Ink Filters
The Arizona 200/250 GT ink system is protected from contaminants in the ink by
means of four ink filters. These are easily accessed and can be replaced by the
end-user when they become blocked with debris. The expected average lifetime for
a filter is approximately 6 months or 11 bags of ink (22 liters). However, some filters
can last longer and some will require more frequent replacements due to the ink color
(pigment) and varying rates of use.
Note: A loss of pigment when printing a nozzle check 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 the Arizona
200/250 GT printer, it is important to have good UV ink management procedures.
UV inks must be properly handled and stored correctly.
Inks must be stored within a temperature range of 15º to 40ºC (59º to104ºF).
Exposure to extreme temperatures will reduce the expected life of the ink.
