Best By Statement
Beginning in 2019, BestCode has adopted the use of “Best By” date on fluids rather than a fixed “Use By” or expiration
date. The “Best By” date is month by which BestCode commends the product be used. The “Best By” date means the
fluid is guaranteed to meet the certified test specifications up to the end of the “Best By” month, just as it did the day it
was manufactured. If it is determined that the fluid no longer meets the original specifications before the end of the
“Best By” month, then BestCode will replace the fluid. Due to the wide variation in uses and requirements by our
customers, BestCode cannot guarantee any properties beyond those of the original specifications. It is the
responsibility of the customer to determine the fluid suitability for their particular requirements.
BestCode recognizes that a fluid in many cases may be usable beyond its “Best By” date, we cannot guarantee its
acceptability beyond that date. It is the responsibility of the customer to determine if a fluid is indeed suitable for use
beyond the recommended “Best BY” date. Good storage and handling practices will be favorable in extending the
usable lifetime of a fluid.
For information on good storage and handling practices, please consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Technical Data
Sheet (TDS) for the fluid.
On Inks and their makeups
Beginning is FW Version 01.05.00.00, BestCode has added the ability to use up to three optional makeups for each ink.
This allows the use of makeups dosed with additional ink compatible solvents to help in specific applications. As a
default, the 1
st
listed makeup in the below charts is the preferred makeup product.
Contact customer support if you are having application trouble with one of the inks. Using an alternative makeup may
help improve the performance of the printer.
