1. Always leave your printer on to allow the machine’s automated

maintenance sequences to run. This is necessary to keep the printer

in optimal condition and avoid potential damage that can be

prevented easily. If it is necessary to power down the machine for

over 12 hours, be sure to fill your printer with cleaning fluid (Section

8.3 User Manual).

2. Always shake new white ink cartridges thoroughly before

installing them in your printer. Adequately shaking your new white

ink cartridges helps ensure that your prints will come out bright and

vibrant (Page 18 User Manual).

3. Perform a nozzle check daily, so you can spot and quickly address

potential issues with the printer.

4. Make sure your ink is at 5% or above when you are done printing

for the day or plan on leaving your printer idle for a few hours. While

you can continue to print using cartridges with less than 5%

remaining, the machine’s vital automated maintenance sequences

require at least 5% or above in order to complete. If you do not have

replacement ink available, you can fill your printer with cleaning fluid.

Refer to Section 8.3 of your User Manual.

5. Clean encoder strip weekly or every 30 prints to help avoid blurry

prints, double prints, and error codes. Refer to Section 8.2 of your

User Manual or watch the Ri 1000 Weekly Maintenance Video.

6. Make sure the obstacle sensor is on. If the sensor is off, head

strikes may occur and cause damage to the carriage. To check if your

obstacle sensor is enabled, navigate to the OPTIONS panel. The

sensor is on when the blue light is illuminated on the OBSTACLE

SENSOR button.

7. Set the table height correctly —just below the obstruction sensor.

If the table is too low, the extra space may cause misting and printer

damage. If the garment is dressed on the platen, the number on the

table height adjuster should be between 0-2. If not dressing the

garment, the number value should be no more than 4. Refer to

Section 2.2 of your User Manual.

8. Check the downloads page to ensure you are on the most up to

date firmware.

9. Exercise with care when adjusting table height or changing

platens. While ruggedly constructed, the RICOH Ri 1000 is a

precision tool and care should be taken when adjusting the machine.

Do NOT over-tighten the table-height-adjustment knob past “0” and

carefully install platen without banging it against the print table.

RICOH is proud of its commitment to the environment. We use

only safe, water-based inks and treatments. SDS’s are available

on RICOH’s website.

RICOH Authorized Inks

9Version: [###] Classification: Internal Owner: [Insert name]05/11/2020

All white ink has titanium dioxide.

Over time, if white ink is left

sitting, the titanium dioxide will

separate from the water, causing the

ink to settle or separate apart.

It's vitally important to remove your

white ink cartridges daily and shake

them around. This will mix any

separation that might have

happened overnight. The printer will

prompt you to gently agitate the

white ink cartridges every 12 hours.

If white ink is kept in stock, rotate

cartridges 2-3 times a week.

White ink has a shelf life of 6

months. CMYK shelf life 1 year.

Each cartridge has a label for its

specific channel.

White Ink

Nozzles clog and stop

firing. This causes

undesirable banding

in your print.

Air can enter the

tubes. Air in the

tubes will start to

dry the ink and

risk clogging the

head.

Permanent damage to print head.If a cartridge

is left empty for too long in the printer, you

risk clogging the head permanently and

requiring a costly replacement.

What happens when you don’t change an empty

cartridge?
