Keeping Print Quality High

The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging. Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.

Note

  • Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.

Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!

If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the printer caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to prevent from drying. Removing the power plug from the outlet while the status light is on/blinking or the touch screen is on will prevent the print head from being capped properly, and this will cause drying or clogging.

Check that the status light and touch screen display are off when removing the power plug.

Print periodically!

Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the printer has not been used for a long time. We recommend you to use the printer at least once a month.
