How to Solve The Plug on Print Head of Uv Printers?

Plug solution
The repair of the hard plug of uv printers, the hard plug refers to the chemical coagulation in the nozzle or the plug caused by impurities, the troubleshooting method is more difficult, in this case can be solved by the following method.

 1. Soaking method, applicable range: the resistance is lighter. Required tools: cleaning solution, a clean cup and a flat metal container with a flat surface; working principle: dissolve the ink particles one by one with medium-strength organic solvent, be sure to use cleaning solution, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Solution: First find a metal container with a flat surface and add a little cleaning solution to the container. 


The cleaning solution is limited to the immersion of the stainless steel edge of the print head (be careful not to let the PCB contact the cleaning solution). Soaking time generally ranges from 2 hours to 4 days. The advantage is that the cleaning effect is good, and it is not easy to cause physical damage to the print head; the disadvantage is that the time required is long, and it is difficult to solve the user's urgent need.


2, distilled water cleaning method, the scope of application: severely blocked. Essential tools: a decoded empty cartridge, a disposable syringe, and a bottle of medical distilled water (also available in clean water). Working principle: similar to the working principle of pressure cleaning. Solution: Prepare a decoded empty ink cartridge, a disposable syringe and a bottle of medical distilled water. Using the pressure generated by the siphon action of the syringe, inject the syringe into the distilled water through the vent hole of the ink cartridge, and then inject it into the cartridge for a while. The injected distilled water is sucked out by a syringe, so that the remaining ink in the ink cartridge is washed repeatedly several times.


3, ultrasonic instrument cleaning method, the scope of application: the most severely blocked. Working principle: The ultrasonic cleaning machine generates strong ultrasonic waves to make the water molecules vibrate violently, and the fine dry ink particles are shattered and dissolved in water to achieve the purpose of cleaning. Solution: Put the UV roll to roll printer head into the washing machine gently, add pure water or special print head cleaning solution, pure water or special print head cleaning solution is just enough to cover the stainless steel edge of the print head (be careful not to let the PCB contact To pure water or special cleaning solution, it can be quickly cleaned after 10 to 15 hours. The advantage is that the cleaning effect is very good, the printing head that has been blocked for many years can be cleaned and the operation is very simple; the disadvantage is that the maintenance cost is high and the price is relatively expensive.

What's The Reasons and Solutions of UV Printer's Print head Plugged ?

For Uv printing the core part of the UV printer is the UV print head, which is what we often say. For the printing company, the "plugging" phenomenon of UV printers has occurred from time to time, which is really unbearable for users. Holding the printer for a long time will cause plugging, improper operation will cause plugging, and poor ink quality will cause plugging! It seems that the plugging phenomenon is very troublesome!

 UV printer plugging reasons and solutions
If it is not repaired in time, it will not only affect the production schedule, but also cause permanent plugging, which will make the printer scrap. If you change the nozzle, then the cost can be higher! Therefore, it is especially important to learn a "true skill". Daily maintenance, reduce the phenomenon of plugging, in the face of unexpected situations, can easily deal with!


The "culprit" of the UV printer plugging phenomenon, because the print head is normally printed, the seal is not tight or placed for a long time, the water is excessively evaporated, causing the ink particles to dry at the tip of the fine print head, so that the ink cannot be ejected normally. Or different inks are mixed with each other to produce a chemical reaction, which usually manifests as a failure such as frequent disconnection, missing color, illegible writing, or even normal printing.

We all know that the price of a UV flatbed printer ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The most need for maintenance of the whole machine is the nozzle. The nozzle plug is one of the common problems. Firstly, the cause of the plug is clearly understood. Better solve the problem fundamentally! Share it for everyone today!


Plug cause
Common reasons for UV plugs for UV flatbed printers:

First, [bubble plug] UV ink defoaming performance is not good, bubbles will be generated in the ink, once the bubble enters the nozzle, it is difficult to come out, resulting in air blockage.

Second, [Miscellaneous Plugging] The tiny particles in the UV ink enter the nozzle and are blocked in the narrow passage of the ink.

Third, [filter net plug] Inferior UV ink in the debris and harmful solvents are blocked in front of the filter, it will block after a long time.


Fourth, [dry knot plug] In a long period of time, no nozzle is used, and the ink is dry to cause plugging.

V. [Chemical plugging] UV inks of different natures are used, and debris is caused by chemical reaction.

Sixth, [corruption plugging] occurs when the temperature is high, the bacteria in the UV ink multiply, the ink is spoiled and denatured, and debris appears inside the nozzle.


VII. [Fouling plugging] UV ink itself is made of water when it is produced. The ink is used for a long time. The dirt is in the nozzle, causing the effective diameter of the nozzle to become smaller.

Eight, [oily plug] UV ink vehicles need lubricating oil, will volatilize and spread to the nozzle, changing the physical properties of the nozzle, causing plugging.

Nine, [Electrical plug] The nozzle is equipped with ink or ink cartridge chip electrical performance detection. When there is non-standard ink or chip, the ink valve is closed to different degrees, the ink can not pass normally, and it is called false plug.

X. [dirty plug] The nozzle is exposed to the outside, and dust particles in the air are adsorbed on the nozzle to cause plugging.

In general, the classification and solution of UV printer plugging phenomenon can be roughly divided into two categories: soft plug and hard plug. Understand the cause of the plug, then look at the solution:


The repair of the soft plug, the soft plug block refers to the disconnection fault caused by the viscosity of the ink on the nozzle due to various reasons. Sometimes it only adheres to the surface of the nozzle of the ink outlet. Generally, the cleaning solution can be recovered after repeated cleaning. The operation is simple and fast, without any physical damage; the disadvantage is that the use cost is high, and the cleaning liquid is wasted. Note that the above method should generally not exceed three times. When the printer "plug" is not serious, it should be opened within three times; if it cannot be opened three times, it means that the plug is more serious, and the number of cleanings is not necessarily useful, and it is unnecessary to waste a lot of expensive cleaning liquid. Further processing according to the specific situation.

What's The Importance of Rip Software for Inkjet Printers?

It’s fair to say a RIP software is one of the most important elements of a successful printer’s workflow. It is used to transform designed pictures (many files types) into languages that can be recognized by the inkjet printer, thus the final print matches what is on the computer, make printing easier and more efficient. Today we mainly talk about several kinds of common-used RIP software for wide format inkjet printers, those are Maintop RIP software, Photoprint RIP software, and Ultraprint RIP software.

This blog will be combined with RIP software’s features & difference and our OnePrint printer’s actual usage.

Maintop RIP Software
Cause Maintop is cheap and ease-of-operation, widely used for domestic large format inkjet printers.


Advantages
It’s cheap, often regarded as a standard configuration for printing machines.
The page setup is concise and ease-of-use.
It works best on eco solvent printers, able to produce a vivid image showing fine layers and smooth gradations. (when construct graphic designs, suggest CMYK modes.)

Disadvantages
The Maintop control interface only support Chinese and English, other languages are not available. (Rest assured, we have detailed software operation guide)
Support limited file formats, a bit more cumbersome.
Solutions: when using graphic design software like CorelDRAW, Photoshop, Illustrator, suggest saved as JPG, TIF formats.

Note
There are 5.3 version and 6.0 version in Maintop RIP software.

Maintop 6.0 can support more file formats like PDF. But a large difference between the two is 6.0 version able to make spot color.

That means if you need white ink or varnish to create embossed effects, select 6.0. If you only need color inks, 5.3 is enough suitable.

Photoprint RIP Software

Advantages
The outstanding feature, also the reason for its popularity is the ability to install in 10 kinds of languages, including Chinese (simplified & traditional version), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish.
Allow users to transform designed pictures of almost all file formats.

3. The final print color reproduction is better than Maintop RIP software, you will get what you pay.

Note: Also two versions, PhotoPrint DX11 (color inks), PhotoPrint DX12 ( color inks+white ink/ varnish).

UltraPrint RIP Software

For OnePrint desktop UV flatbed printers and solvent printers, only UltraPrint RIP software is available.


Advantages
Compared with Maintop, UltraPrint can create a better color performance at a faster speed.
Support more file formats.

Disadvantages
The print console is English only.

Why The Price is Much Difference for Large Format Printers ?

This is also a printer selection guide serving for new beginning end-users who lack both experience and knowledge. With the same kind of digital printer boast the same capabilities, what’s the reason for a different price?

Ok, let’s have a look and go depth with the following points.  (No based on a fake printer, refitted printer or second-hand printer to talk about the price difference. here are original and new. )

 1. Printer Supplier
Identify the nature of the printer supplier.

Whether the large format printer supplier is a manufacturer, distributor, OEM production agent or solo sales.
If you buy from manufacturers, the price is the lowest.
Most factory will also choose OEM production for some printer series to make up the insufficiency in technology. (If you buy the OEM production printers, the price is nearly the same as distributors. )
There is a number of customers like to reach cooperation with the agent due to all-sided and meticulous service.
Solo sales are no need to spend money on running a business company, usually developing business by small profit margins and quick returns. Buying printers from them, the price is cheaper than distributors.
2. The printer supplier’ brand level. like Roland, Mimaki, Mutoh…their printer price is much more expensive than domestic printers.


2. Printhead
The printhead is the most expensive and core parts for inkjet printers.

Different brand and models, industrial or non-industrial, locked or unlocked,  the print head price is much different.

As the price of Epson DX5 is 1050USD, while the Epson XP600 price is 200USD, industry-class Ricoh Gen5 head is 1800USD. Which printhead should you choose is depending much on your business demand, (resolution, speed, lifespan.)


To some extent, the printers’ printhead configuration (model and quantity) shows the supplier technical level.

Here are some printhead comparison blog, you can check:

 Epson Printhead VS Konica Printhead VS Ricoh Printhead


3. Printer Parts, Machine Design, Control System
Printer Parts

Like servo motor, drag chain, guide rail, belt, ink pump, bearing…these are printers’ core parts, the brand name can be recognized by parts itself. Famous brands are more quality-assured, help you away from maintenance troubles.


Here we talk about the control system and RIP software.

Widely-used Control System:  BYHX system, Hoson system, UMC system… Using authoritative printer system also can confirm suppliers’ technical level. The printer system is closely related to output quality and stability.
Common-used RIP Software: PhotoPrint, Maintop, Onyx, UltraPrint… Check Maintop, UltraPrint, PhotoPrint Difference.
Machine Design: Printing Width, Steel or Aluminum

If your targeted printer supplier has large size printers, to some degree, ensuring the power. And the wider printing width will lead to more expensive machine design, to support the smooth and accurate movement.

Meanwhile, all core structures are made of aluminum will result in consistent carriage move with a long lifespan compared to the steel structure.


4. Price Component
You should clarify whether the price is bare machine price, or including printhead, media take up system, heating system…Optional parts also cost much…
