Abstract: A print device includes a processor and a memory. The memory storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, perform processes. The processes include covering processing controlling a cap into a covering state in which the cap covers a nozzle. The processes include first purge processing purging, in a state in which the cap is in the covering state and a supply valve is closed, an ink from the nozzle by operating a pump at a first rotation speed. The processes include injection processing injecting, after the first purge processing and in a state in which the cap is in the covering state and the supply valve is open, the cleaning liquid into the interior of the cap by operating the pump at a second rotation speed to cause the cleaning liquid to soak a nozzle face.

Abstract: A print device includes a head, a recovery portion, a processor, and a memory. The head is configured to eject a first ink for base printing and a second ink for image printing. The first ink is ejected onto a print medium and the second ink is ejected on the base printing to print image printing. The recovery portion is configured to perform recovery processing. The recovery processing recovers an ejection performance of the first ink of the head. The memory stores computer-readable instructions. When the computer-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor acquires an integrated value of an ejection amount of the first ink. And the processor also determines, based on the acquired integrated value, whether to perform the recovery processing by the recovery portion.

The recovery portion performs recovery processing to recover an ejection performance of the ink of the head. The processor acquires an integrated value of an ejection amount of the ink, and determines when the integrated value is equal to or more than a reference value, execution of the recovery processing including wiping of a nozzle surface. A nozzle hole is formed in the nozzle surface and ejects the ink. The processor acquires a temperature correlation value corresponding to an environmental temperature, and sets the reference value based on the acquired temperature correlation value such that the reference value when the environmental temperature is a first temperature is smaller than the reference value when the environmental temperature is a second temperature. The second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: A nozzle arrangement has nozzle arrays arranged in a first direction. Liquid passages are interconnected via a communication path and arranged in the first direction. Nozzles in each one of the nozzle arrays are connected to a corresponding one of the liquid passages. Each of the liquid passages has a first end connected to a supply port and a second end connected to the communication path, in a second direction. The controller controls a flushing operation ejecting liquid from the nozzles as waste liquid. The controller controls the head portion to perform a selective flushing operation. The selective flushing operation is an operation of ejecting the liquid from the nozzles corresponding to a part, being at least one of the liquid passages, of a set of liquid passages while stopping ejection of the liquid from the nozzles corresponding to a remaining part of the set of liquid passages.
