This is the moisturizing liquid that keeps a parked DTF printhead from drying out. When the printer caps the head, the capping station is supposed to hold a wet seal around the nozzles. If the cap sponge dries, air reaches the nozzle plate, the ink in the nozzles thickens, and the next nozzle check shows gaps. A few milliliters of this liquid on the cap sponge keeps that seal wet overnight and over a weekend.
It is especially useful on printers that sit idle for hours between jobs, and on white ink, which dries faster than the colors. Shops that leave the printer for days use it alongside a daily circulation or nozzle check to keep the head alive without a full flush.
It is not a cleaner. If a channel is already blocked, use the nozzle wash to clear it first, then use this liquid to stop it happening again. Apply it with a lint-free swab or a syringe directly onto the cap sponge, never onto the nozzle plate itself.
Sold in a 100 ml bottle, which lasts a single printer for months at a few milliliters a day, and a 1 L bottle for multi-printer shops. Ships from our Kansas warehouse within 24 hours on business days.
