3 Load inks
NOTE: UV inks have a limited shelf life. The Warranty Ends date listed on the ink box label should
be taken into account when ordering inks, rotating ink in inventory, and planning print jobs. Printing
with an ink supply after this date may result in substandard image quality.

The amount of ink in the ink supply box is tracked by the printer software and recorded on its
corresponding profiler. The control panel displays a bar graph with the ink levels in each ink box.
When the control panel shows that the ink is low, replace the ink box with a full ink box of the same
color, and replace the profiler.
NOTE: You may want to wear gloves (latex or nitrile) and have a paper towel handy to catch the
drops of ink that may fall from the ink tube connection during this procedure.

Unload an empty ink box
1. Remove the profiler.
2. Lift the box out of its holder and turn the box upside down so the ink tube is pointing up.
3. Grasp the metal connector where the ink tube enters the printer, and push it up to release the
ink supply tube.
4. Remove and dispose of the ink box (refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for proper disposal
procedures).
Load a full ink box
1. Open the new ink box and locate the supply connector.
2. Locate and remove the profiler, and set aside until step 5.
3. Shake, invert and install the ink box into position in the holder, so the ink supply tube is at the
bottom of the box.
