Reference Guide
Caring for your ink and cartridges
• Handle cartridges only on the plastic areas. Touching the copper electrical interconnect
or the inkjets can damage the cartridge.
• Use only AV ink intended for the VinylJet36. Do not mix inks.
• Do not shake ink refill containers.
• Store ink and cartridges in the same environment as the printer whenever possible.
• If you remove a cartridge from the printer, do not leave it exposed to the air for an
extended period because the jets may clog. Replace the original tape on the jet plate.
Place the cartridge in a cartridge garage or sealed plastic bag and store it in a closed
area at room temperature. Keep it out of direct sunlight.
• Open new cartridges only when you are ready to install them.
• Use only ENCAD-brand ink refills and cartridges.
• Drawings containing both black and color elements require alignment of the cartridges
to each other as described in the Quick Start Guide.
Choose the right media
The VinylJet 36 is designed to print ONLY on uncoated vinyl media, not on paper.
Caring for your media
Store media in its original packaging in a cool, dry area until you are ready to use it. The
environment should be stable; i.e., no extremes of heat and cold, and non-condensing
humidity. If conditions are outside the operating ranges recommended for the printer, allow
the media to acclimate in the operating environment for at least 48 hours before using it.
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, be sure to store it in a manner which keeps
it clean and dust-free. Ideally, you should return it to its original packaging for storage.
Print on the correct side! Roll media is wound with the printable side out.
Handle with care! Handle your media carefully to avoid creases, scrapes, and tears.
Avoid crushing or damaging roll media edges.
