    Although Evolution4500Ink print cartridges require no routine maintenance, proper use and handling of them will help ensure optimum print quality and print cartridge life.

    Store new print cartridges in their original clips when not in use.

    In  a Carton Printing environment dust fibers occasionally build up and drag through the ink and streak it.  In this case, cleaning your ink cartridges can improve the quality of printing.

    Eliminating Ink Streaks:

    Materials you will need

    Before you start, make sure you have the following materials available:

    • A chem wipe (fiber free, not a tissue or a towel, fibers will block the tiny jets)
