Australian-made capping solution for routine DTG & DTF printhead maintenance.
Wet capping is a routine printer maintenance process used to keep the printhead resting cap moist during idle periods. It helps reduce drying around the capping station and supports reliable DTG and DTF printer operation.
Wet capping is generally used at the end of production, during short idle periods, or whenever a printer will not be used for several hours. It is intended as a maintenance step to help keep the capping station wet and ready for the next print session.
The printhead resting area can dry out when a printer is idle, especially in DTG and DTF systems using pigment-based inks. Keeping the capping station moist helps reduce dried ink build-up, supports smoother startup, and assists with routine printhead care.
No. Wet capping is not a deep cleaning or unclogging process. It is used for short-term maintenance and keeping the capping station moist. For blocked nozzles, ink line flushing, or heavy build-up, a dedicated cleaning or flushing process may be required.
