Store ink and cartridges in the same environment as the printer whenever

leak through the jet plate.
If you remove a cartridge from the printer, do not leave it exposed to the air
I
for an extended period because the jet may clog. Replace the original tape on
the jet plate. Place the cartridge in a cartridge garage or a sealed plastic bag
and store it at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
Open new cartridges only when you are ready to install them.

Use only OCE brand ink refills and cartridges.

Connect cartridges to reservoirs which contain the same colour and ink type
I
as the cartridge.
Drawings using both black and colour elements must have aligned cartridges

the copper electrical interconnect or the inkjets can damage the cartridge.
