Caring for your ink and cartridges
!
Handle cartridges only on the plastic areas. Touching the copper electrical interconnect
or the inkjets can damage the cartridge.
• Be sure the ink in the cartridges matches the ink in the reservoirs.
• Do not mix inks.
• Do not shake ink refill containers.
• Store ink and cartridges in the same environment as the printer whenever possible.
• Removing cartridges may result in loss of negative pressure and cause the cartridge to
leak through the jet plate. If you remove a cartridge from the printer, do not leave it
exposed to the air for an extended period because the jets may clog. Replace the
original tape on the jet plate. Place the cartridge in a cartridge garage or sealed plastic
bag and store it in a closed area at room temperature. Keep it out of direct sunlight.
• Open new cartridges only when you are ready to install them.
• Use only ENCAD-brand ink refills and cartridges.
• Drawings containing both black and color elements require alignment of the cartridges
to each other. See the Quick Start Guide for details.
Choose the right media
You can rely on ENCAD media for rich, vivid images across the entire color spectrum.
ENCAD media is specially formulated to demanding specifications, strict performance
criteria, and uncompromising quality controls. This assures superb interaction with CIS Ink
and flawless performance with the printer.
Caring for your media
Store media in its original packaging in a cool, dry area until you are ready to use it. The
environment should be stable; i.e., no extremes of heat and cold, and non-condensing
humidity. If conditions are outside the operating ranges recommended for the printer,
allow the media to acclimate in the operating environment for at least 48 hours before
using it.
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, be sure to store it in a manner which keeps
it clean and dust-free. Ideally, you should return it to its original packaging for storage.
