Ink Filters
The Arizona 250 GT ink system is protected from contaminants in the ink by means
of four ink filters. These are easily accessed and can be replaced by the end-user
when they become blocked with debris. The expected average lifetime for a filter is
approximately 6 months or 11 bags of ink (22 liters). However, some filters can last
longer and some will require more frequent replacements due to the ink color
(pigment) and varying rates of use.
Note: A loss of pigment when printing a nozzle check indicates that a filter is
clogged and must be replaced.
How to Store and Handle UV Ink
To ensure good quality images and to extend the life of printheads in the Arizona 250
GT printer, it is important to have good UV ink management procedures. UV inks
must be properly handled and stored correctly.
Inks must be stored within a temperature range of 15º to 40ºC (59º to104ºF).
Exposure to extreme temperatures will reduce the expected life of the ink.
