Questions and Answers:

Why is my Gerber Technology Plotter printing blank pages?
- P
  Philip FieldsJul 26, 2025
  If your Gerber Technology Plotter appears to be printing, but the media is blank, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if the tape covering the nozzles of the ink jet cartridge (Infinity 45) or the Infinity 85 print head cartridge was not removed. In this case, temporarily remove the ink jet or print head cartridge and remove/discard the tape. Another possible cause is that the Infinity 45 ink jet cartridge or Infinity 85 bulk ink cartridge is out of ink. To solve this, install a new ink jet or bulk ink cartridge.

What to do if print is faded on Gerber Technology Plotter?

  Marilyn DavisAug 8, 2025
  If the print from your Gerber Technology Plotter is faded, it could be due to a few reasons. The Infinity 45 ink jet cartridge or Infinity 85 print head cartridge might be low on ink. In this case, install a new ink jet cartridge or a new bulk ink cartridge. Additionally, the Infinity 45 ink jet cartridge or Infinity 85 print head cartridge could be clogged. Try removing the ink jet cartridge or print head cartridge and cleaning it with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with de-ionized water.
