Cleaning the Service Station

Maintenance interval: daily, and when switching between dye and pigment inks.

Cleaning the service station helps to prevent dried ink from clogging the ink jets. Keep a replacement set of boots and wipers on hand to replace damaged or worn boots and wipers. Order a replacement kit, ColorSpan part number 0900782, which includes twelve boots and twelve wipers.
