Usage
:Compatibility Check (Critical): Before purchasing and installing, absolutely verify if your 12.7mm TIJ printer has an active RFID chip that restricts the use of third-party cartridges. Failure to do so may result in the cartridge not being recognized or causing printer issues. Consult your printer's manual or the original supplier.
Installation: Open your TIJ printer's cartridge bay and carefully insert the Red Colour 12.7mm Cartridge into the designated slot, ensuring it is correctly oriented and securely locked according to the printer's instructions.
Priming (if necessary): Some TIJ printers may require a priming process after installing a new ink cartridge. Follow your printer's manual for the correct priming procedure. This ensures the ink flows properly to the printhead.
Printing: Once installed and primed, you can begin printing. Adjust your printer settings (font, size, etc.) as needed for your application. Be mindful such inks typically dry quickly.
Monitoring Ink Levels: Your printer should have a system to monitor the ink level. Keep track of it to plan for timely replacement.
Maintenance:
- Storage: Store the cartridge in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. These inks are flammable, so keep them away from open flames and sparks. Ensure the cartridge is sealed when not in use.
- Nozzle Protection: Avoid touching the print nozzles on the bottom of the cartridge. Such ink Cartridgescan be more aggressive than water-based inks, and contamination can lead to clogs.
- Cleaning (if necessary): If you experience print quality issues, consult your printer's manual for recommended cleaning procedures for cartridges. Use only approved cleaning solutions specifically designed for ink cartridges and follow the instructions carefully. Proper ventilation is essential when working with ink and cleaning solutions.
- Proper Sealing: If you need to temporarily remove the cartridge, immediately seal the nozzle area with a clean, lint-free cloth or the protective cap to prevent the ink from evaporating and the ink from drying out in the nozzles.
- Regular Use: Regular use helps prevent the ink from drying out and clogging the nozzles. If the printer will be idle for an extended period, it's best to remove the cartridge, seal it properly, and store it according to the recommendations.
- Disposal: Dispose of used ink cartridges according to local regulations for hazardous waste. Do not puncture or incinerate them.
