The Best Working Conditions For DTG Printers

For the business as a whole and the individuals involved, operating DTG printers in perfect working conditions is crucial. What is this implying for a DTG Printer? Security, convenience, temperature, and humidity are the most important factors that determine the normal operation of DTG printers.

It is first important to stay clear of narrow and narrow work spaces; Such stations often cause confusion and mistakes. A comfortable and convenient workstation permits workers to walk conveniently, and efficiently, and maximize their workflow.

It is also essential to monitor the humidity and temperature to improve the efficiency of your DTG printer. Our DTG printers are best at room temperature (between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius) and the ideal temperature is between 20 and 30degC. If you operate the printer at or below the recommended temperature, it may cause ink concentration to change and eventually lead to a blockage of the ink system. This could also result in the print head clogging nozzles. Furthermore, whether you use a heat press or a tunnel dryer, these devices require stability at high temperatures to cure the garment. Therefore, the room temperature should be within the range recommended by the manufacturer.

Direct garment printers can be used to produce more attractive DTG printing through the control of humidity and the surroundings. You can have the look of a professional shirt by maintaining the DTG at a standard and constant "room temperature". This will lower your maintenance and ink expenses. No matter which model of DTG machine you are using greater humidity aids in the flow of ink and stops the printing head's nozzles from getting blocked.

It is suggested that humidifiers be utilized to increase humidity if needed. Dry areas increase the chance of printhead clogging and can result in excessive cleaning (automatic).

Windows in rooms not only provide fresh air and natural lighting and light, but they also serve as natural humidifiers!

Keep the humidity in between 45% and 60 60%. The moisture level can change from a high-concentration area to a low-concentration area. This means that if the humidity of the air around the printer is too low, the air will start to draw the moisture in the water-based DTG ink into the air. This process of water removal makes the ink dry faster, not only on the shirt but also inside the print head. The ink will dry faster than anticipated and will settle on the print head the print line and the machine.

The reason you don't have clogged print heads does not mean that the humidity level is correct. Another issue that can arise that is caused by low humidity is the risk that the printer is overheating. Because of the high temperature of DTG printers, they can be cooled automatically by automated flushing of nozzles and cleaning ink. This is the same way as the time a computer turns off its internal fan. The repeated flow of ink through the printer's head reduces the temperature of the printer but will waste lots of ink.

The final point is that operating a DTG in a hot or cold environment requires you to replace the air filter frequently. DTG printers also can make up for poor conditions by adding air from outside. When compared to normal conditions, this method causes the air filter to be consumed more often.

Monitoring the humidity level will make it easier to save time and money. You will avoid the inconvenience caused by increased maintenance if you have a hygrometer along with the humidifier when you need it. Also, you will save on the cost of DTG ink for automatic print head cleaning. Remember that the smaller the space, the easier you'll be able to regulate the humidity. If necessary, move your DTG to a smaller area if the humidity is not right.

In addition, make sure your DTG printing device is shielded from heat that the press or the dryers release into the atmosphere. Ideally, put your printer on the opposite side of the Heat Press or at least some distance from any curing solutions used.

It is also crucial to plan regular maintenance checks and study the manual. Nowadays, a variety of DTG printers, such as the Sublistar DTG Pro printer, are equipped with automated cleaning and maintenance cycles. Two things you must still do manually are agitate (shake) your white ink cartridge and check the printhead. You'll have to shake the white cartridges for 30 seconds each day.

The Test of the nozzle is a test that displays the state of each nozzle in the printhead. Clogged nozzles can result from the absence of activity, a dusty or dry space, or a lack of inks. Even if you're not planning to print, it's important to examine the nozzles on your print heads each day. This will keep the ink flowing and avoid problems with your printhead.
