TexJet shortee2: Long inactivity maintenance guide

Updated on Oct 27, 2025

Long inactivity maintenance is recommended for printers that will stay idle for more than a month and will be put in storage. In this maintenance procedure, the ink flow route must be cleaned. For this reason, the ink system and the printhead channels must be flushed with cleaning solution.

Cleaner Charge 

The Cleaner Charge process is used for advanced maintenance purposes, such as in case of long-time idleness or transportation. By means of equipment is the same as the Ink Charge process, but instead of ink, the cartridges are loaded with cleaner solution. This way, a very powerful printhead cleaning is performed and the system is drained from ink. The Cleaner Charge is executed via the Digital Factory Apparel v10 Polyprint Edition RIP software.
