When Dot Drop-Out Cannot Be Cleared Up For White Ink, Gloss Ink, Or Primer - Roland LEF-300 Master Manual

When Dot Drop-Out Cannot Be Cleared Up for White Ink, Gloss Ink, or Primer

In this operation, all white ink, gloss ink and primer within the printer is discharged and the interior is
cleaned. The white ink, gloss ink, and primer are refilled after cleaning. This operation requires three SOL INK
cleaning cartridges. For information about purchasing SOL INK cleaning cartridges, contact your authorized
Roland DG Corp. dealer.
" If you want to perform maintenance on ink other than white ink, gloss ink and primer, see "Cleaning All
Print Heads" (p. 63).
MEMO
White ink tends to settle and may harden if left alone for a lengthy time. Therefore, abnormal ink emission
including dot drop-out tends to occur more frequently than with other inks, even when using the cleaning
function (normal, medium, or powerful) or manual cleaning.
Important notes on this procedure
• A large amount of ink will be discharged during this operation. Perform this operation only when ink emission
failures (such as dot drop-out) cannot be improved even after performing "normal," "medium,"powerful,"
and "manual" cleaning.

• Be sure to use SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Using any other cleaning cartridges may result in breakdown.
• Follow the procedure and fill the machine with ink as soon as possible. Leaving the machine alone without
ink may damage the print heads.
