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.
