Default INK decreases without printing

I am not printing from 3-4 days, i do nozzle check only. my INk are decreasing contantly. does that happen to allmost all printers? I also can see some wastage INK(in that bottle) without single headclean. Its less then half bottle(noticable decrease) & pretty low without printing single shirt.

Does Printer do Headcleaning or something automatically? I have HM1 with WIMS system.

Thanks,
NiL

Your machine does auto head cleans, that is where the wasted ink is coming from. Depending on how often it does them, will determine how much ink you are losing. I dont have the circulation system on mine, but I leave my machine on all day and let it do the head cleans, which are about every 3 hours., then I turn it off at night. The reps will advise you to leave it on 24 hours a day, but I do turn mine off about 8 hours a night.

Not sure if you have a setting where you can just schedule the ink cleans further apart and not so often with that system on there.
