¶ DTF Cleaning Solution Usage Guidelines
¶ 1. Product Purpose
- DTF cleaning solution is specifically designed for daily maintenance and cleaning of DTF (Direct To Film) printing equipment. It effectively removes ink residue, dried ink stains, and impurities generated during the printing process, helping to keep components such as print heads, ink delivery systems, wipers, and capping stations clean, thereby ensuring consistent print quality.
- Proper use of cleaning solution can effectively reduce:
- Nozzle clogging
- Ink interruption or missing color
- White ink buildup
- Abnormal printing results
- Equipment downtime for maintenance
¶ 2. Pre-use precautions
Before using DTF cleaning solution, please follow the requirements below:
✅ Confirm that the cleaning solution model matches your printing device and ink type before use.
✅ Wear protective gloves during operation to avoid prolonged skin contact.
✅ Use dedicated cleaning tools such as lint-free swabs or non-woven cloths; avoid common paper towels or materials that shed fibers.
✅ Prevent liquid from entering electronic components such as circuit boards and motors during cleaning.
✅ Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions strictly.
¶ 3. Daily Maintenance Procedures
3.1 Cleaning the Print Head Surface
- Applicable to:
- Ink residue on the print head surface
- Minor line missing during nozzle test
- Maintenance required after prolonged printing
- Steps:
- Turn off the printer and enter maintenance mode.
- Apply a small amount of cleaning solution onto a lint-free cotton swab or dedicated cleaning tool.
- Gently wipe away any residual ink from the print head surface.
- After cleaning, wait for the surface to dry completely before performing nozzle inspection.
⚠️ Note: Do not use hard objects to scratch the print head. Do not press hard on the nozzle area of the print head.
3.2 Cleaning the Ink Pad (Capping Station)
- Applicable to:
- Ink pad accumulates excessive ink
- Automatic cleaning performance decreases
- Print head fails to properly return ink
- Steps:
- Move the print head to the maintenance position.
- Use cleaning solution to remove residual ink from the ink pad area.
