Daily Maintenance Recommendations:

To maintain optimal printing conditions and extend printhead life, we recommend the following:
1.Use recommended matching inks.
2.Follow proper printhead cleaning procedures, such as using a dedicated cleaning fluid, and observe safe handling practices.
3.Avoid exposing the printhead to air or leaving it idle for extended periods to prevent ink drying and clogging the nozzles.

 
Note:The printhead interface and driver methods may vary between different printer models. To ensure compatibility and proper operation, we strongly recommend verifying that the printhead is compatible with your specific printer model before purchasing.
