Mixing the Ink by Shaking the Pouch Tray

If ink components precipitate in the ink pouch, colors may be uneven (unevenness in printed colors). If colors are uneven, remove the pouch trays, and then shake them gently.

So that the ink mixes well, shake the pouch tray horizontally 50 times (about 20 seconds) with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the tray.


Shake the pouch trays:
  • White ink: Each day (before starting the day's operations).
  • Ink other than white ink: Once per week.
MEMO

To prevent ink precipitation, you can make the machine periodically display a message prompting you to mix the ink.

IMPORTANT

  • Do not remove the ink pouches. Shake the entire pouch tray. Removing the ink pouches may lead to the ink leaking.

  • Before shaking, wipe off any ink from around the mouth of the ink pouch. If you do not wipe off the ink, it may splatter when you shake the pouch tray.

  • When you have finished mixing the ink, reinsert the pouch tray immediately. Taking time to reinsert the pouch tray will adversely affect the ink path.

If uneven color issues are not resolved even after shaking the pouch trays to mix the ink, perform Ink Renewal Inside Damper or Ink Renewal.
