Notes
It is confirmed by the test that the result is no problem under the recommended
condition above, if leaved to stand within 7 hours without Tickling and Capping.
(Not confirmed the printing quality in the case of the standing time that
is more than 7 hours.)
On the other, please be aware that the result will be also depending on the test
condition, too, such as temperature, humidity and so on.
(The details of our test condition is described on Page 4.)
Even during the standing time, it is important to avoid to make ink on surface of nozzle
plate dry. It is recommended to always keep the surface wet as much as possible by
capping the printhead or other alternative ways.
If not gained good printing quality under the recommended condition above on your
test, Additional purging and wiping would work to improve it.
