Handling Guidance and Precautions for Ink ◆Please read SDS(Safety Data Sheet) of purchased ink and makeup. ◆Before using IJ printer, please read following precautions for stable operation. ◆Please refer "Basic Operation Manual", "Instruction Manual" and "Technical Manual" also. WARNING is used to indicate the presence of a hazard which may cause severe WARNING...
Store inks and makeups in the cold dark place (0 to 20℃ ).(Please store them in the same way regardless before and after opening cartridge/bottle.) There is an opening deadline for inks and makeups. Please fill them into the IJ printer before the "Expiration date" described on the cartridge/bottle. ("Expiration date" means "Opening deadline".) Once the cartridge/bottle is opened, even if it is stored in a cold dark place, the ink begins to deteriorate in the same manner as the ink in the printer.
[ iii ] Print Head Cleaning Take the following precautions when cleaning ink from around the nozzle. Face the end of the print head downward and pour makeup onto the dirty part and clean while catching the makeup in a beaker.

Stoppable Period and Long-term Shutdown If the IJ printer is not operated on regular basis, ink may stick in circulation system. If it sticks, error such as ink not ejecting and ink can not be recovered are occur. To prevent these issues, refer to "IJ printer Stoppable period (*1)", and operate IJ printer (eject ink from the nozzle) on a regular basis.
The IJ printer automatically cleans the circulation system with makeup (solvent) when stopped to prevent ink from sticking. At this time, the amount of solvent in the ink tank increases and the ink viscosity decreases. On the other hand, when the IJ printer is operated, the ink viscosity is automatically adjusted for stable operation.
