How the TMS System Works
This self-contained Printhead Maintenance System from TMS keeps your printer’s capping station in peak condition and unclogs resistant printheads by removing blockages on the waste ink path. Here’s how you can use it:
Positioning the Printhead:
Printer problems are challenging to troubleshoot because of their hands-on nature. As a result, we cannot offer remote troubleshooting, recommendations, or help replacing printers. Due to limited availability, we provide an in-house testing and repair service (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service) on a first-come, first-serve basis. So it may take several weeks before we can send your printer over to deliver it. We do not take a repair to a unit; we either repair a whole printer or individual components. But we understand that our rates are not the cheapest. So, we suggest that you find a solution independently with online research. A good place to start is to use YouTube. You can visit the homepage for our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies) and search for specific videos using the search icon next to "About" on the right side of the menu bar. Daily, I get dozens of messages asking if I have videos on specific topics. This post may be the hardest, but having made videos for about nine years, it’s tricky to remember them all. Thus, the best method would be to use YouTube's search feature. And YouTube may also recommend relevant videos from other channels to help you.
Thanks for contacting us again. We hope you find this information useful in fixing your printer issues!

How the TMS System Works
This self-contained Printhead Maintenance System from TMS keeps your printer’s capping station in peak condition and unclogs resistant printheads by removing blockages on the waste ink path. Here’s how you can use it:
Positioning the Printhead:
- Could you shift the printhead to park correctly on the capping station? This provides a good seal for the system to create negative pressure.
- Connect the TMS system to the waste ink line and use it to suck potential ink jams. This prevents clogs from dried ink, which is particularly troublesome for DTG printers with white ink.
- One of the reasons for the clogging of white ink in DTG printers is that it has a heavier pigment composition. For clogged printheads, you might have to repeat this process several times.
- With regular use, the TMS system will clear all lines and the capping station for a clog-free future.
- Use Specific Cleaning Solutions: DTG printers have unique cleaning solutions that can help dissolve the clog better for white inks.
- Prevention Tips: To minimize future clogs, run maintenance cycles regularly and do not allow the printer to sit for long periods of inactivity.
