| CLEANING CARTRIDGES AND FLUIDS FOR INKJET PRINTERS |
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 if the two ink sets can not be mixed with each other.
This is particularly important when changing to inks that have a different color gamut than the
existing inks. 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 machine's ink system. For wide format printer models, the machine's
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 cleaning cartridges for desk top printers are refillable and so can be used many
times. They are supplied empty and the Dead Head cleaning fluid must be ordered separately
in the size required. For all desk top models, a 4 oz bottle of cleaner is adequate to fill a
complete set of cartridges. The cartridges come with auto reset chips fitted so they can be
refilled many times. Filling syringes and instructions are included.
The wide format versions of cleaning cartridges are self sealing after use and can be used 3 to
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 4 oz, 8 oz, 500 ml or 1 liter bottles for use in refillable
cartridges or for cleaning out bulk ink feed devices. A 4 oz bottle contains enough fluid to refill a
desk top refillable cartridge 9 times. A one liter bottle is usually adequate to thoroughly clean
out a wide format printer model fitted with a bulk ink feed device.
