Ink Maintenance; White Ink Maintenance - MIMAKI UJV100-160 Care And Maintenance

2. Maintenance Methods

Ink Maintenance

If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
bottle periodically to keep printing consistent.
UV ink: once a month.
UV white ink: once a day.
• This machine counts the time elapsed after stirring the white ink. The "Shake White Ink Bottle"
message appears when a preset count is reached. If the message appears, shake the white ink
bottle by following the instructions below:
When the message appears: every 24 hours (or when the power is turned on if the power was
turned off).
l Shaking the Ink bottle
1
Shake the Ink bottle to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Tighten the ink bottle lid securely, then shake the bottle slowly from left to right to ensure that the
ink moves inside, holding the ink bottle lid with a paper towel.
• Shake slowly. If the bottle is shaken too violently, ink may leak out or the air mixed in the
ink may cause nozzle clogging.
• If the ink bottle is partially used, tilt it slowly until the ink bottle is upright.

White Ink Maintenance

White ink constituents are more easily sedimented than other ink colors. If ink constituents are sedimented,
the ink density may become uneven. Perform maintenance once a week as follows before using the
