Problems solved by technology

But its disadvantages are also obvious: because it relies on heating the ink to work, the life of the heating body in the nozzle of the thermal bubble inkjet printer is limited relative to the life of the nozzle of the piezoelectric inkjet printer, and the consumption cost of the nozzle is relatively high. The customer is a big expense, and the discarded nozzles also pollute the environment. Therefore, cleaning the nozzles of thermal bubble inkjet printers and prolonging the service life of the nozzles can not only reduce the cost of customers, but also have obvious economic benefits. Reducing waste has obvious environmental and social benefits

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and special cleaning solutions for cleaning a thermal-bubble ink-jet printer jet head. The method comprises the following steps: (1) cleaning the jet head by using a first cleaning solution under the cleaning pressure of minus 0.05 MPa until the eluate from the jet head is colorless; (2) cleaning the jet head by using 250-350 ml of a second cleaning solution under the cleaning pressure of minus 0.05 MPa; (3) cleaning the jet head by using 250-350 ml of the first cleaning solution under the cleaning pressure of minus 0.05 MPa; (4) cleaning the jet head by using 250-350 ml of a third cleaning solution under the cleaning pressure of minus 0.05 MPa; and (5) filling the third cleaning solution into the ink box of the ink-jet printer, and after installing the jet head which is cleaned by the third cleaning solution on the printer, printing the color area with the corresponding color. The experimental result indicates that the three cleaning solutions and the cleaning method have the advantage of obvious improvement action on the jet head, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of the thermal-bubble ink-jet printer jet head and lowering the printing cost for per unit printing area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for cleaning the spray head of a thermal bubble type inkjet printer and a special cleaning liquid used therein. Background technique [0002] Because of its low cost, excellent output quality, low noise, environmental protection, and reliable operation, inkjet printing has become a very competitive computer output method, while thermal bubble jet printers use rapid heating of ink to form bubbles to eject liquid Compared with another mainstream working method—piezoelectric inkjet printer, the drop mode has the advantages of fast output speed and excellent output quality. But its disadvantages are also obvious: because it relies on heating the ink to work, the life of the heating body in the nozzle of the thermal bubble inkjet printer is limited relative to the life of the nozzle of the piezoelectric inkjet printer, and the consumption cost of the nozzle is relatively high. The customer is a big expense, and the discard...
