INTRODUCTION
Caring for your ink and cartridges
• Be sure each of the four cartridges uses the same type of ink.
• Do not mix inks.
• Do not shake ink refill containers.
• Store ink and cartridges in the same environment as the printer
whenever possible.
• 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. Place
the cartridge in a 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.
• Handle cartridges only on the plastic areas. Touching the copper
electrical interconnect or the inkjets can damage the cartridge.
• Use only the ENCAD-branded ink refills.
• Be sure to refill cartridges with the same color and type of ink they
originally contained. (For example, if the cartridge contained GS
ink, refill it with GS ink, not GA ink.)
