| Cleaning an inkjet
head takes time. Your time is valuable. Don't spend it in front of a sink
with a syringe. Let the Jet Genie do it for you. It doesn't get
frustrated, it doesn't get bored, it doesn't care that it's Friday night
past 5 pm. It just does what it was created to do: Clean your inkjet head.
Consistently and efficiently. Due to very limited availability, Epson
print heads are now being sold at a premium.
The Jet Genie uses suction, acoustics, irrigation and filtration to clean the print head. It alternates between different combinations of methods to break up the ink clogs and evacuate them from the nozzles. There are no metal parts on the outside of the unit, minimizing the risk that you'll accidentally bump the print head against something harder than its surface and cause damage. The system is modular so that it can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Microprocessor-controlled for versatility and ease of use.

Print
head cleaning in the printer can also get pretty expensive. If you have a
stubborn clog on the Cyan and Yellow (for example), do you really want to
do 3 or more power-cleanings on your printer and waste all that ink? Put
the head in the Jet Genie and let it do it for you without wasting so much
$$
Some companies have a back-up (or several) print head(s) which they switch out. You can swap print heads, put the dirty one in the Jet Genie, set it and walk away. Those of you who do direct-to-garment printing with white ink: Ever had a head-strike and got pre-treat on the head? That's usually cause for an immediate head removal and cleaning. This unit will ease the pain. If the head "can" be salvaged, this unit will salvage it.... at a tremendous savings in time.
*Please Note. This unit will not repair dead print heads or print heads that are clogged beyond repair. |

Gentle but effective cleaning Print heads are expensive so the less you torture them, the better. The head is suspended in the cleaning fluid by a flotation device. This ensures that the print head is constantly soaked in cleaner but never beyond the safe level. You can see the head in this photo hovering over acoustic and irrigation cleaning systems.

Irrigation & Filtering The system irrigates the print-head surface at an angle as to send the particles into the pump intake. The semi-circle fluid path will take the cleaning fluid through very fine filter material to remove particles.

Acoustic vibration The proprietary acoustic sounder was purpose built for the Jet Genie. It is not a modified jewelry cleaner or some other type of device. Others have experimented with ultrasound devices and jewelry cleaners without much success. They are either ineffective or damage the print head or both. The problem with those types of cleaners is that they are designed to clean 3-dimensional objects completely submerged in liquid. The Jet Genie's acoustic sounder is designed to send the vibrations straight up the ink nozzles where they can be effective.

Suction The Jet Genie does not try to "push" the clogs out of the head through the small nozzle openings, it backs them out through the feed opening which is bigger. The suction is provided by a high-quality peristaltic pump. It can provide suction to 8 channels simultaneously. If the head being cleaned has less channels, or you wish to clean only certain channels, any of the suction lines can be "parked" (capped off) so that no total suction is lost. This photo shows all suction lines being used on an Epson R1800 print head.
