MAINTENA The Printer DURING CLOSURES

 As a UV Ink Manufacturer for hybrid uv ink, I would like to share with you how to maintain the printer. When it comes to COVID-19 situation, you may get conflicting advice about how to best maintain the printer for long time no use.

If your business has engaged using large format printer, we will summarize some important tips to help you maintain it during the closures. In generally, maintain printer is sames as car. Regularly cleaning and maintaining your printer is essential in ensuring it can work in high-quality printing. The same is true when printing. Large format printers usually run for hundreds of cycles, so you need to treat them with caution.


The difference between leaving your printer on or turning it off is generally insignificant in terms of energy costs. Unfortunately, many printers have been turned off until further notice immediately. In order to avoid problems when your computer is backed up and run, follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a long period:

l First, it is important to perform manual cleaning on each device. This will ensure that everything is clean and usable when you resume normal business. Check the ink cartridges and ink bottles to make sure there is enough ink available. If it has been some time since the last time anything was printed, many printers will initiate an automatic maintenance cycle.

l Ink Consumption, Make sure to empty the waste tank on the printer. This ensures that when you restart printing, too much waste ink will not flood the lid.

l Whatever you do, don’t simply unplug the machine to turn it off. You need to use the machine itself to turn off the power of the printer to ensure that it uses any capping mechanism to prevent the ink cartridges from drying out, and the printer often cleans itself at this stage.

l Remove any loaded media before storing the printer to prevent the pressure rollers from causing creases in the media, which may cause jams or damage to the print head.

The exact steps to turn off the printer may vary from model to model, so it’s best to refer to the specific instructions for your model or contact our team for further assistance.

For healthier print heads and more efficient ink consumption, however, it’s better to leave your printer on. Constantly switching your printer off and on will decrease your printer’s lifespan, so try to keep the off/on to a minimum.
