CLEANING THE PART

Thoroughly cleaning the parts when they come out of the printer is the first step in the process to achieving better color. The core 

material is white and when not fully removed from a part surface the colors will appear dull and faded .  Additionally, the excess core 

material can be recycled when you use the Cleaning Station area of the printer .  

BASIC CLEANING

Cleaning

1 .  Use the machine’s compressed 

air wand

 to blow off the part in the ProJet 4500’s cleaning station

2 .  Use the paint brush included in the accessory kit in 

conjunction with the air wand to gross de-powder as 

much core off the part as possible .

• 

DO NOT 

brush the parts in the printer’s cleaning sta-

tion with anything other than the included soft bristle 

paintbrush . This may introduce cured and colored 

powder into the feeder thus contaminating the clean 

core material .  Contaminated core material may lead 

to discolored parts and possible printer failure . 

Cleaning with Soft Bristle Paintbrush

NOTE: These steps are all that are needed to clean your part . Further cleaning and post-processing is left to your 

discretion .
