NC-UVDTF60 Ink Cartridge Replacement

Proper NC-UVDTF60 Ink Cartridge Replacement​ keeps your 60CM UV DTF Printer NC-UVDTF60-PLUS running without ink starvation, air ingestion, or color shift. The official NOCAI after-sales video for UVDTF60 states clearly: “Accessory replacement must be performed when the device is powered off. Do not operate powered on!” The NC-UVDTF60-PLUS user manual also requires powering off the machine before cleaning or repair, and mandates original NOCAI ink—non-NOCAI ink voids after-sales service. Replace the cartridge when the control panel indicates low ink, an empty cartridge chip triggers a warning, or a particular color is depleted. Follow the steps below carefully.

Preparation

Power off the printer and disconnect the mains cable. Wear nitrile gloves to avoid skin contact with UV ink. Prepare a clean workspace with absorbent paper. You will need: a new genuine ink cartridge matching the required color, a screwdriver (to remove the sheet metal cover if required), lint-free wipes, isopropyl alcohol, and a small container for residual ink.

Removing the Old Cartridge

Open the ink cartridge cover at the back of the machine. Identify the color to replace according to the cartridge indicator. Lock the buckle on the ink tube first to prevent ink from flowing out. Disconnect the float ball wire, then carefully remove the old cartridge. If needed, unscrew the sheet metal cover and the alarm board bracket following the NOCAI after-sales video. Pour the remaining ink from the old cartridge into the new one to minimize waste.

Installing the New Cartridge

Connect the new cartridge’s pre-fitted tube to the filter. Seat the new cartridge into its dedicated slot and secure it with the fixing screws. Reconnect the float ball wire. Tighten the ink bottle cap properly. Add ink by the corresponding color as indicated by the diagram—shake white ink thoroughly before filling, and fill often but in smaller amounts to avoid leakage.

Manual Inking and Testing

In standby mode, press RIGHT → Equipment Maintenance → Manual Inking → Enter. Click OK to start pumping ink. Observe the waste ink bottle until ink is drawn out and the ink path is clear. Then run Auto Cleaning (select All, confirm). Print a test strip via the TEST key. If there is color missing or ink breakage, continue with manual printhead cleaning until the test strip is fully printed—this indicates successful ink installation. Once the nozzle check shows even firing across all channels, the NC-UVDTF60 Ink Cartridge Replacement​ is complete and the printer is ready for production.

Post-Replacement Care

The ink shelf life is 3 months after opening; stir ink regularly and turn on the ink stirring function during use. If the printer will be idle for more than 3 days, add 3–5 drops of cleaning fluid into the cap top and seal the nozzle to protect the printhead. Note that using non-NOCAI ink may void after-sales support.
