| Re: what ink can i use for wood printing Hi
Thank you for the reply I will be looking for videos on how to use etc as I want to use more as a small home business rather than a commercial business for now and obviously don't want to buy something unsuitable or not what I need .I do have a heat press and had thought about laser transfer paper to then heat press on to the wood etc but was thinking in the long run the dtg printer may be best .Maybe I need to start with transfer paper then progress to machine when I have tested the market and had time to read up on the dtg printers  | Quote: |  | | |  |

Again, this is a suggestion based in my experience with industrial DTG printers:
Whenever you will change the type of the ink in a printer, you must flush the machine. And preferably, use one set of printheads for each type of ink. You can keep the other set with cleaner fluid inside. Consult with your printer manufacturer about storage conditions and maximum idle time, before doing anything.
When that is not possible, you have to flush the printheads. The idea is not the mix the inks in the system or in the printheads.
But again, check with the printer manufacturer for instructions on how to do these procedures. DTG printers manufacturers differ largely on their maintenance methods. | |  | |  | | |
