During the use of the printer, dust and fibers from the media can accumulate on the edges of the anti-reflective strips and mirrors of the printhead carriage. If these fibers touch the surface of the paper during printing, they can wipe through the uncured ink and can cause print quality issues.
These print quality issues can easily be mistaken for printhead issues, as these fibers are stuck to the carriage. To prevent unnecessary service calls or printhead replacements, the edges of the anti-reflective strips and mirrors need to be cleaned regularly.
Use Colorado 1630 prescribed:
Microflex gloves for handling ink
Lint free cloths
Cleaner IPA
NOTE
For information on the prescribed maintenance materials, see List of Colorado 1630 maintenance materials.
CAUTION
Wear the prescribed gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always overlap sleeves. Follow the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
IMPORTANT
Use the prescribed cleaning liquid. Do not use any other cleaners.
IMPORTANT
Do not use any external light source to prevent curing of the ink and damage to the printheads.
