    IMPORTANT

    • When filling the machine with ink, be sure to shake any unused ink cartridges to mix the ink.

    • Before inserting the ink cartridges, shake each of them 100 times (about 40 seconds).

      The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. So that the ink mixes well, shake the ink cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (1.97 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge.
