A maintenance system for spray head includes an ink cavity of the spray head communication with the external environment through spray holes. The ink cavity of the spray head is connected with a first accommodating cavity of a first regulating device through a pipeline; when the ink in the ink circulation loop is in a circulating flow state, the ink flows into the ink cavity of the spray head from the first accommodating cavity; because the first accommodating cavity and the ink cavity of the spray head are in a communication state, the change of the first air pressure within the first negative pressure range can make the ink in the first accommodating cavity and the ink cavity of the spray head oscillate at the same time.

In one embodiment, a high-speed, closed-loop fabric printer comprises a plurality of consecutive stations that can be managed by a single operator. In particular, shirts or other fabric garments may be individually loaded and secured on a pallet by an operator, and the loaded pallets may then cycle through a plurality of unmanned stations positioned along a contiguous path (e.g., oval). The stations may be configured for pretreating the fabric surface, drying and pressing the pretreated fabric with heat, and then inkjet printing a selected image, among others. In this manner, a 'wet-to-dry-to-wet' direct to garment (DTG) printing process may thus be achieved, along with optimal controls for maximum adaptability. Furthermore, due to the closed-loop design, a recently printed fabric product returns to the operator to be unloaded at the position in which a new unprinted fabric is loaded, allowing for increased throughput and minimal operator requirements.
