Re: [Digital BW] nozzle check

2015-08-14 by Ernst Dinkla

Ink overflow from another ink channel. Happens in the capping station. Sometimes the waste ink pump does not cope with the ink flow or the capping station seals are dirty and reduce the pump's sucking power. When cleaning ink from one channel flows into another channel if there is a difference in ink flow. Another less ideal concept is one wiper for the total of all channel nozzles, wiping debris and excessive ink from one side to the other.

Hi


Each time I refill my 1430 (Eb6 config) I usually wait 12 hours before using it; from time to time I learned that doing a nozzle check immediately after refilling, the results weren't so good. This was more air in the "pipes" than a blocked or dirty nozzle. On my last refilling, I had the same missing parts (cleared after 12 hours) but this time I saw a dark line in the "yellow" channel. It's now gone but can cause that?
