Handling and storing ECO-solvent ink

Shake it, store it cool, keep it off the floor, and protect your eyes. Those four habits prevent most ink problems.

Handling and storing ECO-solvent ink

Before you pour

Agitate the bottle before you pour ink into the tank, so the pigment is evenly mixed.

Storage

Keep ink in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and do not stand bottles directly on the floor.

Safety

The ink contains gamma butyrolactone, classed H318, which causes serious eye damage. Wear eye or face protection when pouring or cleaning.

Printing conditions

AM.CO.ZA lists an operating condition of 23°C to 28°C at 40% to 70% relative humidity, non-condensing. A cold or dry print room often shows up as poor drying or banding before anyone suspects the room.
