Introduction to inks for digital inkjet printing
1. Introduction to digital inkjet printing ink Inkjet printing systems are mainly divided into two types based on different principles. One is an inkjet printing machine produced using micro-piezoelectric technology using CAD/CAM software provided by Sophis, and the other is an inkjet printing machine produced using the principle of hot pressing. The former is suitable for reactive dyes and disperse dyes, and the latter is suitable for acid dyes. Domestic printing and dyeing factories have purchased several sets of digital inkjet printing machines, mainly the printing system produced by Japan's MIMAKI Company and the A'TEX PRINT TEX-1300/1600 digital inkjet printing machine produced by Hangzhou Honghua Company. Both of these printing machines are produced using the piezoelectric principle. Digital inkjet printing technology has been used in the production process of printing and dyeing factories. Seiren is currently the largest fabric printing company in Japan. It has built its own inkjet printing production system. Its digital printing products produced using reactive dyes, disperse dyes, and acid dyes are already on the market. 2. Ink for digital inkjet printing There are two ways of digital inkjet printing. One is YMCIC inkjet printing based on high-precision nozzles, that is, dot matrix printing; the other is pre-mixing, which pre-mixes the dyes into a certain color and sprays them onto the fabric. When applying the YMCK method for printing, in order to obtain high fineness and smooth light transition colors, high resolution (high mountain p) must be used, which requires the fineness of the nozzle to be very small, and the requirements for ink are also very high. It is difficult to increase the inkjet speed, but the number of dyes used is relatively small, and the basic colors are four colors. The pre-mixing method does not require high nozzle fineness. 180dP can meet general requirements, and 360dP can obtain very fine printing effects. The printed products are close to the style of plate printing. Due to the large nozzle diameter, the requirements for dyes are not high. In the future, digital inkjet printing will develop in these two directions to meet the different requirements of users. 1. YMCK inkjet printing ink YMCK is a widely used printing method. The inkjet printing machines sold on the market are also mainly designed for this purpose. Since the nozzle diameter of the nozzle is very small and the printing resolution is high, the viscosity, surface tension, inorganic salt content and particle fineness of the dye are very high. The world's major dye companies and companies producing inkjet printing machines have all developed inks for inkjet printing. Ciba Specialty Chemicals has applied for a patent for active dye inks for inkjet printing. Active dyes containing active groups such as monochlorotriazine and monofluorotriazine ethyl alum sulfate are used for digital inkjet printing inks. First, the inorganic salts in the dyes are removed by membrane separation methods such as ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. 1,2-propanol or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are used as solubilizing solvents, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose or alginate are used as thickeners, and PH buffers and mildew inhibitors are added to make inkjet inks. Printing with a micro-piezoelectric inkjet printing machine has achieved good results. Canon has applied for a patent for the preparation of disperse dye inkjet inks, which can be used for fabric printing using a thermal foaming inkjet printer. Pigment-based inkjet printing inks are also a focus of recent development. These inks can be used for various fibers and their blended fabrics, do not require fabric pretreatment, and can achieve satisfactory color fastness.

Some precautions for the inkjet printer to stop printing suddenly
1. Use genuine antivirus software to detect whether there is a computer virus. 2. Check the remaining available space on the computer C drive (generally, ensure that the available space is less than 2G). Since a large amount of hard disk space is used to store temporary files when raster image processing is performed, if the available space on the hard disk is exhausted and RIP can no longer be performed, it will also cause printing interruption. Generally speaking, the temporary file size required for each graphic file is usually 3-4 times the size of the source file. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the hard disk space is sufficient before large-scale printing. 3. Regularly organize hard disk files and eliminate disk fragments. Sometimes, although the remaining space on the hard disk is sufficient for normal printing, it often cannot proceed smoothly. This is mainly because temporary files must be stored in continuous space on the hard disk. If the files on the hard disk are too scattered or there are too many disk fragments, the continuous available space will be insufficient. Therefore, it is recommended to frequently delete or transfer some useless or infrequently used files to free up hard disk space. In addition, follow the following operations to defragment the disk: "Start" > "Programs" > "System Tools" > "Disk Defragmenter", generally, defragment the C drive. 4. Close unnecessary applications and release system resources as much as possible. Since too many unnecessary applications are opened, system resources are exhausted, causing the normal connection between the computer and the inkjet printer to be destroyed, and inkjet printing may also be interrupted. Therefore, before large-format inkjet printing, it is recommended to restart the WINSDOWS system and only run PHOTOPRINT or MAINTOP software for inkjet printing. In addition, it is also a strong suggestion to delete the unnecessary self-starting programs in the "Start" > "Startup" program group. 5. During the inkjet printing process, put the production manager (PRODUCTIONMANAGER) at the forefront of all running windows to ensure that the program can obtain as much system resources and CPU processing time as possible (for PHOTOPRINT software). 6. Check the working environment. Please check whether there are high-power electrical equipment such as air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. around the workshop. Strong electromagnetic fields will interfere with the output of the inkjet printer. At the same time, do not put the inkjet printer and high-power electrical equipment on the same power supply line. Moreover, in areas with unstable power supply, it is best to equip the inkjet printer and computer with an online uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In addition, please do not use mobile phones near the inkjet printer. 7. Make sure the inkjet printer and computer are well grounded. Static electricity will have an adverse effect on signal transmission, so please use high-quality three-phase power sockets and plugs, and use a real ground wire. 8. High-quality large-capacity memory. It is recommended to configure more than 128MB of memory, and it is best to use a high-quality SDRAM memory with ECC verification. Please do not use memory of different brands or different capacities at the same time. 9. RIP the file before output. When using PHOTOPRINT software for output, select (Save as file), the software will RIP the job into a file in PRI format, and then use READYPRINT to output. When using MAINTOP software for output, change the terminal product to (FILES), and the software will RIP the job into a file in PRT format. Then, restart the computer, enter DOS mode, put the inkjet printer online, and COPY *.PRT.

What should I do if the inkjet printer suddenly stops printing?
Phenomenon: When using PHOTOPRINT or MAINTOP software to print, the printing stops suddenly when a certain part is printed, but PHOTOPRINT or MAINTOP software still displays that information is being output. This phenomenon is more common in the following situations: 1. Large-format printing 2. High-precision printing such as 8PASS 3. Slow computer operation speed 4. Slow transmission speed of the computer's print port Solution suggestions: First, set the computer's print port to ECP print port. Printers that support ECP print ports are much faster than those that do not support ECP print ports. MIMAKI JV2-130 inkjet printer itself supports ECP function, so if the above phenomenon occurs, please check whether the computer has been set to use ECP print port. If not, please follow the following method to set it up: Now take AWARDBIOS as an example to introduce the setting method: Press DEL key to enter CMOS setting when the computer performs hardware self-test, enter INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS function option, and set PARALLEL PORT MODE to ECP (Note: it must be pure ECP, not EPP, SPP or ECP/EPP), * Save and exit BIOS setting, then the computer will restart, WINDOWS system will automatically detect ECP print port and install driver for it, then you can use the high-speed transmission performance provided by ECP print port. Second, use IEEE1284 double-shielded ECP cable (recommended, not necessary) The length of the print cable is too long or the quality is poor, which will affect the correctness of data transmission, so we recommend using IEEE1284 double-shielded ECP cable with a length of less than 2 meters. In addition, when the printing is interrupted, first check whether the connectors at both ends of the printing cable are loose, because sometimes the vibration of the machine during operation may cause the wiring to loosen. At the same time, replacing other printing cables that can be used for replacement testing is also a common and effective detection method. Third, turn off the computer's automatic power management function Because the printing work takes a long time, during the printing process, most customers often let the computer automatically perform calculations and outputs without performing other operations. If the power management function is turned on, the hard disk or CPU will automatically stop running after a certain period of time, which will form the illusion that the information transmission has actually been terminated, but the software display is still transmitting. The method to turn off automatic power management is as follows: 1. Take AWARDDIOS as an example to introduce the setting method in CMOS: Press the DEL key to enter the CMOS setting when the computer is performing hardware self-test, enter the POWERMANAGEMENTSETUP function option, set the POWERMANAGEMENT to DISABLE, and then save and exit the BIOS setting. 2. To turn off the automatic power management function in the WINDOWS98 system, please do the following: "Start" > "Settings" > "Control Panel" > "Power Management", set "Turn off the hard disk" to "Never". Fourth, adjust some settings in PHOTOPRINT or MAINTOP software. Please do the following: "Edit" > "Settings" > "Output Devices" > "Settings" > "Communications", and then adjust the value of "NOTSELECTED" to "120". Extend the printer's timeout setting. Go to Edit > Settings > Output Devices > Settings > Communications and set Transmissionretry to 100 minutes.

What are the differences between digital inkjet printing and traditional printing?
1. Digital inkjet printing is cheaper than traditional printing in small batch production (less than 1000m). This lays a good foundation for adapting to the market of multiple varieties and small batches. 2. The data and process plans required in the digital inkjet printing process are all stored in the computer, which can ensure the reproducibility of the printing. In the traditional rotary screen printing production, the preservation of archives is a headache. The storage of flower drafts, rotary screens, and flat screens takes up a lot of space, which wastes manpower and material resources, and the preservation effect is not very good. 3. Digital inkjet printing is a green and environmentally friendly production method. The printing process does not require water or color paste. Dyes are used on demand, and there is no waste dye liquid and color paste discharge, so there is very little pollution. Traditional printing requires a lot of water, and the waste liquid, waste water, and waste pulp generated cause great pollution to the environment. 4. All fastness indicators of digital inkjet printing can meet international standards (active, acidic, and disperse printing, which fully meet the export standards of Europe and the United States), meeting the requirements of many foreign trade merchants. 5. Digital inkjet printing can receive orders through the Internet. The whole process is controlled by a computer. The pattern is stored in the computer in digital form to ensure the consistency of the printed color and the process is highly automated. 6. In the traditional printing process, the flower pattern designed by the designer must be designed according to the characteristics of the printing equipment. This limits the designer's play to a certain extent. The concept of flower return can be absent in the process of digital inkjet printing, so that the designer's design ideas can be fully exerted, expanding the space for textile pattern design and laying the foundation for designers to design more beautiful patterns. The color registration limit of traditional textile printing and dyeing patterns makes it difficult to print more than lo color registration. Digital inkjet printing technology uses digital patterns, which are measured and matched by computers. The colors are rich and can show up to 16 million colors. Especially in the printing of high-precision patterns such as color gradients and moires, digital printing has incomparable advantages in technology, thus truly realizing the design of any color. The current application areas of digital inkjet printing can be summarized as follows: fashion clothing, clothing accessories (such as silk scarves, scarves, ties, etc.): sportswear and swimwear fabrics; home textile fabrics (such as curtains, sheets, towels, tablecloths and furniture fabrics); automotive interior decorations: flags and banners: proofing before plate making or mass printing; T-shirts and special textiles; wall decorations; umbrellas, bags, shoes and hats, toys, ribbons, etc.; all other items that use textiles as carriers and patterns to express them.

What should I do if the inkjet printer nozzle is clogged?
1. Basic structure of the nozzle: Integrated nozzle and ink cartridge: This structure replaces the nozzle and ink cartridge together after the ink in the ink cartridge is used up. The advantage of this structure is tight integration and high reliability. The disadvantage is high cost Separate nozzle and ink cartridge: When the ink is used up, the ink cartridge can be replaced separately. This relatively solves the cost problem of the first type, and the replacement cost is relatively low Most of the commonly used printers on the market currently use a dual nozzle structure: a black nozzle and a color nozzle. In the ink cartridge, most of them are independent black ink, and the other three-color ink cartridges are integrated. There are also some products where each color ink cartridge is independent and can be replaced separately, which further reduces the printing cost. 2. Why does the nozzle get blocked? Because the printer nozzle is not sealed tightly after normal printing or is left for a long time, the water evaporates excessively, causing the ink droplets to dry on the fine nozzles, making the ink unable to spray normally; usually manifested as frequent disconnection, color loss, blurred handwriting and other faults The nozzle of the inkjet printer is blocked and can be roughly divided into two categories of cleaning: ① Software cleaning ② Manual cleaning Software cleaning repair method: Software cleaning is to use the print head cleaning function in the application tool of the printer driver to clean. Its advantages are simple and fast operation; the disadvantage is that the cleaning effect is not ideal Precautions: ① Because there will be "air blockage" between the ink cartridge (such as sponge filling type) and the print head, a small amount of irregular disconnection will occur. At this time, there is no need to clean it repeatedly. After leaving it for a period of time, restart the machine and it can be used normally ② Avoid mixing inks. Do not rush to add newly purchased ink to the ink cartridge. First, use a clean disposable syringe to suck some ink and observe carefully in a bright place to see if there are any suspended matter in the ink. If there are suspended matter, do not mix them. Then suck a little ink from the used ink cartridge and mix it with the newly purchased ink. After standing for 24 hours, observe again to see if the mixed ink has any chemical reaction. If there is a change (such as crystallization, etc.), it means that the compatibility of the two inks is not good. Do not mix them. ③ The cleaning method should generally not exceed three times. If the printer is not seriously blocked, it should be flushed within three times. If it still cannot be flushed after three times, it means that the blockage is serious. No matter how many times you clean it, it may not work, and it is useless to waste a lot of expensive ink. At this time, further treatment should be carried out according to the specific situation. Manual cleaning and repair method: 1. Soaking method Scope of application: The blockage is relatively light Required tools: 95% alcohol, a clean cup and a metal container with a smooth bottom Working principle: Use a medium-strength organic solvent to dissolve the ink particles one by one. Note that you must use 95% organic solvent alcohol, otherwise it will be counterproductive Solution: First find a metal container with a smooth bottom, add a little 95% organic solvent alcohol to the container, and the alcohol should just cover the stainless steel edge of the print head (be careful not to let the PCB board contact the alcohol) The soaking time generally ranges from 2 hours to 4 days. Its advantages are good cleaning effect and not easy to cause physical damage to the print head; its disadvantages are that it takes a long time and it is difficult to solve the urgent needs of users. 2. Pressure cleaning method Scope of application: The obstruction is serious Required tools: 95% alcohol, a clean cup, a disposable injector, a disposable infusion set Working principle: Use the pressure generated by the siphon effect of the syringe to inject alcohol, an organic solvent, into the print head, so as to achieve the effect of cleaning the dried nozzle Solution method: Use the plastic tube or needle part of a disposable infusion set to make the interface between the syringe and the ink supply port of the print head (the joint must be tight). After the interface is made, place the head of the print head in 95% organic solvent alcohol, and inhale the alcohol (note that it can only be inhaled) into the syringe needle through the print head. Inhale several times Its advantage is good cleaning effect. Generally, print heads with heavy obstruction can be cleaned by this method. It is worth noting that when inhaling alcohol, the force should be even and coherent, and generally no physical damage will be caused.

Introduction to the differences between dye-sublimation and thermal transfer printers
Dye-sublimation and heat transfer are two common printer technologies that both use heat energy to transfer images from one medium to another, but they have some differences in principles, materials, applications, and advantages. 1. Heat transfer printing is a technology that transfers patterns or text from special heat transfer paper or film to the surface of the printed object. It requires heating and pressure to make the dye or curing agent on the heat transfer paper or film combined with the printed matter. The advantages of heat transfer printing are that it can print a variety of complex colors at one time, with realistic patterns, bright colors, long-lasting wear resistance, simple operation, low production cost, small product loss, high added value, and strong decorative process. 2. The disadvantages of heat transfer printing are that the printed pattern is convex and not smooth enough, and there are certain restrictions on the material of the printed object. It cannot be printed on natural fibers such as cotton and linen. The application scope of heat transfer printing is mainly advertising posters, handbags, luggage, webbing, cloth pads, daily packaging supplies, etc. 3. Dye-sublimation is a technology that directly penetrates the image from the dye-sublimation paper to the surface of the printed object. It requires heating to make the dye on the dye-sublimation paper directly sublimate from solid state to gaseous state, and then penetrate into the surface of the printed object in fiber. The advantages of sublimation are that the printed patterns are smooth, non-convex, have strong adhesion, are not easy to fade, are vivid in color, have distinct layers, can reflect subtle changes in details and colors, and have photo-like realism and long-lasting color. 4. The disadvantage of dye-sublimation is that special dye-sublimation ink and sublimation paper need to be used during the printing process, which is expensive and can only be printed on polyester and other chemical fiber fabrics, not natural fibers. The application scope of sublimation is mainly stationery, leather, clothing, etc. In short, sublimation and heat transfer are two different printer technologies. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different occasions and needs. When users choose a printer, they should choose the appropriate printer technology based on their actual situation and comprehensive consideration of various factors.

Precautions for using digital printing machine
1. Make sure the printer has a stable working platform and do not place anything on the top of the printer. 2. The front cover of the printer must be closed when printing to prevent dust from entering the machine or other hard objects impeding the movement of the printer carriage. 3. It is forbidden to plug or unplug the printer cable while the power is on. This will damage the printer's print port and the PC's parallel port. In severe cases, it may even damage the PC's motherboard. 4. If the printout is not clear, you can use the printer's automatic cleaning function to clean the nozzle. 5. When the print head is restarted without returning to the initial position, the printer will first return the print head to the initial position, and then clean the nozzle, which will cause unnecessary waste of ink. The way to solve this problem is to often Wipe off the dust on the guide shaft and lubricate the guide shaft. Use lubricating oil with good fluidity, such as sewing machine oil, to ensure the cleanliness of the surrounding environment.

Introduction to digital printing machine
Digital printing machines are an industry of large-format printers, and their ink characteristics are water-based dispersed inks. It is printed on transfer paper and then transferred to cloth (man-made chemical fiber cloth) through high temperature. Mainly used in printing and dyeing of clothing fabrics.Digital printers can help you reduce costs, reduce labor, and improve efficiency. They provide full-color imaging at one time, accurate positioning, and zero scrap rate. Digital printers are environmentally friendly products and can be exported. The digital printer prints color images on sublimation paper without direct contact with the object to ensure the integrity of the printed object. It prints and dyes through ink jetting without deformation due to heat and pressure. It uses the direct output of the computer to print. This way, there is no need to do any preparatory printing work in the early stage. Digital printer printing is convenient and fast. There are only four printing steps: (1) Coating the printing part → (2) Printing → (3) Natural drying (or drying) → (4) Complete, the operation is extremely simple
