How to Maintain UV Printer Printheads and Extend Their Service Life?

The UV printhead is the core component of a UV printer. Neglecting its daily maintenance will lead to frequent printhead damage within a year, resulting in unnecessary financial losses for you.

1. 1.Run a nozzle check test right after powering on the machine every day. The test helps you identify nozzle clogging issues  in a timely manner.
2. 2.After finishing daily printing work, residual UV ink remains inside the printhead. You need to moisturize the printhead and  wipe off surface debris, which effectively prevents nozzle clogging.
3. 3.Use original manufacturer UV ink. Ink selection is critical. Never cut corners by buying inferior cheap ink, as it will damage              printheads and drastically shorten their service life.
