I am using Dimatix 2850 to print nanoparticles ink, but there is an error message appears on the screen " PZT Error. Waveform Slew rate too fast? cycle the printer. If the problem persists, power down the printer and call Dimatix customer support"
what is the solution for this error?
It might be good to power down the printer and call Dimatix customer support
Hello dear,
It seems a technical glitches of your printer. Best to way to resolve it @Dimatix customer as suggested by Prof.Hugh J Byrne .
This error occurs "when the over-current protection on the PZT drive circuit is triggered to protect the main logic board of the printer from permanent damage" according to the Dimatix documentation.
If this is a hardware related error where "electrical shorts due to contamination with conducting fluid between electrical contacts in the head latch assembly or within the cartridge", you can resolve the error with "simply power off the printer and clean the contacts of the cartridge and head latch thoroughly; use a new cartridge and/or replace head latch if necessary".
If the error is not-hardware related then continue with setting the slew rate at most 1 and reducing the jetting voltage below 20 volts.
I hope this helps!
It happened with me too. It wasn't a leaky cartridge in my case, but I keep the cartridges in the fridge overnight to preserve the ink, it must be that some water vapor condensed on the electrodes when I take it out to put it in the printer.
I solved the issue by cleaning the contacts, replacing the cartridge and reducing the slew rate to 1, but I couldn't get the ink to jet with 20V, I could only reduce it from 38 to 34. Thanks Ozberk Ozturk for the suggestions.
