How to Handle Ink Cartridges How to Handle Media
• Use the TPC-1000 genuine ink. Remember that the
user shall be responsible for repairing any damage
resulting from the use of ink other than the genuine
one.
• When any ink other than the TPC-1000 genuine ink
is used, the machine will not operate for its own
protection.
• Do not use the TPC-1000 genuine ink for other
printers because doing so may cause the printers to
break down.
• Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilled ink
cartridge can cause a trouble. Remember that
MIMAKI assumes no responsibility for any damage
caused by the use of the ink cartridge replenished
with ink.
• 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.
• Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the
machine. If it is opened and left for an extended
period of time, normal printing performance of the
machine may not be ensured.
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark
place.
• Store ink cartridges and the waste ink tank in a place
that is out of the reach of children.
• 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.
• Neither pound the ink cartridge nor shake it violently,
as doing so can cause leakage of ink.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink
cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the
print circuit board.
• Waste ink is equivalent to waste oil of industrial
waste. Request an industrial waste disposal
company for disposal of waste ink.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure
reliable, high-quality printing.
• Set the heater temperature to meet the
characteristics of the media.
Set the temperature of the Pre-heater, Print heater
and Post-heater according to the type and
characteristics of the media used. Automatic
temperature setting can be made on the operation
panel by setting the profile on the dedicated RIP. For
setting on the RIP, refer to the instruction manual for
your RIP.
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the
media.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The
media can be affected by the room temperature and
humidity, and thus it may expand and contract.The
media have to be left in the atmosphere in which
they are to be used for 30 minutes or more after
unpacked.
• Do not use curled media.
The use of curled media can not only cause a media
jam but also affect print quality.
Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled,
before using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated
sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side
has to face outside.
About Media and Dust
• Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated
on media will adversely affect the media due to
static electricity.
• When leaving the workshop after the working hours,
do not leave any media on the roll hanger. If any
media is left on the roll hanger, it can get dusty.
Caution about Maintenance
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is not dusty. Set the Refresh level 2 or 3 when
the machine is to be used in an unfavorable environment. ( See the operation manual.)
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a
case, be sure to clean up the heads. ( See the operation manual.)
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear the attached gloves. Further, when the
solvent ink is used, it is necessary to wear the attached goggles.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the capping station and wiper frequently.
Periodic Replacement Parts
•
Some parts of this machine must be replaced with new ones periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a con-
tract with your distributor or dealer for after sale service to ensure the long life of your machine.
