Ink and makeup 2-1
2.1 Ink and makeup
(1) Ink and makeup replenishment
The printer employs an automatic ink/makeup replenishment system. While the printer is operated, the
ink reservoir automatically supplies the ink and the makeup reservoir automatically supplies the makeup
to the ink main tank at regular intervals. If the ink or makeup replenisher level is too low, an alarm is
issued. In this case, replenish the ink or makeup without delay.
(For the replenishment procedures, see Section 8.)
(2) Ink periodic replacement
For the replacement procedures, see “Technical Manual Chapter 6”.
●
While the IJ printer ink circulates for operations, it reacts with the atmospheric air elements and
deteriorates with time. Therefore, it needs periodic replacement. The guide for determining the
replacement interval conforms to the handling guidance of each ink.
*What is makeup? :
The makeup serves as the replenisher that makes up for the constituent loss due to ink
evaporation during ink ejection. It is also used as a cleaning solution.
