There are two types of inks for eco solvent printer, one is water-based ink and the other is eco-solvent ink. The two inks cannot be mixed, but in actual use, due to various reasons, there may be a problem of the wrong ink being added to the eco solvent printer. So when encountering this kind of situation, how should we deal with it quickly and effectively?

The hazards of ink mixing
Inks with different properties cannot be mixed. If water-based inks and eco-solvent inks are mixed, there will be two types of inks.

The phenomenon that the ink chemical reaction generates deposits, which in
turn blocks the ink supply system and printheads.

Except that inks with different properties cannot be mixed, inks from different manufacturers with the same properties cannot be mixed.

When you accidentally add wrong ink to the eco solvent printer, you must first determine which part of the ink supply system the newly added ink has entered, and then make different treatments according to the specific situation.


1.When the ink has just entered the ink cartridge and has not yet flowed into the ink supply ink path: In this case, you only need to replace the ink cartridge or clean the ink cartridge.

2.When the ink enters the ink supply path, but has not yet entered the eco solvent printer: In this case, clean the entire ink supply system, including ink cartridges, ink tubes and ink sacs, and replace these parts if necessary.

3. When the ink enters the printhead: At this time, in addition to cleaning and replacing the entire ink circuit (including ink cartridges, ink tubes, ink sacs, and ink stacks), you also need to remove the printer printheads immediately and thoroughly clean them with cleaning fluid.

The printhead of the eco solvent printer is a very delicate part. Be careful during work and try not to add the wrong ink. If it does happen accidentally, you should deal with it as soon as possible according to the above steps to prevent unnecessary damage to the printhead.
