INK CARTRIDGE STORAGE PROCEDURE
For short term storing (less than one day)
•
Leave the cartridge in the machine, capped. Capping cartridge is always recommended to
prevent the nozzles from drying out or becoming clogged due to ink’s solvent evaporation or
dusting.
•
Wipe and/ or purge the cartridge next time it is used until good print quality is achieved.
For long term storing (more than one day)
•
Remove the cartridge from the machine
•
Remember that all inkjet print cartridges produce a small amount of ink residue that may build
up on the cartridge nozzles during printing. We need to wipe the cartridge to remove these ink
residues from the nozzles plate.
•
Tightly cape the print cartridge by sealing tape.
•
Leave the cartridge uncapped and place it in an airtight container with moist, dust- free cloth or
sponge to prevent cartridge’s nozzles from drying out or becoming clogged. Close the container
tightly.
•
Wipe and/or purge the print cartridge next time it is used until getting the good print quality is
achieved.
System disposal
•
Keep the print head connected to the ink reservoir when disposing of system.
•
Place the entire system in a plastic bag to avoid ink leakage.
Important handling cautions
•
The cartridge has to be stored in a nozzle-up position.
•
Never squeeze the ink reservoir as this will push ink out of the print head.
•
To avoid getting air in the print head, never shake, drop or hit the print head.
•
To avoid getting air in the print head, never hold the print head more than 10 inches above the
ink reservoir when removing the system for storage.
