Frequently Asked Questions
What does a maintenance cartridge do in a wide-format plotter?
A maintenance cartridge collects excess ink, solvents, and cleaning fluids expelled during plotter printhead cleaning cycles, preventing ink overflow and protecting internal components.
Why is regular maintenance cartridge replacement important for print quality?
A full maintenance cartridge can overflow, damaging the plotter's internal mechanisms and reducing print quality. Regular replacement ensures efficient printhead cleaning and optimal performance.
