Ventilation
The LOKPRINT™ II is equipped with a ventilation system comprising of two fans
with carbon filters and multiple internal machine compartments / components. One
filter is used to reduce the odors that are exhausted from the heat chamber while the
other is used to filter the ambient air drawn in to cool the electronics compartment.
Vapors created during the sublimation process have an odor and may be seen as
smoke escaping from the heat chamber area. If there is an unusually high amount of
odor or visual smoke escaping near the front of the machine - check the filter(s) on
the back of the machine. Make sure they are in place and clean. The filters are held
in place with a snap on cover for quick and easy replacement.
The exhaust fan’s filter (on the right as viewed from the rear of the machine) will
normally need to be turned over after every 2 rolls of ink and replaced after
approximately 4 rolls of ink. At the time of replacement it is recommended to move
the intake fan’s filter to the exhaust fan and install a new filter on the intake fan. This
rotation procedure will insure that both filters are kept at peak performance.
As the system pulls fresh air in the front of the heat chamber and exhausts it out the
filter - it also cools the outer surfaces of the machine so they are safe to the touch.
These surfaces will be warm to the touch, but will not cause burns.
It is extremely important to keep the Plexiglas guard closed at all times during
operation except for threading the fabric. The airflow management and heat chamber
control systems have both been designed to operate with the guard closed and all the
covers in place. Attempting to operate the system with any guard or cover altered or
missing will disrupt the control strategies and adversely affect the fabric temperature.
