4-2 Printer maintenance and storage
1 Open the front left cover to gain access to the reservoirs.
2 Remove the cap from the reservoir you want to fill.
3 Verify that the ink color and type in the bottle match the ink color and type in the
reservoir.
4 Pour the ink into the reservoir to about 1/2 inch from the top. Do not overfill.
5 Replace the cap on the reservoir and close the panel.
Changing ink types
Changing from one ink type to another, for example, from ENCAD GA to ENCAD GO ink requires
that you change the reservoirs and cartridges to the new type of ink. If one set of ink lines is
being used for a different type of ink, you will need to purge the ink lines with distilled water. If
you are only using two types of inks, this is generally not necessary.
Note: For best results, DO NOT USE GA or GS inks with GO media. NEVER MIX INKS! Use
only inks designated for NovaJet PRO 600e printers.
To change from one type of ink system to another, you will need to do the following:
• Remove and store ink cartridges in the cartridge garages
• Remove and store ink reservoirs
• Install new ink reservoirs
• Install new ink cartridges
If you are changing to a third ink type, for example, if you previously used GA and GO inks and
you now want to use GS and GO inks, you must purge the ink lines and rinse them with distilled
water before changing to a new ink type. You will then have to reprime the lines as described in
Chapter 2. Additional ink reservoirs can be purchased from ENCAD.
Removing and storing ink cartridges
You typically store cartridges when you want to use to a different ink set (and therefore different
cartridges) and need to store the existing cartridges for future reuse. This procedure explains how
to remove, store and reuse cartridges. Following this procedure will extend the life of your
cartridges and prevent ink from leaking from the cartridges.
