| CLEANING CARTRIDGES AND FLUIDS FOR INKJET PRINTERS |
Lyson cleaning cartridges contain a powerful cleaning fluid that is specially formulated to flush
out inkjet inks and dissolve dried ink deposits. Designed to clean both aqueous pigment and
dye based inks, cleaning cartridges are used in a printer just like a normal cartridge. Cleaning
cartridges can be used for two purposes. Firstly, they are an invaluable routine maintenance
aid and regular use will ensure that a printer is kept in top working order by cleaning dried ink
deposits from the print head, capping station and wiper blade. Secondly, they should always be
used when changing ink types on a printer, even if the two ink sets can be mixed with each
other. The reason for this is that mixing two types of ink in a printer will effect color accuracy
and can cause color shifts over a long period of time as one ink is slowly purging out the other.
Using cleaning cartridges in between the two ink types will ensure that the new ink is not
effected by the previous ink. It is absolutely essential that cleaning cartridges are used when
changing from dye inks to pigment inks, or visa versa, as dyes and pigments don't generally mix
together well and can create gel which will block a machine's print heads. There are two
methods for using cleaning cartridges dependent on printer type. For desk top printers, prints
are produced onto scrap paper until the printed output goes clear indicating that all ink has
been cleaned from the machines ink system. For wide format printer models, the machines built
in 'initial fill' routine or power cleaning function can be used to purge the cleaning fluid through
out the ink system.
The versions of Lyson cleaning cartridges for desk top printers are generally intended for
single use only as the cleaning fluid can quite quickly evaporate once a cartridge has been
removed from a printer. An alternative for users who want to clean multiple printers or intend to
regularly clean their printers is to purchase a set of our refillable cartridges and the cleaning
fluid in bulk bottles, as listed below. Refillable cartridges can be sealed after use and can be
refilled multiple times. Also, single use cleaning cartridges are not available for some printer
models and refillable cartridges are a good alternative for these machines.
The wide format versions of cleaning cartridges are self sealing after use and can be used
around 3 - 4 times for cleaning out a printer.
As mentioned above, The cleaning fluid contained in cleaning cartridges, called Lyson Dead
Head fluid, can be purchased in bulk 500 ml or 1 liter bottles for use in refillable cartridges or
for cleaning out bulk ink feed devices. A 500 ml bottle contains enough fluid to refill a desk top
refillable cartridge around 33 times. A one liter bottle is usually adequate to thoroughly clean
out a wide format printer model fitted with a bulk ink feed device.
