Ink Bottle Handling Precautions

Storing precautions for ink

❏ Store ink bottles at normal room temperature and keep them away from direct sunlight.

❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.

❏ When storing or transporting an 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 precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.

❏ Aer 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.
