Manage White Ink

Introduction
White ink is re-circulated in the system to limit any settling of the ink. For this to take place, the
printer must be left powered on at all times. Regular maintenance is required to keep the white
printheads functioning properly. This may involve additional purge cycles.
IMPORTANT
Daily maintenance is important even when white ink is not being actively used. Failure to
perform daily maintenance can result in nozzle dropouts. The purpose of maintenance is to clean
the nozzles of the printheads and thus ensure better image quality.
IMPORTANT
If your printer includes the white ink option, a white ink bag must be present in order for the
printer to function properly.
Procedure
1. Agitate the white ink bag gently once a day.
2. Perform Printhead Maintenance for white even if the printer is not used that day.
NOTE
Refer to
daily maintenance.
