Why is the print quality poor on my Squid Ink CoPilot 500 Printer?
Poor print quality on your Squid Ink Printer can stem from several issues: * Clogged Ink Nozzles: Clean the Nozzle Face. * Dried Ink or Impurities: Flush the Printhead. * Air Bubbles: Purge the Printhead of air bubbles.
What to do if the Squid Ink CoPilot 500 controller display goes black?
If your Squid Ink Printer's controller display goes black, with just a sentence of text, it could be due to system power corruption. Install a Line Conditioner (Part Number 2004199) to ensure a clean electrical supply. Alternatively, high static discharge may be the cause. In this case, add a 0.25" (or wider) Ground Braid (Part Number 2005024) between the Controller and earth ground. A substitute Carbon Fiber Brush (Part Number 2006400) is also available to reduce substrate static electricity build-up.
How to fix unresponsive touchscreen on Squid Ink CoPilot 500 Printer?
If the touchscreen buttons on your Squid Ink Printer are unresponsive, it's likely that the touchscreen needs recalibration. Recalibrate the Touchscreen.
Why does my Squid Ink Printer's print quality distort or the system lock up?
If your Squid Ink Printer experiences occasional print quality distortion or system lock-ups, it may be due to line noise, brownouts, or blackouts affecting the AC power supply. Install a good-quality AC power Line Conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (Part Number 2004199) to ensure a clean electrical supply.
