The most common issue that DTG users face are clogged printheads. Printheads can clog due to non-use (the ink will dry and clog the heads), or due to misuse of the DTG printer itself (such as not following proper cleaning / maintenance procedures, using the wrong inks, operating the printer in unfavorable temperature or humidity environments). We suggest a number of procedures that can work to resolve most print-head clogs, including (and in order of fastest, to the strongest clean):

1. Using the printer's basic cleaning function (from the printer menu) - preferably with our cleaning cartridges installed
2. Using the Epson Adjustment Program (extra software that we provide to our DTG customers) that is capable of doing a more aggressive / deep clean than the printer's basic cleaning function - preferably with our cleaning cartridges installed
3. Printing to paper with our cleaning cartridges
4. Performing a manual FLUSH with our DTG Printer Flush System (this resolves over 95% of clogs)

If you have a severe clog that you are unable to resolve via the above methods, your last resort would be to replace the printhead or have it professinally cleaned/refurbished. New printheads typically cost around $300 for an Epson L1800 printhead and around $500 for an Epson P600 printhead).
