Storage & Handling
Storage & Handling
Store inks tightly capped and upright, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly stored, sealed bottles can last for years. Use a clean syringe for each color to avoid cross contamination, and wipe up any drips with a damp paper towel. Use a cleaner with ammonia (e.g. Windex) to clean tough drips or spills.
Accessories like resetters and clips need no special care beyond keeping them clean and dry.
Keep all inks and refill tools out of reach of children and pets. Not for any use other than printer refilling.
