Preventative Maintenance

Printing a nozzle check before you start printing for the day will allow you to see if your printer needs any maintenance. If your nozzle check does not print normally, then your prints will not either. Also, printing a nozzle check once a day will help prevent clogs from forming in your print heads. This can be done manually or with the help of a program such as Harvey Head Cleaner

Another thing that will help keep your Epson printer clear from clogs is to clean the capping station about once a month. Different models have different procedures for this, however, you should be able to find how this is done for your specific printer on CondeTV.

After following the procedures, allow the printer to sit overnight while soaking.

Moisture in your paper can also cause problems with your printer and your prints. If you store your sublimation paper opened and on a shelf where it is susceptible to the elements, moisture can soak into your paper and that can cause paper jams or print quality issues. It is best to store your paper in an airtight container such as a ziplock bag or storage box.
