DTF printers love to print and leaving the printers idle for a long time can cause several issues. For instance, remaining idle can cause the printheads to dry and become blocked, and white ink may separate in the lines. Fixing these issues in your printer can be costly.
If you plan to not use the printer for more than two days, we recommend wet capping (cleaning solution is put in the caps where the printheads rest). This will protect the printheads from drying up and, in the right environment, can preserve the printer for up to two weeks. However, the printer should be left on so that the ink circulation system can run.
For longer inactivity, we recommend flushing the ink lines and heads.
