MACK DADDY Ink Supply Tube Flush Kit

DTG Tube Flush Kit, "Mack Daddy"

InkJetPrintables® series of professional cleaning and maintenance kits for DTG and Brother® GT-541 & GT-782 direct to garment printers.  This kit may also be used for flushing or clearing clogs in the drain lines under the rubber parking Caps. (But the Drain Flush Kit is much better)

Suggested Use:   This is the "Mack Daddy" of all kits.  It's got a little bit of everything in it.  Plenty of stuff to do field recovery of failing printheads, ink supply tube flushes, drain rinsing and whatever else you can think of.   This  should be in every technician’s bag of tricks!  Don’t leave home without it! 

Use this kit for flushing ALL ink supply and drain tube(s). Ink supply tubes and the ink cartridge supply needle will form coagulated ink caused by age, air intrusion or climactic extremes.  Ink supply tubes should be flushed every time a printhead is recovered or replaced if a new ink supply tube is not installed.

WARNING:  Print head nozzles are very delicate and sensitive, if any substance other than a specifically formulated solvent is used to clean them, damage to the nozzles and print head is likely to occur.  Many operators are misinformed that they can use 'Simple Green" to clean sensitive and delicate inkjet printheads.  "Simple Green" is intended for janitorial and general cleaning purposes and is NOT FILTERED and may contain particulate that will damage or permanently clog printhead nozzles.  We recommend to USE ONLY our *Triple Filtered* Inkjet Cleaning Solution "Juice".  It is specialy formulated by us and triple-filtered to guarantee NO FOREIGN specs or contaminates that can damage printheads.
