I swear I fix one problem and another comes up. I fixed my white ink issue but now my capping station wont drain into the waste tube. It was working fine and then suddenly it wasnt. I tried using a syringe on the waste tube to suck the excess out but there was so much resistance. Its not sucking and I dont know why. Nothing will print now. Im getting really frustrated with this printer ![]()
I’m so sorry you are facing issues with your DTF printer.
Regarding your issue, have you tried performing a cleaning cycle to see if the ink is being pulled into the waste tank? If the capping station isn’t sealing tightly or the pump isn’t pulling ink, the print head won’t stay primed.
There is also some guides here LOKLiK iPrinter™ DTF-A3-XP600 Guide that could further assist your problem.
I figured it out, I switched the tubes on the pump motor. My fault. The ink is draining now BUT…now nothing will print. Im losing my mind
What happens when you try to send a project to print? Does the printer start printing but no ink comes. Or are you getting an error code when you try to print
It starts printing but no ink comes out. No error messages
Have you performed a head clean?
Also check if the ink lines are properly primed and free of air bubbles. Sometimes the printer won’t absorb ink if there’s trapped air.
Make sure the dampers are seated correctly and not clogged.
