    Why is the flash not working on my Sakura Printer?
    • M
      monicachurchAug 23, 2025
      If the flash does not occur at all or is too short on your Sakura Printer, the curing lamp may be dirty or defective. Check whether a flash takes place by observing the stray light coming from under the cover. Never open the cover to check whether the flash takes place! If there is no flash, install a new curing lamp.

      If the ink print head is too hot on your Sakura Printer, which could be due to a high ambient temperature or defective electronics, switch the instrument to the off position and let it cool. The instrument will remain disabled until the print head cools to a regular temperature. Also, check that the ambient temperature is within normal ranges.
