      If there's air in the printhead nozzle area of your Rena Printer, try these solutions: * Press the 'Full Clean Printhead' button in the Toolbox on the User Interface screen and lightly tap on the ink tubes and Printhead Cartridge as the system circulates ink. * Deprime and reprime the system. Release the printhead using the “Release Printhead” button, remove and reinstall the Printhead Cartridge, and then close the printhead latch to re-prime the system. * Instead of powering the printer off when not in use, leave the print engine powered up so it can perform automatic maintenance routines.

      Erin CarpenterAug 25, 2025
      If you're experiencing scuff marks and smudging issues with your Rena Printer, here's what you can do: * Ensure the 'Head Media Guide' is properly installed. * Experiment with removing or inserting the 'PPS Spacers'. * Make sure your media is as flat as possible with tight folds. * Manually wipe the printhead surface with a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water to remove excess ink. * Try rotating the media and image by 90, 270, or 180 degrees if possible. * Allow the printer to sit powered on for 2-3 hours to remove excess ink from the wiper roller. * Use a more suitable media that is flat and uniform in thickness. * Run the 'Quick Clean Printhead' routine once to see if it improves the issue.
