Troubleshooting and repair

We start with your printer model, symptoms, error codes, and a nozzle check, then decide whether the problem can be handled remotely or needs an on-site visit. Repairs can include:

  • Printhead cleaning or replacement

  • Ink line, damper, and pump service

  • Capping and wiper station rebuilds

  • Sensor and board diagnostics

Parts are quoted after evaluation and depend on availability for your model.

 

Preventive maintenance

White ink needs regular attention. Scheduled maintenance covers:

  • Cleaning routines

  • Capping and wiper replacement

  • Ink system checks

  • Operator training for daily care between visits
