For so long, I still don't know how to clean the printer's nozzle.

Compared with laser printers, ink jet printers are favored by enterprises and individual users because of their low price and high cost performance, especially those that meet the needs of color printing, and are integrated with printing, copying and scanning. As we see, there are more and more entry - level inkjet printers, in addition to the daily business needs of the enterprise users, to meet the needs of many household needs, such as photo printing, children's handwork, and so on. However, as the core component of inkjet printer, the daily maintenance of print nozzles is often overlooked. What should I do when you encounter a plug in a sprinkler?

Instead of spending money on a sprinkler, it's better to learn daily care by yourself. Of course, before that, you first need to understand the structure of the inkjet printer's nozzle.

Principle of spray head of inkjet printer

At present, the common structure of nozzle is mainly divided into two parts: inkjet head and ink box integrated machine and separated type. Among them, the ink head structure is replaced with ink box and ink box after the ink box is exhausted. Its advantages are close combination, high reliability and relatively high cost. The separation structure, as the name implies, is separated from ink head and ink box, so the ink box can be replaced alone after the ink is exhausted. In comparison, it is more cost saving.

Different causes of "blocking the head", different treatment

When the inkjet printer has "plug" phenomenon, it usually appears to often appear broken lines, color missing, blurred handwriting, and even can not normally print, but the "plug" is also roughly divided into two kinds of soft plugs and hard plugs, and the different causes are also slightly different in the processing way.

Soft plug

Soft plug refers to the ink viscosity caused by a variety of reasons, resulting in a broken line fault. When dealing with the soft plug, it is usually just dipped in the original ink and can be cleaned again and again. The operation is simple and fast, and there is no physical damage. It is just a waste of ink. In addition, you can also use the printer head cleaning function in the printer driver to clean, which is easier to operate, but the cleaning effect is not ideal.

Hard plug

When the blockage is relatively light, a small 95% concentration of organic solvent alcohol can be added to a smooth flat bottom metal container, with a stainless steel edge without printing head (never let the PCB plate contact alcohol) and soak for 2 hours to 4 days. If the nozzle is blocked more seriously, it is necessary to have a concentration of 95% alcohol. Prepare a clean cup, disposable syringe and disposable infusion set. By injecting the pressure generated by siphon, the alcohol is injected into the print head to clean up the dried ink head.

Maintenance advice

Compared with enterprise users, the printing frequency of home users is much lower than that of the enterprise users. Although the ink is a solvent, but because the ink is solvent, the volatility is strong, the ink will evaporate in the nozzle for a long time. The remaining ink will be attached to the wall of the tube or coagulate into block, causing the nozzle to be blocked. Therefore, even if the document is not printed, it is also best to start the machine regularly so that the printer can automatically fill the ink one time to ensure that the nozzle is unblocked.

In addition, in order to save ink, you can print documents or pictures that need to be printed together, which can reduce the number of ink filling and achieve the purpose of saving ink. For ordinary manuscripts, low resolution printing can be used to save ink and shorten printing time.
