Ink Maintenance; Wiper Cleaning - MIMAKI JV100 Care And Maintenance

2. Maintenance Methods

Ink Maintenance

If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
cartridge periodically to keep printing consistent.
Solvent ink: once a month.
Orange ink: once a week.
l Orange Ink
The "Shake Orange ink cartridge" message appears every 24 hours. When this message appears, shake the
orange ink cartridge.
l Shaking the Ink cartridge
1
Shake the Ink cartridge to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Shake the case slowly from left to right to ensure that the ink moves inside.
• If the ink cartridge is partially used, cover the gap between the side and the ink cartridge
opening with a paper towel and shake slowly at an angle until the ink cartridge becomes
upright.

Wiper Cleaning

The wiper wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. Continuing to use the dirty wiper may
cause the wiper to which dried ink and dust are attached to rub against the nozzle surface, leading to printing
defects (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
