Working with multiple Ink Systems
IMPORTANT To get the best images from your HP DesignJet CP Ink System UV always follow
these important rules:
n Change all three components for each ink color set together. The printhead,
printhead cleaner, and ink cartridge should all be new every time you replace a
color unless they have been previously used together and stored in the HP
DesignJet CP Ink System Storage Container.
n Make sure all four ink colors that you are using are the same type of HP Ink
System. Never mix UV Pigmented ink and Imaging ink Systems.
n If you have installed mixed ink components in the printer, the front panel will
display the following message; “Replace mixed printhead(s)
nn X n“. You will
not be able to use the printer until the mixed ink components have been replaced.
See page 11-31, Solving Ink System Problems for more information.
n Install all three components of the ink system by the date on the box.
CAUTION If you are removing an ink color from the printer and intend to use it later,
always keep the three components together as a set.
Handle Ink Systems with Care
Handle the ink system with care. In particular, the printhead is a high precision
device and needs proper handling.
n Do not touch the printhead nozzles.
n Do not be rough when handling the printheads. Always set them down gently.
n Do not drop the printheads.
n Proper handling will assure optimum performance throughout the printhead life.
n For the printhead cleaner, always handle and store upright to avoid potential
leaking of the ink.
