EPSON STYLUS PROBLEM
coverman design
The reason for that, is that we have to print very much. The printers print
on a kind of plastic film and with a special kind of ink. The problem is,
that after short period (few days), they get stuck(the printheads are dirty)
The technique we use to print is called piëzzo
The special kind of ink(waterbased), is delivered in tins. We have to refill
the cartridges.
We can clean the printheads the normal way a few times, but if we return to
work after the weekend or don't print one day, they can't be cleaned
anymore...
Then we use some kind of cleaner-solution (of wich we don't know what it
is). That solution is a product we got from the ink-supplier. This solution
is very aggressive.When we use this too often, the printerheads kind of
melt/get weak... and printers don't work anymore.
Is there anyone who can help us in this matter???
We already bought about 20 printers in a short period of time... we need
help, because the printers cost us a lot.

are used to cover housings for cell-phones.
That's about all we know, because the manufactor of the inks can't give us
the details about inks. They are patented...

Epson printers are notorious for clogged printheads. Can you get the
inks you need for Canon printers? If so, that's your best course of
action.

form a hard crust that resists water. The solvent provided by the ink
manufacturer is an acid which is why repeated uses destroys the printhead.
If 1 or 2 attempts at unclogging the printhead with the solvent fail your
only recourse is to physically replace the printhead itself.

based. That's why you get printhead clogged in a few hours. On the other
hand, water based inks can't print on not very special films and even though
they aren't water-resistant or or light-fast.
I have sent you a direct email, for buying 1160 from Greece. Reply, may I
could help you.

If you can remove the printheads to replace them, why not remove them
when your done printing and store them in a jar of water so the ink
won't dry. Being water based it should dissolve in the water nicely.
Have Fun,
Jeff

I was thinking about your descripton of the ink. Waterbased ink that
dries into a waterproof crusty material sounds like acrylic paint. You
may want to check with your supplier to see if this is the case. If so,
there are products out that allow artists to remove dried acrylic paint
from brushes with no damage to the brush. This same compound may clean
your print heads without damaging them.
Have Fun,
Jeff
