Excessive Misting / Nozzle Drops Out / Ink Smearing or Dripping
Is the object charged with static electricity?
If the object is charged with static electricity, the print heads will not be able to discharge ink correctly. As a result, issues such as mist generation, nozzle drop-out, contamination of the object, ink smearing, and ink dripping may occur.
- Remove static electricity from workers.
Workers should wear clothing and shoes that are resistant to generation of static electricity, and touch a wall or other surface before touching the object to discharge any static electricity from the workers.
- Remove any static electricity from the object.
It is easy for the object to be charged with static electricity when the protective sheet or film is removed from the object. Use a static removal brush or anti-static cloth to discharge any static electricity from the object.
- Humidify the area around the printer to prevent static electricity generation.
Low temperatures and humidity are conducive to the generation of static electricity. Use the machine in an environment of 35-80% RH (no condensation), for example, by humidifying the room with a humidifier.
