How to prevent nozzle clogging in a high-uptime environment.
The biggest enemy of any industrial printer is downtime. In a Single Pass setup, if one nozzle fails, it leaves a "white line" across the entire production run.

Operators should perform a "purge and spit" routine during shifts to ensure ink doesn't dry in the nozzles, especially when using fast-drying pigment inks designed for uncoated cardboard.
