4. Arrange your design on the fabric with the backing facing up. Once your design is prepped, arrange it on your fabric. Once you start to iron on the pattern you cannot move or rearrange it. Take time now to ensure everything is where you want it. Make sure that the backing is facing up, as you want to iron the backing, not the vinyl.

5. Use a heat press to transfer your design. Different heat transfer papers require different heat settings, so be sure to check the manufacturer's requirements to properly heat your iron. Then, slowly move the hot iron over the backing. Typically, you will want to hold the iron over each part of the design for 10-20 seconds to ensure that it sticks completely.

• Be sure to cover the whole design with the iron. Parts of the design that don’t get heat won’t transfer correctly.
• You may want to stick a thin towel or a piece of parchment paper in between the transfer paper and your iron to prevent wrinkles or scalding.

6. Peel off the backing. Once you have finished using the heat press on your design, allow it to cool for 30-45 seconds. Then, peel off the backing to reveal your newly completed design. If you find any parts of the transfer still sticking to the backing, run your heat transfer press over them again before continuing to peel.

Okay, after reading this article, I believe that you must know the process which how to operate. 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.

• Before starting the conversion process, print a nozzle check to confirm that the printhead is working properly. Do not attempt to perform a conversion on a printer that is not printing correctly.
• Ensure that you have a spare maintenance tank or a maintenance tank resetter available before moving on.
• Remove all the old ink cartridges and install a set of cleaning cartridges (or a set of refillable cartridges filled with bottled purge fluid).
• Do the initial fill procedure to clear the old ink from the lines and replace it with purge fluid. Repeat the initial fill procedure once more to flush all residues.

How to Keep Your Inkjet Printer with Good Effect? You Know the Tip of Maintenance?

With the development of sublimation printing, the inkjet printer wide application in this field. But the printhead of inkjet printer broken easily, so we should maintain your digital inkjet printer.

Printer Maintenance: if a plotter lives long, a business may prosper.

Large format printers, like any other type of machines, need regular maintenance to increase its longevity. Nonetheless, frequent and proper maintenance policies help not only save significant amounts of money, but also regular maintenance is necessary to keep getting high-quality prints out of the machine.

Our years of experience in this industry have taught us valuable lessons related to printer maintenance and we will like to share some of that accumulated knowledge with you in this article. We will not go into too much detail since this will not be a tutorial or a “how to” manual to fix specific issues. We will simply comment on a few general recommended practices that we employ to maintain our equipment printing smoothly.

Periodic care keeps printers healthy and happy.
For a printing company, printers are a fundamental part of the production process. The failure in one of these high-tech machines could have catastrophic consequences starting with a negative impact on the workflow, followed by turnaround time variations and unhappy customers. Printers cost money but are also the moneymaker for print shops, so neglecting their care will never be a smart business decision.

Every manufacturer recommends specific maintenance schedules for their machines. That is the first rule to printer maintenance we follow: listen to what the manufacturer or supplier has to say about taking care of the machine they built. Another recommendation relates to using the right tools for even the small tweaks. For example, we use only lint-free cloths and factory maintenance fluid for cleaning accumulated dust and dirt build-up, that way we protect our print-heads. In addition, for pinch rollers, print heaters and other areas that have contact with media we use sometimes Isopropyl Alcohol as a general purpose cleaner.

The “best equipment” is nothing without proper care.
One of the key elements that have lead us to our success in the large format industry has been our cutting-edge equipment capabilities. But, like any other machines, our printers could only give us so much before breaking down or start to lose their print quality. We understand that to keep our quality prints, we need to take proper care of our printing tools, and believe it, we do. Whether we are talking about checking the system that controls the ink stability and tank levels, or simply wiping off the accumulated dirt, we would not be able to deliver the outstanding high-quality prints we are known for, without attention to our printer maintenance regimen.
