How to Store and Handle UV Ink
To ensure good quality images and to extend the life of printheads in your printer, it is
important to have good UV ink management procedures. UV inks must be properly
handled and stored correctly.
• Inks must be stored within a temperature range of 5 - 30°C (41 - 86°F). Exposure to
extreme temperatures will reduce the expected life of the ink.
• Do not use ink that is past the expiry date displayed in the Ink System Status menu
(click the Ink icon in the Print Job Control module to view the ink menu).
• Store in cool, dry place and keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Perform Printhead Maintenance every day before printing.
• Swab the printheads with UV Flush at least once a week (and as needed) to dislodge
any potential buildup of particles or ink.
Access to MSDS Ink Information
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for each color of ink and the UV Flush are available
on the customer web site at: http://dgs.oce.com/. Read and periodically review this safety
information to ensure optimal safe handling procedures and proper emergency responses
are followed when using UV inks and flush. See also Chapter 3 "UV Ink and Flush".
