What can we do if the white ink cannot output of the DTF printer?
Firstly, we need to know your printer is new installation one or already used a while. If its new printer, please check as below:
1.Make sure Ink path work well.
- Ensure the ink tank with enough ink (2/3 at least), and the cover of tank should be a bit loose.
- Check the ink tube and damper if any air leakage, broken or bending.
- Check if all path loading ink well, the ink shunt device if with enough ink. TODOjet all DTF printer with ink shunt buffer device for white ink, to make sure the ink supply more fluently.
Tips: Please don’t print immediately after loading ink of new installation printer, need to wait about 10 mintues, when all stirring and circulating working and the shunt device with enough ink, then can start to print.
2. Make sure the printhead cable connect well with the carriage board.
If the cable connect reversed it may burn the head. Please follow the instruction guide step by step. All TODOjet printer with detail connection guide, and we can also install the printhead well before send out if you need.
