InkJet Problems - Ink Splashes

Ink Splashes are not a common problem and when they do occur it is normally easy to rectify, the cause for this is most likely one of the follow:

 If your printer is attached to a continuous ink system the bottles may be too full. In this case either siphon out 1 - 2 centimetres of ink from the full bottle(s).
The bottles may be too high in relation to the base of the printer. In this case make sure the bottles are at the same level as the base of the printer.

There is a large build up of ink on the printers parking pad. This can get caught as the printer changes direction. For information on cleaning the parking pad please call us on 01204 592071
You may also need to clean the print head too.

 If using cartridges, they are not seated in the print head correctly. In this case push them down so they are properly seated.

There could be an object blocking one or more of the print head nozzles. This causes the ink to become trapped underneath the print head, which builds up causing matter to be thrown off the print head.

To clean the underside of the print head please refer to the windowlene trick by clicking here. It is also advisable to check the inside of your printer for any stray objects such as hairs, fibres or small strands of paper.
