Shelf Life

Does the Eco-Sol Max ink have a shelf life?

 

[reQ]

i think most inks are up to 12 months

I think the best answer to this question would be another question. How long does it take you to go through a full set? If it takes you a year, some business evaluations need to be made. And that's not sarcasm. That's a serious point. UV is one thing, but if you have Eco Sol Max inks on the shelf for a year or more, you're business on the digital printing side may require immediate attention.

My printer VS-420 has been off for over a year but I kept the head soaked with captop lines clamped off. So far Ive replaced all dampers and new captop, felt wiper and wiper scraper. Printer is setup with 8 colors including white and metallic. Sucked out white and metallic from lines and replaced with cleaning cartridges. Having a hard time getting a good nozzle test. Any suggestion?

As normal, eco solvent ink shelf life is 12 months when thy seal in bottle or cartridge.
After bottle open, it is better use it within 30 days.

Thank you Brent for the reply. Last night I replaced 6 cartridges and did a 24 hour head soak and nozzle check is looking better.
