Ink Bomb

The printer pump is a key component in inkjet printers, especially in wide format, DTF, sublimation and eco-solvent models. Its main function is to generate suction to clean the print head and maintain proper ink flow.

Pump functions in a printer:

• Head cleaning: Removes dried ink or residue accumulated in the injectors.
• Maintaining ink flow: Prevents blockages in the printing system.
• Air Evacuation: Helps to remove air bubbles in the ink passages.
• Suction System Support: Works together with capping to clean and seal the head when the printer is not in use.

Pumps vary in design and capacity depending on the type of printer and ink system used. Proper maintenance is essential to prevent print failures and prolong printhead life.
