Replacing method of absorber kit

If ink adheres to the absorber, it is required to replace the absorber.

Rough guide for replacement:

Replace when the concavity and convexity of the surface of the absorber are filled with ink as indicated in the right photo.

In addition, when you replace the absorber, clean ink adhering to the capping station at the same time.

• To replace the absorber, the absorber kit separately sold is required. Contact a distributor in your district or our office for purchasing it.
