Daily Beginning Agitate White and Varnish Bottles To prevent white and varnish ink from settling, please agitate the ink bottle every day. If it’s used, please remove the paper cover on the cap to prevent any paper from mixing with the white ink. Shake the bottles for at least 20 seconds. Perform Nozzle Check Perform a nozzle test before sending a print job to ensure that you get good quality prints every time.

Daily End of the Day Clean Around Head It’s important to clean around the head for any build-up inks at the end of every day. Build-up inks can get on to the printhead from the wiper and can potentially damage the printhead. Clean Wiper Blade/Cap Top Wiper Blade: Same as cleaning around the head, making sure the wiper blade is cleaned is very important to obtain a good nozzle check.
