Poor print quality on the DM50-DM60

Print quality issues have occurred:

Several factors can contribute to deterioration in print quality:

Lack of use: When the franking machine is idle for a long time, dried ink from previous printings can clog the nozzles in the print head.
Overuse: Overuse increases wear and tear on the print head and can lead to issues.
Ink issues: Low ink or no ink in the print cartridge can impair print quality and cause other problems with the franking machine.
