Ink Safety Precautions
Ink Handling Precautions
- Keep ink
bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle
caps.
- Do not tilt
or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may
leak.
- If ink gets
on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into
your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if
problems persist.
- Do not squeeze the ink bottles.
Ink Refilling Precautions
- Use ink
bottles with the correct part number for this product.
- Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage
caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not designed for your
printer.
- This product
requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink
tanks are filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your clothes
or belongings, it may not come off.
- Do not open
the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink
bottles are vacuum packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an
ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print quality
may be affected.
- If the ink
level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink.
Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower
line on the ink tank could damage the product.
- Epson recommends filling all ink tanks to the upper
line when the product is not operating.
- After
bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to
warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using
it.
- Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
- Store the
ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or
transporting an opened ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do
not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink
may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely.
Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and
take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the
bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank
Information
- To maintain
optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink
tanks during printing and when performing maintenance operations,
such as cleaning the print head.
- The ink
bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect
product function or performance.
- The specification and appearance of the ink bottles
are subject to change without prior notice for improvement.
- If an ink bottle is dented, you can still use the
ink. The quality and quantity of ink will not be affected.
- When
printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead
of black ink, depending on the paper type or print quality
settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create
black.
