Shake each bottle gently before opening to evenly distribute pigments. Install color by color into the printer’s respective tanks, avoiding cross-contamination. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use within the recommended shelf life after opening. Keep caps tight to prevent drying and evaporation.

For best results, print a test page after installation to verify color balance and coverage. If colors appear faint or off, recalibrate the print settings or check for air bubbles in the bottle.
