Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before refilling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏ Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏ Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
❏ To ensure printer quality, use all the ink in the ink tank before the earlier of the following dates.
❏ Expiry date noted on the ink bottle
❏ 25 days after the ink tank was refilled
❏ Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill the ink tank. The ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
Handling precautions for refilling ink
