Chapter 1 Before Use
Caution in handling of ink packs
• Use genuine ink packs for this machine. This
machine functions by recognizing the genuine ink
packs. In case of troubles caused by modified ink
packs or the like, it shall be out of the warranty
even within the warranty period.
• If the ink pack is moved from a cold place to a
warm place, leave it in the room temperature for
three hours or more before using it.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink
pack, once it is opened, within three months. If an
extended period of time has passed away after
opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would
be poor.
• Make sure to store ink packs in a cool and dark
place.
• Store ink packs and waste ink tank in a place that
is out of the reach of children.
• Request an industrial waste processor for
processing of empty ink packs.
• When you removed the ink pack from the seat
before it ends, wipe ink adhering to inside of the
connector part of the ink pack with a cotton swab
etc. If ink adhering to inside of the connector part
may dry out, it may cause ink leakage when using
it again.
• Do not shake ink packs violently. This may result
in ink leakage from the ink packs.
• Never refill the ink packs with ink. This may result
in troubles.
MIMAKI will not bear any responsibility for any
damage caused by the use of the ink packs
refilled with ink.
• Do not disassemble the ink packs.

Caution in handling of medias
Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.
• When using a media other then the following, be
sure to perform test printing to confirm the plot result
and then determine whether it can be used or not.
• Do not leave pre-treated fabric media set. Medicant
of pre-treatment agent may promote rust of the grit
roller.
• Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure
reliable, high-quality printing.
• When setting the fabric used, be sure to adjust the
head height. Otherwise, the fabric and/or the head can
be damaged.
• If preventing treatment for fray on right and left edges
and tenter are thick against the fabric thickness, adjust
the head height and stainless plate height of the fabric
holder depending on the thickness of the right and left
edges of the fabric.
• If using fabric with thick right and left edges, as take-up
slippage may easily occur because right and left edges
of the roll rise at take-up. If take-up slippage occurred,
fabric tends to skew and it may cause troubles such as
contact with the head nozzle surface.
• Do not use a fabric with high expansion and
contraction due to ink adhesion or resilient fabric. If
such a fabric is used, it may cause the trouble of
contact with the nozzle surface or the misaligned
printing.
• When using a fabric with curling, be sure to remove the
curling before using. Strong curling may effect on the
quality of printing or may hit the head nozzle surface
and may cause discharging defect.
• Store fabric in a bag. Wiping off dust, waste paper and
flocks accumulated on a fabric will adversely affect the
fabric due to static electricity.
• When you use fabric media that will easily generate
static for printing, use the attached neutralization
fabric. In addition, raise the humidity of the usage
environment by using a humidifier etc.
