Operating Instructions
The A3 R1390 UV printer offers versatile printing capabilities for various materials and applications.
1. Flatbed Printing
Place your flat material (e.g., phone case, wood, acrylic) securely on the flatbed. Use the software to prepare your design and initiate the printing process. The printer supports various effects, including embossed textures.

3. DTF Printing (Stickers)
For DTF (Direct to Film) printing, load the specialized film onto the printer. The printer will apply the design, which can then be transferred to various surfaces as stickers. This method is ideal for creating custom labels and decals.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Ovsuqu A3 R1390 UV Flatbed Printer. Follow these guidelines:
- Printhead Cleaning: Perform daily automatic printhead cleaning cycles. If print quality degrades, perform a manual cleaning using a lint-free cloth and appropriate cleaning solution.
- White Ink Circulation: Ensure the white ink circulation system is always active to prevent pigment settling.
- Water Pump Check: Verify the water level in the cooling system monthly. Refill with distilled water or cooling fluid as needed.
- General Cleaning: Keep the print bed and surrounding areas clean from dust and ink residue. Use a soft, damp cloth for external surfaces.
- Ink Expiration: Monitor ink expiration dates and replace cartridges or bottles as necessary to maintain print quality.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
- Nozzle Clogging: If print quality shows lines or missing colors, perform a printhead cleaning cycle. If persistent, consider a deeper manual clean or professional service.
- Poor Ink Adhesion: Ensure the material surface is clean and properly pre-treated (if required). Check UV lamp intensity and curing settings.
- White Ink Sedimentation: Verify the white ink circulation system is functioning correctly. Shake white ink bottles gently before loading if they have been stored for a long time.
- Printer Not Responding: Check all cable connections (power, USB). Ensure the emergency stop button is not engaged. Restart the printer and computer.
- Software Errors: Consult the software manual or contact support. Ensure your operating system and printer drivers are up to date.
