Setting ink bottles
1
Take out the ink bottle, and slowly shake it
twenty times and more.
• To prevent ink from leaking when you shake it,
wear gloves and cover the ink bottle cap with a
paper towel etc. Being in that status, slowly shake
it twenty times and more by flowing ink.
2
Remove the cap of the ink bottle.
3
Attach the specialized cap to the ink bottle.
• Before shaking it, check that the cap is firmly
closed.
• If you shake it too strong, it may cause ink
leakage. Therefore, perform this carefully.
• If the remaining amount of ink is less, ink in the
bottle cannot be beaten enough. Tilt the ink bottle
until it becomes vertical.
Cover with paper towel firmly and shake ink slowly
Repeat this
• If the mouth of the ink bottle is fitted with a seal
(1)
Use a cutter or similar tool to cut out a circle
from the seal at the mouth of the bottle. If
there is any leftover cut, it may cause ink to
leak.
(2)
Do not scratch the mouth of the ink bottle.
Ink may leak from the scratched area.
(3)
Be careful not to drop the seal into the ink
bottle. If you use the bottle with a piece of the
seal inside, it may clog the special cap and
prevent the supply of ink.
