1. Ink drip
It is obvious that multiple color areas may appear in image output of DIY A3 DTF printer. Color zone may only appear one or more times in image. If it appears multiple times, these color areas may be consistent or inconsistent with color area between about 1 to 5 inches. This is because preheat setting value is set too high, which causes ink to boil in nozzle plate of ink cartridge. Boiling of ink will cause air bubbles to be formed in DTF ink, which will eventually remove most of ink. As more bubbles replace ink, ink is replaced by bubbles, causing ink to drip. Once nozzle plate has cooled down slightly, ink can enter nozzle plate and continue printing until nozzle plate overheats again.
