5-5 The Replacement of the Head Cap
The Replacement Cycle for the Head Cap
When the head cap becomes worn away as shown in the gure below, it is time for replacement. Replace the
head cap with a new one appropriately.
The degree of wear may vary according to printing conditions. In particular, printing that makes extensive use
of island ll and other line-drawing operations on materials such as aluminum results in especially rapid wear
because of the extensive unevenness of the material surface. Periodically check the state of the head cap to
ensure that it is replaced as often as needed.
