When used with 4-color ink set, the
machine supplies ink from the ink car-
tridge with lower ink. In this case, the
cartridge being used lights in green.
• An organic solvent is used in solvent ink. When ink sticks on skins, wash it with soapy water
immediately then rinse it off with water fully. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your
eyes with a lot of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the eyess
to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Use genuine ink cartridges for this machine. This machine functions by recognizing the
genuine ink cartridges. In case of troubles caused by modified ink cartridges or the like, it shall
be out of the warranty even within the warranty period.
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature
for three hours or more before using it.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within three
months. If an extended period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank,
printing quality would be poor.
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark place.
• Store ink cartridges and waste ink tank in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• Request an industrial waste processor for processing of empty ink cartridges.
• Do not shake ink cartridges violently. This may result in ink leakage from the ink cartridges.
• Never refill the ink cartridges with ink. This may result in troubles.
MIMAKI will not bear any responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridges
refilled with ink.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge. This may cause damages on printed
circuit boards.
• Do not disassemble the ink cartridges.
