A guide on how to perform the maintenance procedure that will keep your printers up and running even after 30 days of inactivity.
One of the unique advantages of Polyprint's TexJet dtg printers is that they can stay idle for up to 30 days, without the need of a power supply. During this idle time, you don't need to make a cleaning, nor operate the printer. No maintenance is required, so you have zero ink waste.
The maintenance type that is recommended for printers that are staying idle for a short time period is described thoroughly bellow. During this procedure the printhead should be maintained on a wet cap that prevents it from drying. The printer can stay up to 30 days in this state, without the need for any automatic cleanings and therefore avoiding ink waste.
