Ink Cartridge Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before replacing ink cartridges.
Storing precautions for ink
❏ Keep the ink cartridges out of direct sunlight.
❏ Do not store the ink cartridges in high or freezing temperatures.
❏ For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
❏ For best results, store ink cartridge packages with their bottom down.
❏ After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
