Here is a step by step guide for proper cleaning procedure on your Handjet EBS-260 Printer.

Clean the nozzle faceplate

  • As needed, use the washup fluid in the atomizer bottle to clean the printer face, and guide
    rollers to remove the remnants of ink and dirt after usage.

Acetone Based Ink – Black MEK or Black Acetone

  • Daily: The nozzle plate face should be sprayed with washup fluid (until all ink and debris are
    removed. Use a foam-tipped swab or lint free cloth to help with removal.
  • Every two days: Purge the unit of ink with cleaning fluid
