Default Using Windex To Clean DTG
Hi to all.
I spoke with the repair tech today at SWFEast (Anthony - what a great guy) Anyway we were discussing the use of Windex on the machines print head station. They are now suggesting that we use only distilled water to clean the capping station because Windex has changed it's formula and it now has wax in it.
Just wanted to get this info out for all who may not be aware.
Happy Printing To All!!!
Janet

Print head station meaning Capping Station?

Just put a little windex (NOW) distilled water on it and then run a head cleaning? I assume that acts as a "flush" ?

I have been using windex wipes/bottle for the last year and a half. It has been working fine for me just a couple of sprays a night and good to go in the morning.
