# How Often Should I Run My Printomize DTF Printer?

## Your DTF printer should be operated at least once every four (4) days, provided it has been properly cleaned, wet-capped, and stored in a climate-controlled environment between 65°F and 75°F.

DTF printers depend on consistent ink movement to prevent pigment settling and printhead clogging. Even when the printer is not in active use, short routine operation keeps ink lines primed and the nozzles hydrated.

For all **Printomize America DTF printers**—including the **Hyper DTF**, **Peregrine**, **Nebula**, **Maverick AIO**, and **Eyas2**—we recommend running a short print or nozzle check at least once every **four (4) days**. This simple routine maintains ink circulation, prevents drying, and ensures consistent print quality.
