How to maintain and clean inkjet printer nozzles

2026-01-08 Click: 8

With the rise of the domestic inkjet printer industry, Delico inkjet printers have been used more and more widely in recent years. Brand companies in the rubber, medicine, steel pipe, gypsum board and other industries have been equipped, making up for the traceability of large-scale products. There is a gap in anti-counterfeiting. Before this, it was common for products such as gypsum board and steel pipes to flee and replace them with inferior goods after several attempts. In the end, it was the consumers and the original manufacturers who suffered, and it was quite a dumb person who suffered unspeakable taste of suffering from coptis chinensis.



Nowadays, this problem has been well solved after the successful application of inkjet printers. Date, LOGO, barcode and other information can be clearly and eye-catching on the surface of large-format products, and the barcode recognition rate can often be more than 90%. The excellent performance of the equipment and professional debugging can even achieve more than 99%. The recognition rate of the inkjet printer project of Shengresai Logo Company is more than 99% after CCD visual inspection. This is undoubtedly the icing on the cake for a high-speed and efficient production line.

Current situation of sprinkler plugs



However, nothing is perfect. For Delico inkjet printer, the nozzle is the final executor and the core component. The printing speed, clarity, continuity, etc. are all affected by the state of the nozzle, and the nozzle is easy to get blocked under frequent improper operation, ink quality, long-term storage, etc., which not only affects the production of the production line, but also increases the burden of after-sales maintenance. If not repaired in time, it may even cause permanent plugs. Making the sprinkler useless. If you change the sprinkler head, the cost will be high! Therefore, daily maintenance reduces blockages, and you can easily respond to emergencies! Next, let's talk about the reasons for the plug and how to maintain the sprinkler head.



Causes of nozzle clogging and simple solutions:



1.[Bubble plug] The ink has poor defoaming performance, and bubbles will be generated in the ink. Once the bubbles enter the nozzle, they will be difficult to come out, causing air blockages.



2.[Miscellaneous plug] Tiny particles in the ink enter the nozzle and are blocked in the narrow channel where the ink is discharged.



3.[Filter Plug] Sundries and harmful solvents in inferior ink are blocked in front of the filter and will be blocked over a long time.



4.[Dry plug] If the nozzle is not used for a long time, the ink will dry up and cause the plug.



5.[Chemical plugs] When inks of different properties are used, debris will cause plugs after chemical reactions.



6.[Corrupt plugs] occur when the temperature is high, bacteria in the ink multiply, the ink becomes corrupt and denatured, and debris appears inside the nozzle.



7.[Scale-forming plugs] The ink itself has excellent water quality when produced. When using this type of ink for a long time, dirt will be on the nozzle, causing the effective diameter of the nozzle to become smaller, and the nozzle often starts to appear with horizontal stripes.



8.[Oily Blugs] The ink truck requires lubricating oil, which will volatilize and spread to the nozzle, changing the physical properties of the nozzle and causing a plug.



9.[Electrical Plug] The nozzle is set to test the electrical properties of ink or ink cartridge chips. When there is non-standard ink or chip, the ink valve is closed to varying degrees, and the ink cannot pass through normally, which is called a false plug.



10.[Dirty Plug] The nozzle is exposed to the outside, and dust particles in the air are adsorbed on the nozzle, causing the plug.



So, how can we properly maintain it during daily use to reduce the frequency of clogging nozzles?



First of all, the vast majority of nozzle blockages are caused by ink quality and ink consolidation, and the focus of daily maintenance is also on these two aspects. Ink quality, as the name suggests, refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the ink itself and its compatibility with the nozzle equipment. Try to choose a professional ink manufacturer to match the appropriate ink to reduce the impact of ink quality problems on the service life of the nozzle. Most of the ink consolidation is caused by long-term storage. Correspondingly, a good moisturizing seal can slow the speed of ink consolidation.



Moisture sealing mainly lies in the sealing of the ink supply system and the moisturizing of the nozzle holes. Water-based inks have low requirements in terms of sealing and can even be ignored. However, solvent-based inks, which are used more on DOD Delico inkjet printers, are easier to consolidate. Therefore, the ink supply system of the DOD Delico inkjet printer marked by Senriça adopts a sealed design, which is better. Avoid this problem. Another point of moisturizing the spray holes is that if the nozzle is not used for a short period of time, the operator needs to wipe the spray holes with a professional cleaning agent to ensure that there is no ink hanging, and then apply a special moisturizing agent, thereby slowing down the ink at the spray holes. The condition of rapid consolidation after exposure to air for a long time.



In general, the classification and solutions of sprinkler plugging phenomena can be roughly divided into two categories: soft plugs and hard plugs. Of course, if the blockage is not serious, it can be flushed by soaking it with a special cleaning agent. If it still cannot be flushed after three times, you need to contact professional after-sales personnel for maintenance.



Of course, there are also some Delico inkjet printers on the market that can automatically clean the spray holes without serious clogging. For example, Delico inkjet printers only need to clean the nozzle when it is necessary to clean the nozzle. Clean the interface according to the steps:



1. Click "Manual Cleaning-Execution" to see if there are blocked nozzles;



2. Find the nozzle that does not spray ink according to the first step, and find the corresponding nozzle in "Nozzle Settings";



3. If the nozzle is not opened by clicking "Manual Cleaning-Execution" for more than three consecutive times, it means that the nozzle is seriously blocked;



4. For severely blocked nozzles, professional maintenance personnel need to be contacted for cleaning.
