Notes on Handling Ink or any Other Liquid
Used with the Machine
Precautions regarding ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with this machine are included with the
containers. Thoroughly read them and make sure you understand the contents.
• Be sure to read the safety data sheet (SDS) before use. https://mimaki.com/supply/sds/
• Pay close attention to ventilation and be sure to wear safety glasses, gloves, and a mask when
handling ink, maintenance liquid, waste ink, or other solutions used with the machine. Leaking
ink may adhere to the skin or get into the eyes or mouth.
• Do not subject cases containing ink to strong shock or violent shaking. Do not attempt to refill
the ink. Leaking ink may adhere to the skin or get into your eyes or mouth.
• Do not disassemble cases containing ink. Leaking ink may adhere to the skin or get into your
eyes or mouth.
• Do not store ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with the machine in locations where
children may enter.
• When disposing of ink, maintenance liquid or other liquid used with the product, or the container
or paper towel to which ink or other liquid is attached, contact an industrial waste disposal
operator or dispose of the product in accordance with the local laws and regulations.
• Do not store ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with the machine in locations
exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with the machine in environments
where cutting fluid or other volatile substances (such as amines or modified amine alcohol) are
present in significant quantities. Storage in such places increases the risk of failure or ejection
failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Do not use ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with this machine with other printers.
Doing so may cause failure.
• Store ink, maintenance liquid, or other liquids used with the machine at a height of up to 1 m
from the floor level. Otherwise there is a risk of scattering if the containers fall.
• Store in tightly sealed containers.
• Store in a cool, dark place.
(1) Store ink in a place where ink does not freeze. Using defrosted ink may deteriorate ink
constituents and reduce print quality.
(2) When ink is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the environment where
the machine is installed for at least three hours before using it.
(3) Open the container just before installing it, and use it up as quickly as possible. If it is
opened and left for an extended period of time, print quality may be reduced.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the ink IC chip. Static electricity may damage the ink IC chip,
and dirt or damage may cause the ink IC chip read error.
