I. Hazards of Static Electricity

Direct damage, with high cost
· Print head ink leakage and pattern offset: Static electricity interferes with the flight path of ink droplets, resulting in printing artifacts, blurriness, and ink accumulation.
· Circuit board breakdown risk: Instant high-voltage static electricity may directly break through precision electronic components such as the mainboard and print head driver board, with extremely high repair costs.

Indirect influence, continuous loss
· Attracting dust and blocking the print head: Static electricity will attract tiny dust particles in the environment, accelerating the clogging of the print head and affecting the stability of ink discharge. 
· Reduces overall accuracy and lifespan: Long-term electrostatic interference will deteriorate the quality of printed products and accelerate the aging of the equipment.

II. Six Major Prevention and Control Measures: Building a Comprehensive 'Static Electricity Barrier'

Measure 1: Grounding Standards — The Fundamental Defense, Unbreakable
· Strictly Inspect Ground Wires: Ensure that the connection of ground wires meets the standards, and regularly check for aging or looseness.
· Replace Damaged Cables Promptly: Once ground wire damage is discovered, replace it immediately to prevent the accumulation of static electricity.

Measure 2: Environmental Control — Creating a Friendly Climate
· Temperature and humidity are key: Try to maintain the workshop temperature between 18-30°C and humidity between 35%-60%.
· Use humidifiers effectively: Use industrial humidifiers to evenly add moisture, avoiding excessive air flow that can cause localized dryness.

Measure 3: Consumables Management — Reduce Risks from the Source
· Professional Ink Selection: It is essential to use factory-calibrated and matched ink. Avoid using alternative inks with high viscosity or prone to generating static electricity.
· Medium Pre-treatment: Prioritize anti-static coated printing materials. Before feeding into the printer, avoid stacking and friction of the medium. It can be pre-placed in the printing environment to balance temperature and humidity.

Measure Four: Component Maintenance — Keeping Equipment in Optimal Condition
· Regular Replacement of Worn Parts: Timely replace worn contact parts such as paper pressure rollers and paper guides to prevent electrostatic generation from friction.
· Professional Cleaning: Regularly clean the printing platform and areas around the print head, with anti-static cleaning agents recommended.

Measure Five: Operational Standards — Cultivate Good Habits
· Personnel Self-Discharge: Before operators come into contact with equipment or media, they should first touch a grounded metal rod/plate to discharge their own static electricity.
· Speed Matching Material: Select an appropriate printing speed based on the electrostatic tendency of the printing material, avoiding the sole use of high-speed mode.

Measure 6: Auxiliary Tools - Upgrade Protective Equipment
· Consider installing electrostatic eliminators: Install ion wind electrostatic eliminators at critical locations (such as paper feeding and paper collecting areas) to actively neutralize charges.
· Use anti-static cloths and brushes: Use dedicated anti-static tools during cleaning and maintenance.
