    Quick question. Why would my white under base print gray. All nozzle checks and print head cleanings come out fine but when printing my under base is gray. I have the appropriate setting with my chose on 4.
    That you for sharing the video.😊

      Usually Ink contamination, sometimes after a cleaning or when wet capping the inks can get be absorbed in different channels. Doing 1 or 2 prints in the rip should push out the dirty ink.

    Your CISS set-up appears to be different than your other CISS videos in that the ink lines are running along the back. Is there an updated video for this set-up? And did you completely remove the ink lines from the tanks, or just cut the lines to remove them along with the travel lock?

    Thank you for being so in-depth with your videos !! What do you suggest for print heads that are not stay raised for “ thick” paper … It is smearing all the time 😢

      Did you raise the print head? There are 2 screws that hold the position on the level. one on each side of the head...they are towards the top of the print carriage

    In your Ciss system setup video i see you ran the lines under neath the ink colors did you just switch the lines straight to the print head from the ciss system if that makes any sense

    DO YOU USE THE CISS SYSTEM BECAUSE IT HELPS WITH CLOGGING?

    • @HangryMuscle
      @HangryMuscle  2 місяці тому

      Yes the ciss makes it easier to swap out the ink and flush out the DTF ink residue from the printer.

      Make sure the dampers and everything is connected properly and when you clean the printer it may take a while for the dried DTF ink causing clogs to breakdown inside the printhead. Are you seeing the all the colors on the paper towel?

      It may take a few times, I recommend using a stronger DTF cleaner, that is made to break down and dissolve DTF ink residue inside the printer & Printhead. aaprintsupplyco.com/products/color-max-cleaning-solution-1kg?ref=hangrymuscle

      Just an update, turns out my white lines coagulated, or solidified inside of the cis line coming from the exterior tank. No idea how that happens but I’ve ordered a new cis system and I’ve connected my lines directly to the print head tanks from the cis. Hopefully that will be the fix. Hope this helps someone in the future.
