Special Guidelines for Storage and Handling for PD200 Inks
The Polyprint PD200 white Ink and cleaning solution will provide excellent results when stored
and handled properly. The following storage and handling practices are required to ensure
consistent quality and performance of the white ink:
Product Storage Guidelines:
It is recommended to store the white ink in a clean, dry area, with temperatures between
10 and 30 degrees Celsius.
Handling of white ink in 1 Liter bottles:
Keep bottles on mechanical roller while storing or vigorously shake bottle manually every 3-4
days and before filling bulk system.
Shelf life of white ink:
With constant rolling
1 Year
With agitation weekly
6 months
If sedimentation occurs, do not use a paint shaker. This will break the sediment up and will form
particles that can be caught in the print head or damper and restrict the ink flow. Light swirling
or shaking of the bottle will be enough to agitate the ink into its usable form. Hard material
settled on the bottom of the bottle should not be mixed back in. Soft sediment can be easily
mixed back in with minimum energy stirring or rolling.
Handling of ink in ink cartridges, and printer tubes
Shake ink cartridges vigorously for 3-5 seconds before use and weekly. When restarting after
one or two days we recommend performing cleaning cycle before starting production.
Remove white ink during long time of inactivity:
Remove the white ink from the system and flush out the print head with distilled water or
flushing solution. The print head should remain filled with distilled water or flushing solution
until printer is ready to be refilled with white ink.
