Ŷ Consumables and printers
Ink usage specifications
Users must be in possession of these specifications: they can be obtained from our sales
agencies upon request.
The sheet provides the user with information on operating parameters (such as viscosity,
jet speed, etc.) and on specific printing characteristics (including print speed, head/object
distance and so on), which is applicable to your printer's configuration (nozzle size,
number of nozzles, etc.) and the ink you have selected. The sheet also gives
environmental information concerning the storage and use of a particular ink.
Consumption
You should be aware that ink consumption for a given period depends on the number of
characters printed per object, the number of objects marked during the period, the font
used (matrix, bolderization) and the diameter of the nozzle.
Additive consumption to a large extent depends on printer service time and ambient
temperature, as well as on the print head configuration.
Ŷ Consumables and safety
The use of our consumables presupposes some knowledge of the physical and chemical
properties associated with them, and familiarity with the safety instructions applicable for
storage, handling and use of these products.
All of this data is contained on the material safety data sheet, which is available on request
from our sales agencies or at our website; www.markem-imaje.com.
Read these sheets before attempting to start the application.
