Installing the ink cassettes
The Gerber Jetster uses Eco-solvent inks. There is no need for special ventilation or
environmental equipment. Prints made with Eco-solvent inks are UV- and water-resistant for
up to three years outdoors (*). Lamination is required for heavy-duty applications.
Eco-solvent ink is contained in smart cassettes with an indicator that specifies the ink type.
When the ink cassettes are installed in the cassette slots, the Gerber Jetster immediately
recognizes the type of ink in the cassette and determines if it is installed in the proper slot. If the
ink type and slot are incompatible, a message displays on the control panel. In addition, CMYK
cassettes are keyed so that you can not insert them in the wrong slot.
Each cassette contains a sensor that monitors the ink supply. As the ink is used, the amount is
monitored. When the cassette reaches a low ink level the Gerber Jetster displays a message to
install a new ink cassette.
(*) Accelerated weather tests predict up to 3 years outdoor durability. Outdoor durability is location and
application dependent.
Precautions when using Eco-solvent ink cassettes
Please read below recommendations carefully before you start using your Gerber Jetster
Eco-solvent ink cassettes.
WARNING: Avoid any direct contact with the inks. If you come in close contact
with the inks, please pay attention to the following first-aid measures:
Eye contact: Rinse out the ink with a large quantity of water and consult your
doctor.
Skin contact: Wash off the ink with soap and water.
Ingestion: Rinse your mouth immediately, drink a large quantity of water or milk
and consult your doctor.
Keep the ink cassettes out of the reach of children.
The ink cassettes are flammable (ignition point 145°F/63°C). Avoid contact with
heating sources and any sort of ignition source.
