1: Technical Notes on White Ink Maintenance
Virtually all white inks used in digital apparel printers today use Titanium Dioxide for pigment. This
pigment is a relatively heavy material. For direct to garment printers using Titanium Dioxide based White
Inks, the following three conditions have to be met to ensure proper ink flow continues in the inkjet
printer system:
The inks must be agitated daily. This involves gentle shaking of the cartridges.
The inks must flow through the ink delivery system frequently. This involves daily printing with white ink
or daily Nozzle Checks followed by Print Head Cleans when Nozzle Checks are below 90%
The inks must not touch open air; otherwise the Titanium Dioxide based ink will agglomerate and clog
the ink delivery system and Print Head. RICOH Ri 3000/Ri 6000 printers use sealed ink cartridges protect
inks. Open ink bottles or refillable bulk ink cartridges will expose the ink to open air causing
agglomeration.
