Each time you place new ink cartridges in the printer, prime and calibrate
them to ensure the highest quality printed images. Priming is covered in
Chapter 2 and calibration procedures are discussed in Appendix A.
Ink cartridges generally last as long as the ink in a reservoir. When a
cartridge misfires or the quality deteriorates, you will want to replace it.
Purging ink delivery lines
You should purge the ink lines and rinse them with distilled water very
well before storing or transporting the printer. You will then have to
reprime the lines as described in Chapter 2.
To purge ink delivery lines
1
Remove all four cartridges before purging the ink lines.
2
Disconnect the ink delivery lines from the ink reservoirs. Carefully wipe
any excess ink from each connector using a paper towel before proceed-
ing.
3
Insert the tube that was in the cartridge into a container of distilled water.
4
Connect the NovaPrime to a connector at the ink reservoir and turn it on
until ink stops flowing into the collection bottle.
5
Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the lines.
