Arizona Printer Inks
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.
• Inks must be stored within a temperature range of 5 - 30°C (41 - 86°F). Exposure to extreme
temperatures will reduce the expected life of the ink.
• Do not use ink that is past the expiry date displayed in the Ink System Status menu (click the
Ink icon in the Print Job Control module to view the ink menu).
• Store in cool, dry place and keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Swab the printheads with UV Flush at least once a week (and as needed) to dislodge any
potential buildup of particles or ink.
Access to MSDS Ink Information
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for each color of ink and the UV Flush are available from the
corporate Océ Global E-Marketing (GEM) website. For the latest MSDS and PSDS, visit: http://
