Handling Ink Cartridges - Epson SureColor S30675 User Manual

Handling ink cartridges

Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality.
Additional precautions are required for white and metallic silver inks. See "Spot Color Inks"
on page 35.
❏ Extra ink is required to fully charge the print head nozzles the first time the printer is
used; replacement cartridges will be needed earlier than usual.
❏ Store ink cartridges at room temperature in a location that is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
❏ Store ink cleaner at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
❏ To ensure print quality, use all the ink in the cartridge before the earlier of the following
dates:
❏ The expiration date shown on the ink cartridge packaging
❏ Six months after opening the ink cartridge package
❏ If you move ink cartridges from a cold place to a warm place, leave it at room
temperature for more than four hours before using the ink cartridge.
❏ Do not touch the ink cartridge IC chip. You may not be able to print properly.
❏ In 8 Color (Fixed) mode or 4C Mode, use replacement cartridges to fill all slots with
cartridges. In 8 Color (Unfixed) mode or 9 Color mode, use cleaning cartridges to fill all
slots with cartridges. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed. The ink in the printer will dry out
and the printer will not function as expected. Leave ink cartridges or replacement
cartridges in all slots even while you are not using the printer.
❏ Because the green IC chip contains the cartridge's own information such as the
remaining ink level, you can still reinstall and use the ink cartridge after removing it from
the printer.
