5.1.6 Cleaning the printing surface
The printing surface is very delicate. It is made out of cellular material. Oil and moisture from
fingers damages the surface. Therefore great care should be taken when the printing
surface is uncovered. DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE.
In rare cases it might be necessary to clean the printing surface. It is not recommended to
do this but sometimes it is the only safe way to remove dirt.
To clean the printing surface, proceed as follows:
1. Power off the DC5(sx) and remove the vinyl.
2. Cut a piece of vinyl, the size of the printing surface width is 14cm, length is machine
dependent) and stick it onto the printing surface.
3. Power on the DC5(sx) and load the media. Print out a rectangle full width and height,
consisting out of two colors app 20% coverage.
4. Remove the media from the DC5(sx) and turn off the power.
5. Carefully remove the vinyl from the printing surface.
This test has been done with 3M cast white vinyl. Do not attempt to use any other vinyl to
clean the printing surface. The reaction of the adhesive on the printing surface might
damage it. Do not leave the vinyl on the printing surface longer than necessary for this test.
