In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, downtime is costly — especially when it’s caused by issues with your coding or marking printers. At DOVILTECH, we’ve seen it all. Here are the five most common problems with coding printers and how you can address them:

1. Ink Leakage or Blockage: This usually occurs due to poor cleaning or expired ink. Regular flushing and using quality ink can help prevent this.

2. Poor Print Quality: Often caused by misalignment, nozzle clogging, or low-quality parts. Routine maintenance and proper calibration fix this.

3. Frequent Error Messages: These can stem from sensor malfunctions or software glitches. A quick diagnostic check can pinpoint the exact cause.

4. Machine Not Starting: Power supply issues or worn-out components are usually to blame. Always check connections and keep spare parts on hand.

5. Ink Not Drying Properly: This may be due to incorrect ink type or temperature settings. Use ink suited for your material and adjust drying time accordingly.
