Everyone knows that the inkjet printer is blocked and needs to be cleaned, but at this time, we find that the cleaning agent is out. What are you going to do?

Some customers bought alternative rosin water, acetone, etc., and temporarily used them as cleaning agents for inkjet printers. So can these be used as cleaning agents for inkjet printers? For example, rosin water is an organic solvent prepared by styrene, xylene, and trimethylbenzene, and is usually used to dilute paints.

The cleaning agent for inkjet printers is one of the commonly used consumables for small-character inkjet printers and valve-type inkjet printers. The main component is butanone. Its main function is to dissolve the solidified ink at the nozzle when the nozzle solenoid valve is blocked and return the nozzle to a smooth working mode.

When the printer is cleaned, part of the cleaning agent will enter the ink system through the recovery tube and nozzle. The composition of this part will not affect the stability of the ink? Different models of inks and solvents for inkjet printers are developed with different formulas. Cleaning agents are also components of solvents. Compared with solvents, their raw materials are cheaper, but they have all been tested to ensure the operation of the inkjet printer.

However, the composition of rosin water and acetone is incompatible with the ink of the inkjet printer, which will cause serious consequences. If the ink is not dissolved properly, it will cause clogging of the nozzle and, in serious cases, the filter will be blocked. Therefore, it is recommended to use original consumables, which are certified by SGS in the EU to ensure the quality and safety of the consumables. Consumables that are too inferior are harmful to people and the environment. It is a great danger to the factory.
