Ink Flow Issues (Cont’d)
2.Basic Systems Check (Cont’d)
Whenever you are having a problem with ink flow and your nozzle check is showing poor
performance of a specific cannel or channels check the following areas to make sure some-
thing simple is causing the problem. This is the most common reason and no matter how well
you know the machine we have all missed done at least one of the following:

Ink Bottle
Once you have checked the level you will need to check 3 more things while you are
there.
- The ink tube/line that goes into the bottle should be 1/4 “from the bottom of
the bottle. Sometimes from the bottle being moved or picked up for shaking
the ink line can get pulled on. This will begin to raise the bottom of the line
from the bottle and in some cases become much too high no longer pulling
ink. Always make sure the ink line is not pulled up too high and at around 1⁄4”
from the bottom.
- The Cap on top of the ink bottle has a small hole in the center to help
created a vacuum. This hole should always be clear and free of dried ink. Use
something like a paper clip to clean out the holes if you see even the smallest
amount of blockage. If this small hole gets blocked the ink will not flow
properly.
- Make sure that you do not see any kinks in the ink lines from the bottle to
where it goes inside the printer. When then bottles are moved and put back
into position it is possible to kink the lines. Check all lines for any kinks. This
can happen when the bottle is put back in the wrong positon from the other
bottles causing the lines to become crooked.

Head Cleans
When you first start up your printer for the day 2 Head Cleans must be performed to
get the printer ready. The first clean removes the cleaning solution used for Wet Cap-
ping and the second primes the Print Head. Then print a Nozzle Check. If you forget to
do the 2 cleans before the Nozzle Check you will more than likely not have a good check
pattern. So always remember that before you start printing to do 2 cleans followed by a
Nozzle Check. In some cases if the printer has been sitting a few days you will need to do
a Prime, 2 Head Cleans, and then a Nozzle Check.
