Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before refilling ink.
Handling precautions
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ This printer requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled with ink.
If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the printer.
❏ When storing or transporting an ink bottle after removing its seal, 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 measures to prevent ink from leaking
when you transport the bottle.
❏ 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.
❏ 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.
