The printer uses liquid ink, which can form a mist inside the printer. The mist
settles on the printer components and, after a while, depending on the
amount of use the printer has, ink deposits form inside the printer. To avoid
potential problems you can order a kit with all the parts you need to clean
the printer. The kit contains:
● Lens covers kit (also provided with the printer; see printer
components)
● Carriage interconnect wiper kit
● Slider rods lubrication kit
● Roller lubrication kit
● Platen cleaning instructions
