How to Use DTF Printhead Cleaning Solution?

Method 1: Capping Station Soak (Safest – Recommended First)

What You Need:

• DTF cleaning solution (high-strength if clogged)
• Syringe or dropper
• Lint-free swab
• Gloves

Steps:

1. Move the printhead to the side.
2. Fill the capping station (the rubber pad where the printhead rests) with 1–2 ml of cleaning solution using a syringe or dropper.
3. Slide the printhead back over the capping station so it sits directly on the solution.
4. Leave it to soak for minimum 15 min. or 4-5 hours to overnight for bad clogs.
5. After soaking, power on the printer.
6. Run 3–5 head cleaning cycles from the printer software or control panel.
7. Print a nozzle check to evaluate.

Method 2: Manual Flushing Through Dampers (For Stubborn Clogs)

Use only if soaking doesn’t work. Requires care.

What You Need:

• Syringe with silicone tubing
• DTF printhead cleaning solution
• Gloves and tissue
• Lint-free cloth

Steps:

1. Power off and unplug the printer.
2. Open the printer and find the ink dampers (connected to the printhead).
3. Remove the damper of the clogged color.
4. Attach syringe (filled with 1–2 ml cleaning solution) to the damper port or directly to printhead inlet (via tubing).
5. Slowly and gently push cleaning solution through the port. Never force!
6. Let solution sit inside for 10–15 minutes.
7. Gently flush again. You should see ink and residue drip from the nozzle surface.
8. Repeat if necessary.
9. Reconnect dampers, run 2–3 head cleans, then test print.
