Ink Filters
The UV ink in your printer is protected from contaminants in the ink by means of ink
filters. These are easily accessed and can be replaced by the operator when they become
blocked with debris (see the Maintenance section "How to Change Ink Filters"). The
expected average lifetime for a filter is approximately 12 months or 11 bags of ink (22
liters). However, some filters can last longer and some will require more frequent replace-
ments due to the ink color (pigment) and varying rates of use.
Note:
A loss of pigment when printing a nozzle check or long ink fill times indicates that a
filter is clogged and must be replaced.
How to Store and Handle UV Ink
To ensure good quality images and to extend the life of printheads in your printer, it is
important to have good UV ink management procedures. UV inks must be properly
handled and stored correctly.
