Troubleshooting Ink Adhesion On Cans With The Titan Inkjet Printer

This article provides potential solutions to smudging issues with the Titan inkjet printer while printing on cans.

Solutions for Malfunctioning Ink

If you are experiencing issues with ink smudging when printing on cans, consider the following solutions:

  1. Check the Ink Cartridge:

    • Ensure you are using the correct cartridge for your application. The ST-301 cartridge is recommended for printing on cans.

  2. Adjust Printer Settings:

    • Change the DPI (dots per inch) setting on your printer to either 200 or 150. Lowering the DPI can reduce the amount of ink used, which may help the print dry faster and minimize smudging.

  3. Drying Process:

    • Ensure that the area where you are printing is adequately dried before applying the ink. Blowing air to dry the surface is a good practice, but you may need to allow more time for drying depending on environmental conditions.

  4. Alternatives:

    • If smudging persists, consider sending an inquiry to support@sneedcoding.com about environmental factors that may be affecting your print or other options that may be better suited to your specific printing needs.
Conclusion

Addressing issues with smudging ink can often be resolved by ensuring the correct cartridge is used, adjusting printer settings, and allowing adequate drying time. If problems continue, exploring alternative options may provide a solution.
