5-5 The Replacement of the Head Cap
The Replacement Cycle for the Head Cap
The head cap is due for replacement when the triangle at its tip is worn away as shown in the figure. Replace
it with a new head cap.
The degree of wear may vary according to printing conditions. In particular, printing that makes extensive
use of island fill and other line-drawing operations on materials such as aluminum results in especially rapid
wear because of the extensive unevenness of the material surface. Periodically check the state of the head
cap to ensure that it is replaced as often as needed.
